Sociocultural theory: potentialities to motivate the cuban history class in universities

Abstract

 This paper is based on an analysis of the essential contents of L. Vygotsky's sociocultural theory as the most influential learning theory in the motivational process of teaching-learning in History. Its authors, from a punctual epistemological study, reveal its varied possibilities with respect to other learning theories, to arouse the interest of university students for the full knowledge of the country's history. From this perspective, the determination of the theoretical-methodological potentialities of Sociocultural Theory was proposed as a fundamental objective to motivate the History of Cuba class in Higher Education.
