The present study analyzes the presence of History as a study topic in primary education in Romania, as reflected in the main curricular documents approved by the Ministry of National Education - Framework Plan for Primary Education (Bucharest, 2013), the School Curriculum for the Fourth Grade (Bucharest, 2014) respectively. From a structural point of view, it begins by arguing the importance of studying history in early childhood. Subsequently, the analysis focuses on Romania and captures the place of History in the curricular documents for primary education, the purpose of its study, the targeted competencies, including the contribution of the discipline to the formation of the eight key competencies established at European level. Finally, the information means by which the four general competencies are intended to be achieved are briefly described, as well as the methodological suggestions regarding the teaching, learning and assessment activities.
