MINTE MUNZENMAYER, Andrea. Teachers´ perception about authoritarism in textbooks on History of Chile. Rev. Esc. Hist. [online]. 2012, vol.11, n.2, pp.00-00. ISSN 1669-9041.

This article is based on a research about the perception of Authoritarism among high school teachers that use textbooks for the study of History of Chile. An inquiry was used to find out how teachers define authoritarism and if they perceive it in the textbooks. The inquiry included a group of sixty high school teachers from different educational realities of "Region de los Lagos" and "Region de los Ríos", Chile. The answers were analyzed hermeneutically and categories of emergent analysis were established. The results obtained show that although the subjects under study define authoritarism properly they not perceive it in the textbooks used. This lack of critical attitude and scarce capacity to reveal the hidden curriculum is one of the most important findings of the research.

Keywords : Authoritarism; Text books; Hidden curriculum.
