Abstract

Heritage education is configured in Early Childhood Education stage as the ideal framework to develop educational experiences that integrate the controversial heritage from the museum to promote knowledge and valuation of environment and to promote early forms of critical thinking. Therefore, this work aims to describe the hall of archaeology in the Museum of Huelva and infer its didactic role for teaching controversial heritage and to recommend several teaching activities for Early Childhood Education. To investigate heritage elements in the museum and the way they are presented, we have made a qualitative analysis using the technique of systematic observation of contexts, using as an instrument a system of categories that allows us to classify the data obtained in a progression hypothesis from a simple perspective of heritage education to the desirable one. As first results, we have found that the Museum of Huelva presents this heritage from an academic approach and it has passive resources and activities, thus it is necessary to design teaching units in which museum can be an educational resource and a place where it can be generated debates and interaction.
