Abstract

Creating learning environments that are interactive, multisensory, and student-centred is a challenge in the context of historical digital education. When such environments, which attempt to mobilize students using a combination of text, image, graphics, audio, and video, are applied to the subject of History, they enable them to develop skills and strategies. Specifically to think historically, integrate into their interpretation of the historical space and time when they happened and adopt a positive attitude towards the specific subject of knowledge. In the present research, the modification of students’ attitudes was investigated using the valid and reliable EDIS scale through the GEO-HISTOR interactive environment, highlighting the importance of using similar learning environments in historical education.
