The purpose of this paper is to make the reader aware of the characteristics of the methodological approaches used by historians to carry out research processes. There are different ways to investigate social reality. Scientific research in social sciences is approached from three paradigms or methodological alternatives: quantitative, qualitative, and comparative. Although each approach is based on different assumptions and has its rules and basic forms of action, already established and shared by the scientific community, they do not exclude one another but rather complement each other. This study aims at demonstrating how the methodology of the comparative method and its emphatic step can be applied in the development of history and in the classroom, to understand the academic phenomena directly related to the teaching and learning of History at the basic education level, specifically in secondary school.

Palabras llave : Methodological approaches; Historical research; Comparative methodology; Qualitative methodology; Quantitative methodology.
