Cases on Historical Thinking and Gamification in Social Studies and Humanities Education
Research on history education and historical thinking is becoming increasingly relevant internationally. The need for a renewal of history education is not only justified by the epistemology of history itself, but also by the demand for a methodological change in education in general, making students active protagonists in the construction of their learning and based on the development of competencies. Further study on the potential use of gamification within social studies and humanities education is required to understand its benefits and challenges. Cases on Historical Thinking and Gamification in Social Studies and Humanities Education proposes and analyzes gamification as a pedagogical innovation that can enable the renewal of the teaching and learning process of history, facilitating the active learning of historical thinking concepts while influencing students' conceptions of history as a discipline and as a school subject. Covering key topics such as historical thinking, social sciences, video games, and mobile learning, this reference work is ideal for historians, policymakers, researchers, scholars, academicians, practitioners, instructors, and students.
Re-imagining the Teaching of European History

Women and Family Property
This book examines property legislation and the actual position of women in receiving, holding and passing on family property as daughters, wives and as widows throughout history. Traditionally the prevailing view has been that women have been disadvantaged in the distribution of property and therefore less interesting as objects of study. This volume challenges this view and explores the securing of property for families or for individuals through transfers in the shape of dowries, marriage contracts, wills and other arrangements, as well as how women used and distributed the property they were holding.The scope of the volume is both urban and rural, analysing the position of women in relation to family property through contributions from a wide geographic area. The chapters investigate the situation in southern and northern Europe, across the Atlantic and Africa throughout the 18th to the 20th century. This volume will be of value to academics, undergraduates, postgraduates and scholars interested in gender and history and social history.
Handbook of Research on Decision-Making Capabilities Improvement With Serious Games
How can a group be empowered to improve their ability to make decisions while also reinforcing the group’s intended values, beliefs, and behaviors? Like positive reinforcement, which introduces a desirable or pleasant stimulus after a behavior has been completed and has been found to be effective for reinforcing such behavior, serious games introduce the behavior as a pleasant experience through engagement and entertainment. Where positive reinforcement relies heavily on the willpower of the subject to complete the behavior on their own, serious games introduce a motivational factor from the beginning of the behavior. Serious games are designed for purposes other than entertainment, such a...

Familias, jerarquización y movilidad social
Se reflexiona sobre la trascendencia de la familia para comprender los fenómenos de movilidad y de estratificación social, especialmente a partir de las nuevas perspectivas metodológicas abiertas por el estudio de redes. Si conceptos como el de patronazgo, clientela o linaje pueden iluminar las jerarquías sociales en el pasado y profundizar en el comportamiento de los distintos grupos sociales, los análisis de las redes informales que configuraban el entramado social de las comunidades tradicionales pueden cuestionar tesis como el inmovilismo social que supuestamente caracterizaba a dichas sociedades.
Pasado presente
Los textos reunidos en esta obra ofrecen un recorrido por formas específicas de existencia histórica de la memoria y su relación con el conocimiento histórico. Cada capítulo insiste en la idea de analizar la compleja relación entre memoria e historia. Se exploran nuevas rutas temáticas que hacen frente a un mosaico de preocupaciones enmarcadas en los debates que la historia experimenta, cuando las representaciones del pasado ponen de relieve las disputas por la memoria. Un proceso que se hace aún más per inente con la instauración de un tiempo de excepción marcado por la constante aceleración, suspensión y transformación de las interacciones sociales a causa de los efectos glob...
Infancia expuesta y maternidad en la inclusa palentina a los largo del Antiguo Régimen
Esta investigación pretende acercar al lector al mundo de la marginación infantil —abandonados, asesinados, maltratados y objeto de numerosos abusos—, la maternidad y los afectos en Castilla durante la Edad Moderna. Tres realidades profundamente imbricadas entre sí que, analizadas e interpretadas de manera conjunta, permiten apreciar continuidades y disrupciones dentro de los procesos de mentalidad y sociabilidad propios del siglo XVIII. Así, vamos a atestiguar las vivencias de mujeres y niños. De mujeres que, inmersas en un sistema patriarcal que tendía a minusvalorar su capacidad intelectual, se encargaban de amamantar, criar e instruir moralmente a los individuos más jóvenes, ...
Historia de la familia, historia social
La historia de la familia como campo de investigación nació a principios de los años sesenta del siglo XX y desde entonces ha experimentado una importante evolución que ha modificado tanto su contenido como su orientación. Esta obra colectiva ofrece un balance de este ámbito de estudio en España y en varios países europeos incidiendo en sus particulares avances, así como en la riqueza y en la diversidad de sus enfoques actuales. Con la intención de fomentar el intercambio de planteamientos y de la transmisión de conocimientos referidos a diferentes territorios, el libro presenta una amplia muestra de experiencias de investigación entre los siglos XVI y XIX que constituyen una excelente expresión del desarrollo de la historia social en Europa a partir de los estudios de historia de la familia. La mayor atención prestada a la dimensión social de los fenómenos que concurren en ella ha supuesto multiplicar su potencialidad para la explicación y comprensión de las sociedades del pasado, contribuyendo de manera decisiva a la renovación y al impulso de nuevas formas de hacer historia dentro del panorama historiográfico internacional.
