Abstract
History teaching is particularly important to increase intercultural dialogue between people
who live in different countries. History textbooks should reveal history in all its complexity,
promoting democratic values, tolerance, and cooperation for a better future, without
creating prejudice or negative visions of others. This research is focused on history teaching
referring to the recommendations of Council of Europe (COE) and their implementation in
Albania and Kosovo curricula. The method used in this research integrates both qualitative
and quantitative analysis referring to the content of history textbooks in a comparative
approach. We used a questionnaire to understand teachers' feelings about COE
recommendations and if they are implemented in history texts. Referring to the
results, the recommendations of COE are not fully reflected even though they are mentioned in pre-university’ curricula framework. Meanwhile, the questionnaire submitted by the teachers
shows to what extent they know the COE recommendations and how much these recommendations develop student’s competencies.
