Abstract

Despite the content and structural challenges, the teaching methods of history teachers are always considered as one of the most important issues of history education, however, a comprehensive solution to solve this problem has not yet been provided by experts in this field. If students do not have a participatory and active role in the history teaching process, education will be boring, pointless and confusing. This is despite the fact that cartoons as a medium for developing humor, critical thinking, logical thinking and enlightening history for students can be considered as one of the most important tools for teaching history. The purpose of this research is to improve the quality of history teaching and increase students' interaction and participation in history lessons using cartoon media. In this paper, a qualitative and analytical descriptive method has been used, and data collection has been done using Taking notes. The findings of the article show that cartoons can increase synergy, increase critical thinking, play the role of a complementary tool, increase self-confidence and students' tranquility and confidence, provide entertainment, increase creativity and the objectivity of history, and also increase the durability of learning. Solve some of the upcoming challenges in history education. Based on this, the design of specialized courses for history students, the revision of history textbooks, and the need to design educational-historical cartoons are suggested.
