Abstract

This paper presents the results obtained in an investigation of the role of heritage in
current education regulations as a vehicle for the formation of citizens. The analysis
was conducted on the Spanish state education regulations and their implementation
in the Autonomous Region of Andalusia corresponding to the stages of pre-primary
and primary education. A qualitative, descriptive-interpretative method was used. It
was based on document analyses. To this end, a system of categories was prepared,
organized into subcategories, variables and descriptors. From the results, there stands
out the need to continue working on incorporating heritage into the formation of
global citizens. For this, it is essential to build an integrated curriculum structured
on the basis of “relevant socio-environmental problems”.
