Abstract:

This study aimed to determine the impact of history education on citizenship development, cultural representation, the role of teachers in shaping historical consciousness, and the influence of globalization on learners' national identity and citizenship in District 5 of Valencia City Division during the 2024-2025 school year. Furthermore, this study followed a descriptive-correlation methodology. The findings demonstrated that history education has a significant impact on citizenship development, cultural representation, the role of teachers in forming historical consciousness, and the influence of globalization. Furthermore, the extent of learners' national identity and citizenship is relatively significant. Another finding demonstrated a significant link between the impact of history instruction and students' national identity and citizenship. Thus, the null hypothesis is rejected. These findings suggest that instructors should undergo ongoing professional development to equip them with tools for cultivating historical consciousness and critical engagement with the past. Furthermore, incorporating digital resources and global perspectives into history courses can help students understand historical events in a more comprehensive context, ensuring that history education remains dynamic, inclusive, and relevant in an increasingly interconnected world. To develop learners' national identity and citizenship, educational institutions should incorporate more civic education, cultural programming, and community service initiatives into their curricula. Encouraging frank discussions about national ideals, history, and social obligations will help them better understand and appreciate their country. Furthermore, coordination among schools, families, and government agencies can boost patriotic participation through national events, leadership programs, and mentorship, ensuring that students become engaged and responsible members of their communities.
