What kind of teaching Heritage conservation topics require? JF - Ge-conservacion JA - GEC VL - 11 IS - SE - Suplemento DO - 10.37558/gec.v11i0.462 UR - https://ge-iic.com/ojs/index.php/revista/article/view/462 SP - 121-127 AB - he subject of teaching Historic and Cultural Heritage in primary and secondary schools has been widely covered in the last few years. However, the specific topic on Heritage conservation has been barely developed despite its transcendence from the point of view of future preservation of Heritage items. This paper presents the theoretical and practical background in which the design of a didactic unit on Heritage conservation has been based. Among the main objectives which are intended to be covered by such a didactic unit are the significance of the Cultural Heritage, the importance of its conservation, the recognition of Heritage locales, when is important to conserve them, differences between conservation and restoration, the influence of environmental conditions and so on. Possible evaluation activities and suitable schools in which the unit could be put into practice are also some of the subjects dealt with in this contribution. ER -
