The teaching of history plays an important role in the training of students, since its content requires an interpretive analysis (Carretero and González, 2012), contextualization and evaluation of historical sources (Carretero and Limón, 1993); what is linked to the development of critical thinking (Plá, 2012). These cognitive abilities could appear in the stage of formal operations (Inhelder and Piaget, 1958). For this reason, the main objective of this research was to show how do fifth year high school students from a private school in Arequipa interpret historical sources; having as secondary objectives, to know if the type of educational experience has any influence on the interpretation of sources and, to find out if there is any difference in the interpretation of sources between documents with a strong identity link and documents with no identity relationship. The participants were 30 students between the ages of 16 and 17, from two different curricular proposals, who were asked to answer a questionnaire and 6 were selected for an interview. In this questionnaire, it was proposed that students analyze historical sources of two war conflicts. The results show that the students have not yet developed this analysis skills neither use the proposed heuristics (corroboration, contextualization and documentation). However, there were differences in the interpretations regarding the educational experience and identity link. These results reflect the importance of facilitating students to develop cognitive skills that stimulate the development of historical thinking.
