| description | This article presents the results of a research project carried out in Benidorm (Alicante, Spain) during the period 2015- 2016. It explores the social representations of young people between 16 and 18 years of age, in the face of the current political and economic situation: the causes, the solutions, and those responsible for the economic crisis. The adolescents that took part in this study are in secondary school, attend the same educational institution and come from similar socio-economic contexts. They were divided into two groups. One of the groups receives Contemporary History classes (Group A) and the other does not (Group B). The data was collected from a questionnaire with questions about the crisis, regarding images from the current socio-economic crisis and commentaries from historical sources about the crises of 1873, 1929 and 2008. The results show that the group that receives History classes is more critical when analyzing the current societal problems, as well as establishing analogies with the past to explain the situations of the present, whereas the other group reproduces the opinions of the media. |

This article presents the results of a research project carried out in Benidorm (Alicante, Spain) during the period 2015- 2016. It explores the social representations of young people between 16 and 18 years of age, in the face of the current political and economic situation: the causes, the solutions, and those responsible for the economic crisis. The adolescents that took part in this study are in secondary school, attend the same educational institution and come from similar socio-economic contexts. They were divided into two groups. One of the groups receives Contemporary History classes (Group A) and the other does not (Group B). The data was collected from a questionnaire with questions about the crisis, regarding images from the current socio-economic crisis and commentaries from historical sources about the crises of 1873, 1929 and 2008. The results show that the group that receives History classes is more critical when analyzing the current societal problems, as well as establishing analogies with the past to explain the situations of the present, whereas the other group reproduces the opinions of the media. En este artículo se indaga sobre las representaciones sociales de chicos y chicas de 16 a 18 años ante la realidad política y económica actual: las causas, los culpables y soluciones a la crisis económica. Los y las adolescentes cursan estudios de Bachillerato en dos grupos del mismo centro educativo y provienen de contextos socioeconómicos similares, sin embargo, uno de los dos recibe las clases de Historia Contemporánea (Grupo A) y el otro no cursa la asignatura (Grupo B). Se recopila la información a partir de un cuestionario de preguntas sobre la crisis, en torno a imágenes de la actualidad socioeconómica y comentarios de fuentes históricas sobre las crisis de 1873, 1929 y 2008. Los resultados muestran que el grupo que recibe las clases de Historia es más crítico a la hora de analizar los problemas actuales de la sociedad, además de establecer analogías con el pasado para explicar las situaciones del presente, mientras que el otro grupo reproduce las opiniones de los medios de comunicación. Dans cet article nous présentons les résultats d’une enquête menée à Benidorm (Alicante, Espagne) pendant l’année scolaire 2015-2016. Le but était de connaître les représentations sociales des garçons et des illes entre 16 et 18 ans face à la réalité politique et économique actuelle : les causes, les responsables et les solutions de la crise économique. Les adolescent.e.s en question poursuivent leurs études dans le secondaire et appartiennent à deux classes de la même institution, partageant en outre un contexte socioéconomique similaire. Cependant, alors que l’une des classes suit des cours d’Histoire Contemporaine (Groupe A), l’autre ne le fait pas (Groupe B). Pour mener l’enquête un questionnaire a été constitué autour de la crise, des images de l’actualité socio-économique et des commentaires de sources historiques à propos des crises de 1873, 1929 et 2008. Les résultats indiquent que le groupe suivant les cours d’histoire est plus critique lorsqu’il s’agit d’analyser les problèmes actuels de la société, établissant en plus des analogies avec le passé pour expliquer les situations du présent, tandis que l’autre groupe reproduit les opinions véhiculées par les médias.
