When using the narrative, the theory that explains the narrated becoming is not revealed. By attributing motivations to historical agents, explanatory theory opens up a range of possible efficient causes that will be used as explanations. The historical narrative is a very powerful tool because it allows to establish causal links in the past, thus giving an illusion of explanation to becoming without proposing its criterion of knowledge production. This mechanic allows the ideals of ‘romantic history’ to creep into history teaching inadvertently. El trabajo busca dilucidar las razones de la persistencia en la enseñanza de la “historia romántica”, centrada en la consolidación de la identidad nacional con la narración histórica como forma didáctica, en detrimento de la “disciplinar”, basada en el desarrollo de habilidades de pensamiento histórico. Al utilizar la narración, la teoría que explica el devenir narrado no se pone de manifiesto. Mediante la atribución de motivaciones a los agentes históricos, la teoría explicativa abre un abanico de causas eficientes posibles que se utilizarán como explicaciones. La narración histórica es una herramienta muy potente porque permite establecer nexos de causalidad en el pasado, dando de este modo una ilusión de explicación al devenir sin proponer su criterio de producción de conocimiento. Esta mecánica permite que los ideales de la “historia romántica” se introduzcan en la enseñanza de la Historia inadvertidamente.
