Abstract

Results of a qualitative research of phenomenological type are offered on the representations and attitudes of a sample of Spanish and Portuguese preservice teachers of secondary education related to the teaching of the transitions from dictatorship to democracy in Spain and Portugal. The research involved 39 preservice teachers of secondary education who were studying at the universities of Santiago de Compostela (24) and Porto (15), with an average age of 25.9 years and a balanced distribution in terms of gender. Information was collected by means of a questionnaire with open, multiple response and Likert scale items. Participants were asked for relevant characters and events of the transitions in both countries, a selection of key ideas to take to the secondary classrooms, and the degree of agreement with four different attitudes of teachers when teaching difficult pasts such as the dictatorship-democracy transitions
