Theory holds the capacity to help educators see the world differently, challenge problematic assumptions and practices that cultivate harm, and illuminate pathways towards access, equity, justice, joy, and love. While it is easy to underestimate the role of theory in such pursuits throughout social studies education, this book shows that theory is always-already present in all productions of teaching and learning. In this collection, well-established scholars highlight a broad range of theories that are currently being used to alter the landscape of social studies instruction. Important to these efforts is the position that theory does not exist in a vacuum but rather is the reflection of a certain set of concepts and the relationship that one holds to those ideas. Taking this further, each chapter author employs storytelling as a means to share their personal history and unpack how they came to understand their selected theoretical topic. They address a breadth of concepts, such as Black feminism, psychoanalysis, racial capitalism, settler colonialism, sustainability, and technoskepticism. Book Features:The only resource of its kind that pairs storying with a far-reaching range of theories actively being used by scholars in the field of social studies education and research.Brief chapters, arranged alphabetically by concept, provide structure while also staying true to the book's framing of theory as being curious, fragmented, nomadic, and discursive.Embedded connections within each chapter meant to help readers understand the relational and entangled nature of theory.Contributors include Sohyun An, Kristen Duncan, Jillian Ford, Jim Garrett, Wayne Journell, Noreen Naseem Rodriguez, Muna Saleh, Sandra Schmidt, Sarah Shear, Cathryn van Kessel, and Amanda Vickery.

This edited book is a continuation of Keith Barton's Research Methods in Social Studies Education (2006), one of the most popular texts in the Information Age's Research in Social Education series. (Re)Envisioning Social Studies Education Research: Current Epistemological and Methodological Expansions, Deconstructions, and Creations explores research in social studies education over the 15 years since. Chapters offer insight into how researchers use different epistemological frameworks and non-traditional or emergent methods to advance social studies scholarship. The book is organized into two sections: (1) methodology as epistemological stretches, revisions, and/or entanglements; and (2) emergent and non-traditional methods in social studies research and practice. Authors pull on diverse and emerging theoretical frameworks, review recently published research, and highlight their own experiences with inquiry in the field. This text serves as a platform to explore the processes and products of diverse research decisions to engage the field in broader conversations that can rethink, expand, and disrupt social studies education research. The intention is also to honor and center epistemological frameworks that have been marginalized in previous scholarship. This text can serve as an entry point for graduate students and novice scholars, while also helping seasoned researchers seek opportunities to expand their own work or mentor students.

Every social studies curriculum tells a story. It is increasingly apparent that new stories are needed to guide us through the multiple and intersecting crises that have come to define our times. This accessible volume supports student teachers, teachers, and teacher educators to engage critically with the stories that social studies curricula tell and neglect to tell, particularly those that relate and contribute to the root causes of contemporary social and ecological injustices. A balanced and inclusive curriculum necessitates a broad range of stories and perspectives, not just the master narratives of dominant groups. Incorporating a range of pedagogical approaches and spanning a diversity of themes, from representations of Africa in Chinese textbooks, to slavery and the American civil rights movement, to refugees and the role of indigenous knowledge systems in addressing climate breakdown, this volume includes and creatively engages with previously marginalized and silenced stories and perspectives. Both practical and theoretical in its approach, it seeks to provoke, meaningfully support, and inspire educators to incorporate alternative stories or counter-narratives into their social studies teaching. This unique volume is essential reading for student teachers, teachers, teacher educators as well as anyone interested in inspiring children and young people to be open-minded, critically engaged, and empathetic agents of change, committed to addressing realworld social and ecological injustices.

How to Incorporate Equity and Justice in Your Teaching advocates for radical inclusivity in the contemporary social science classroom. Including a range of adaptable course materials, this forward-thinking book will enable instructors working at a range of levels to integrate equity and social justice into their practice.Editors Don C. Sawyer III, JT Torres and Suzanne S. Hudd encourage instructors to broaden their understanding of the institutional and societal contexts in which their classes are taught, as well as the demographic makeup of their student bodies. The book further suggests flexible frameworks and strategies for effectively engaging in socially just pedagogical activities, where multiple perspectives are empowered and classroom community is forged. It models a reflective, lifelong approach towards equity; one that engenders a temperament that can readily be applied outside of the classroom to facilitate wider social justice initiatives in the workplace and in society at large.A crucial read for academics, scholars and researchers in higher education and teaching methods in the social sciences, this book will also be a blueprint for increasing inclusivity in the classroom, benefitting instructors beginning their diversity equity and inclusivity training, as well as institutional administrators who oversee faculty programming.

Desde un enfoque crítico de análisis del presente (Zemelman) y descolonial (sabidurías insurgentes, epistemologías otras, Grupo Modemidad/Colonialidad, epistemologías del sur), este libro plasma en cada capítulo una invitación a la reflexión profunda sobre la enseñanza-aprendizaje en la educación superior, específicamen­te en la formación docente. Tomando como unidades de análisis cuatro programas académicos de licenciatura en ciencias sociales de universi­dades públicas: Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia, Pedagógica Nacional, del Valle y del Atlántico, la investigación se propuso: ( a) identi­ficar las consecuencias de la aplicación de la política educativa formali­zada con la Resolución 02041 de 2016 ( derogada) y la vigente 18583 de 2017; (b) analizar la presencia del enfoque descolonial en los cuatro programas de formación de licenciados en ciencias sociales, rastreando las categorías: género, etnicidad e identidad; (c) identificar las necesida­des en los programas de formación inicial docente en ciencias sociales y del docente universitario de tales programas. Entre los principales resultados de la investigación se presentan: (a) el análisis de las experiencias y necesidades de formación docente en el mundo y en la región de América Latina; (b) la radiografía de la forma­ción inicial docente en Colombia; ( c) el análisis de la'discontinuidad de la política educativa''para la formación de educadores y los impactos de la política de acreditación de la calidad en los programas académicos; (d) el análisis y caracterización -en clave descolonial- de la formación inicial docente en ciencias sociales; (e) la identificación de las necesida­des de los programas estudiados y de los profesores universitarios forma­dores de formadores; (f) una propuesta de cualificación de la formación inicial docente.

Creating an Inclusive Social Studies Classroom for Exceptional Learners serves as a comprehensive reference guide for K-12 educators and university-based social studies methods instructors and special education instructors wanting to create more inclusive opportunities for students with disabilities in the general education curriculum. Numerous research-based methods and instructional strategies are shared that enable teachers to effectively engage all learners in the social studies classroom. Social studies educators are encouraged to become a leading voice in support for the inclusion of students with disabilities in K-12 general education classrooms. Written by scholars with extensive backgrounds in social studies and special education, this book enhances and extends the small but growing body of literature addressing the needs of students with disabilities in social studies classrooms. Divided into three sections, the chapters explore how social studies provides an opportunity to create more inclusion for students with disabilities, how to create an inclusive learning environment through best practices in collaborating and planning, and how to help students with disabilities gain access to social studies content and achieve higher levels of understanding. Each chapter provides a brief theoretical underpinning and the latest research within the chapter topic, and practical and engaging strategies that readers can easily implement within their own classrooms. Educators receive guidance on how to get started with implementing the strategies along with suggestions for future research topics.

La continua exposición a contenidos audiovisuales y productos mediáticos a los que se encuentran expuestos los educandos a lo largo del día y el uso en todas las esferas de la vida de las tecnologías digitales llevan a los profesionales de la educación a tomar conciencia de la necesidad de incorporar estos elementos que forman parte de la cotidianeidad del individuo como recursos y estrategias para el aprendizaje en las aulas de los diferentes niveles del sistema educativo, desde las enseñanzas obligatorias hasta las superiores,Hoy más que nunca, los individuos que intervienen en el ámbito educativo, con independencia del papel que estos desempeñen en el sector como: especialistas, investigadores o docentes, coinciden en afirmar que la construcción del conocimiento no es un hecho que tenga lugar exclusivamente en el contexto educativo formal, así como tampoco es un fenómeno que pueda ser alcanzado en soledad y sin la interacción y cooperación con diferentes sujetos, ya sea de modo presencial o a través de la pantalla, Es por ello por lo que, en la actualidad se hace necesaria la observación y exploración de la función que desempeñan los aprendizajes no formales e informales del alumnado y concretamente en las enseñanzas de las Ciencias Sociales como es el caso que nos ocupa en esta obra, Interrelaciones entre la imagen, el texto y las tecnologías digitales, Nuevas perspectivas en la enseñanza de las Ciencias Sociales,

The growing chasm between rich and poor, within societies and between nations, has enormous implications not only for people's well-being and life chances but for the prospects for democracy throughout the world. From the interpersonal to the societal level, social inequality is the central feature of social life. Helping students appreciate and understand this is the most important task of social science instruction.Garth Massey provides a down-to-earth guide to teaching and learning that emphasizes historically and comparatively the social construction and institutional maintenance of social inequality. It explores approaches to teaching big ideas and theories, along with the challenges raised by the notions and assumptions students bring to class. The author emphasizes how to unpack and make comprehensible the complexity of social inequality in society today and also how to explore the often quantitative understandings provided by contemporary research.Highly attractive is the accessible style of this book, encouraging open classroom discussion and examination of sometimes contentious topics such as class and racial privilege, homelessness, gender preference and sexual identity, shrinking opportunities for social mobility, and global human migration. Its scope makes it a useful tool for instructors of social movements, globalization, race and ethnicity, gender studies, border studies and all courses that impart an understanding of social life.

Drawing together international perspectives and disciplinary sub-fields of comparative and global social policy, this book provides an insightful guide for educators and academics embarking on or revisiting the design and teaching of classes, courses and programmes in and around social and public policy.Teaching Social Policy captures the multi-disciplinary and multi-layered scope of social policy, exploring how this enables versatility in teaching and extends opportunities to expand knowledge and skills that may otherwise remain untapped. Chapters present ideas and examples of teaching activities to support learning in social policy, with a specific focus on approaches and tools to decolonise the social policy curricula. Serving as a practical guide for scholars teaching social policy, the book maps the terrain of student learning and explores novel ideas for teaching within the context of contemporary challenges facing higher education.Offering ideas, reflections and guidance on the challenges and benefits of internationalising and decolonising the curriculum, this dynamic book will be an invaluable resource for higher education educators, early career academics and course designers with an interest in social policy, social administration, sociology and public policy.

La educación es una herramienta fundamental para el desarrollo integral de los estudiantes. En la actualidad, la educación debe ser vista como una oportunidad para desarrollar habilidades y competencias que permitan la formación de ciudadanos críticos, creativos, responsables y comprometidos con el mundo que les rodea. En este sentido, las expresiones artísticas y las ciencias sociales y humanas tienen un papel fundamental en la formación integral de los estudiantes.Este libro de experiencias didácticas se enfoca en dos secciones principales: Expresiones Artísticas: Música y literatura y Ciencias Sociales y Humanas. Cada una de estas secciones tiene como objetivo proporcionar a los estudiantes una educación integral en las expresiones artísticas y en las ciencias sociales y humanas.

Social arts are manifold and are initiated by multiple actors, spaces, and direction from many directions and intentions, but generally they aim to generate personal, familial, group, community or general social transformation which can maintain and enhance personal and community resilience, communication, negotiation, and transitions, as well as help with community building and rehabilitation, civic engagement, social inclusion, and cohesion. Occurring via community empowerment, institutions, arts in health, inter-ethnic conflict, and frames of lobbying for social change, social art can transform and disrupt power relations and hegemonic narratives, destigmatize marginalized groups, and humanize society through creating empathy for the other. This book provides a broad range of all of the above, with multiple international examples of projects (photo-voice, community theater, crafts groups for empowerment, creative place-making, arts in institutions, and arts-based participatory research) that is initiated by social practitioners and by artists – and in collaboration between the two. The aim of this book is to help to illustrate, explore, and demystify this interdisciplinary area of practice. With methods and theoretical orientation as the focus of each chapter, the book can be used both in academic settings and for training social and art practitioners, as well as for social practitioners and artists in the field.

This volume celebrates cellphilm as an emerging Participatory Visual Method which effectively and powerfully engenders learning and catalyses social change. The book outlines the method's theoretical framework, the role of the educator and researcher, and ethical concerns of using this method, and critically explores issues which determine the production and dissemination of creative outputs. The authors demonstrate the emerging methodology of cellphilm and how it can be utilised from both pedagogical and methodological standpoints. Using examples of cellphilms created to understand social issues, this book illustrates how the method enables diverse populations to document their communities and realities using mobile devices.By exploring cellphilm as a growing method in participatory visual research, the work fills an important gap in the fields of critically engaged community-based research, pedagogy and higher education for scholars and community activists.

Education for Social Justice is a statement of the role of education in promoting social justice. Drawing on research, this book explains what social justice is, presents the argument that democracy requires a commitment to social justice, and shows what action steps need to be taken to ensure social justice is achieved within education and society more broadly.The text presents research and concrete examples to examine the social justice issues facing society today. Some of the social justice topics explored include access to higher education, informal education (such as museums and art galleries) and adequate civic education, and racial and gender discrimination within education, as well as access to healthcare and the vote, which impact students'learning. It explores specific research and action for each of these elements and, at the end of the book, provides potential paths forward to improve social justice outcomes.This timely book encourages readers to consider what we can do to enhance social justice in education and society. It is important reading for pre-service teachers, particularly those studying teaching for social justice, social studies education, and educational policy and politics, as well as for in-service teachers who want to make a difference.The Open Access version of this book, available at http://www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons [Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND)] 4.0 license.

En los últimos tiempos, la innovación docente en ciencias sociales, jurídicas y otras disciplinas con contenido normativo ha estado presidida por un amplio protagonismo de la introducción de una mayor presencia de elementos e instrumentos de docencia online. Esto se intensificó especialmente con motivo de la Pandemia del COVID, pero tras la puesta en práctica de instrumentos online por casi todo el profesorado universitario, el uso de algunos de éstos se ha venido manteniendo en el tiempo más allá de la citada pandemia, que de alguna forma supuso el elemento decisivo para que muchos profesores adoptasen definitivamente el uso de instrumentos de docencia virtual, si antes no lo hacían. Temas como la utilización del cine y otros medios audiovisuales, así como los instrumentos de gamificación en la docencia, se vienen usando ya desde hace tiempo y se puede innovar en las técnicas a utilizar dentro de estos ámbitos, pero no representarían realidades nuevas. Por ello, debemos buscar ámbitos nuevos de innovación y no sólo innovar dentro de los tradicionales ámbitos en los que ésta ya se practicaba. Digamos que no se trata sólo de encontrar o crear, por ejemplo, nuevos juegos dentro de las actividades de gamificación, sino de encontrar nuevas vías con las que innovar, no tratándose sólo de encontrar nuevas técnicas o instrumentos dentro de vías que ya se utilizaban…

Posthumanism has seen a surge across the humanities and offers a unique perspective, seeking to illuminate the role that more-than-human actors (e.g., affect, artifacts, objects, flora, fauna, other materials) play in the human experience. This book challenges the field of social studies education to think differently about the precarious status of the world (i.e., climate crisis, ongoing fights for racial equity, and Indigenous sovereignty). By cultivating a greater sense of attunement to the more-than-human, educators and scholars can foster more ethical ways of teaching, learning, researching, being, and becoming. In an effort to push the boundaries of what constitutes social studies, chapter authors engage with a wide range of disciplines and offer unique perspectives from various locations across the globe. This volume asks: How can thinking with posthumanism disrupt normative approaches to social studies education and research in ways that promote imaginativeness, speculation, and nonconformity? How can a posthumanist lens be used to interrogate neoliberal, systemic, and oppressive conditions that reproduce and perpetuate in-humanness? Book Features:A collection of essays that explore the phenomenon of posthuman approaches to social studies scholarship.Contributions by many prominent social studies education scholars representing seven countries—Canada, Norway, Russia, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United States.A foreword by Boni Wozolek and an afterword by Nathan Snaza, both of who have made significant contributions to critical posthumanism in education. Provocation chapters that push readers'thinking about the various ways that posthumanism connects to teaching and learning social studies.Images of more-than-human entanglements (i.e., artwork, photography, poetry).Contributors include Asilia Franklin-Phipps, Muna Saleh, Sandra Schmidt, Mark Helmsing, Erin Adams, and Avner Segall.

Becoming a Social Science Researcher is designed to help aspiring social scientists, including credentialed scholars, understand the formidable complexities of the research process. Instead of explaining specific research techniques, it concentrates on the philosophical, sociological, and psychological dimensions of social research. These dimensions have received little coverage in guides written for social science researchers, but they are arguably even more important than particular analytical techniques. Truly sophisticated social science scholarship requires that the researcher understand the intellectual and social contexts in which they collect and interpret information. While social science training in US graduate schools has become more systematic over the past two decades with numerous publications aimed at instruction, training and guidance still fall short in addressing the fundamental needs of this field.

A book that explores the delicacy and critical importance of getting history right, and teaching it in an age-appropriate way in the classroom, every time.Hot Button: Teaching Sensitive Social Studies Content explores the difficulty, delicacy, and ethical obligations of teaching accurate history to all students. It names and explores the issues with being the ‘tip of the spear'in the classroom after a long line of generally bureaucratic and political decisions are made and how to apply appropriate logic and decision making into what constitutes your scope and sequence and lesson plans as a social studies teacher. It features contributions from Alysha Butler, Kelly Reichardt, Gerardo Muñoz, Chris Dier, and accomplished author Bart King.

Traumagenic events—episodes that have caused or are likely to cause trauma—color the experiences of K-12 students and the social studies curriculum they encounter in U.S. schools. At the same time that the global COVID-19 pandemic has heightened educators'awareness of collective trauma, the racial reckoning of 2020 has drawn important attention to historical and transgenerational trauma. At a time when social studies educators can simply no longer ignore “difficult” knowledge, instruction that acknowledges trauma in social studies classrooms is essential. Through employing relational pedagogies and foregrounding voices that are too often silenced, the lessons in Hollywood or History? An Inquiry-Based Strategy for Using Film to Acknowledge Trauma in Social Studies engage students in examining the role of traumatic or traumagenic events in social studies curriculum. The 20 Hollywood or History? lessons are organized by themes such as political trauma and war and genocide. Each lesson presents film clips, instructional strategies, and primary and secondary sources targeted to the identified K-12 grade levels. As a collection, they provide ready-to-teach resources that are perfect for teachers who are committed to acknowledging trauma in their social studies instruction.

For the last 2 decades, the field of social studies education has seen an increase in research on the use of discussions as an essential instructional technique. This book examines the importance of using quality dialogue as a tool to help students understand complex issues in social studies classrooms. The author provides a collection of well-known, evidence-based discussion techniques as well as classroom examples showing the methods in use. While the benefits of using discussion as an instructional method is widely considered a best practice of civic learning, actual high-quality discussions are rare and notoriously difficult to facilitate. Making Classroom Discussions Work is designed to guide teacher educators and classroom teachers in facilitating equitable and productive discussions that will boost learning and democratic engagement.Book Features:Emphasizes the rationale for using discussion in social studies teaching. Collects strategies that have been proposed in disparate journal articles and books in one convenient volume.Presents research-based challenges and supports for conducting and assessing discussions in the social studies. Includes methods and tips to help teachers make discussions more equitable in their classrooms.Contributors: Terence Beck, Jacob S. Bennett, Bryant O.

Coverage of heritage and archeology in formal education is typically limited. These subjects are typically taught through specific and anecdotal activities that do not respond to a specific methodological foundation. School-museum relationships offer numerous benefits for design participation experiences with long-term perspectives in conducting systematic activities. The collaboration between the museum and school should be considered a maxim for the development of teaching-learning processes of history based on the students'investigation of their own reality and the immediate context of a lived culture using the archaeological heritage. School-Museum Relationships and Teaching Social Sciences in Formal Education paves the way for collaboration between museums and schools as a rule of conduct for the development of teaching and learning processes for the social sciences. This book focuses, from within the field of formal education, on the spaces in which learning takes place (school and archeological museums) to establish proposals for improvement in the teaching and learning of history, taking heritage education as a point of reference and heritage as a teaching resource. Covering topics such as interactive collaborative models, teaching and learning improvement, and the school-museum educational projects, this premier reference source is an excellent resource for museum educators, directors, educators and administrators of both K-12 and higher education, pre-service teachers, teacher educators, government officials, librarians, researchers, and academicians.

CHANGE! A Guide to Teaching Social Action is for faculty, staff, and students who are interested in developing a college course or co-curricular experience using social action. Social action occurs when everyday people band together to develop their power in order to change policy. What distinguishes a social action class from other social change courses is that students are actively involved in enacting a policy change of their choice, thus providing students with a first-hand experience of democracy and power. As part of the social action class, students can start a new campaign, keep a campaign going from the previous semester, reactivate a campaign from a previous year, or join a community campaign.The goal of this book is to train the next generation of democratic citizens and participants. The hope is that if teaching social action is mainstreamed in higher education, students will be able to do democracy more effectively, and help to preserve it at the same time. More specifically, the book provides an overview of the history of college social action, explores what needs to be considered before starting a social action class, explains how students choose their campaigns and launch them, and how students plan, implement, and evaluate their campaigns.

Dans le creuset des nations, de nombreuses questions aux incidences territoriales, politiques, identitaires et culturelles agitent les communautés minoritaires et majoritaires. Comment ces tensions façonnent-elles l'enseignement des sciences sociales, en particulier l'histoire, dans différents contextes nationaux?

A 2023 SPE Outstanding Book Award Winner Social studies education over its hundred-year history has often focused on predominantly white and male narratives. This has not only been detrimental to the increasingly diverse population of the U.S., but it has also meant that social studies as a field of scholarship has systematically excluded and marginalized the voices, teaching, and research of women, scholars of color, queer scholars, and scholars whose politics challenge the dominant traditions of history, geography, economics, and civics education. Insurgent Social Studies intervenes in the field of social studies education by highlighting those whose work has often been deemed “too radical.” Insurgent Social Studies is essential reading to all researchers and practitioners in social studies, and is perfect as an adopted text in the social studies curriculum at Colleges of Education.Perfect for courses such as: Foundations of Education │ Social Studies Methods │ Multicultural Education │ Critical Studies of Education │ Culturally Relevant Pedagogy │ Social Education

El desarrollo sostenible es uno de los grandes desafíos de la actualidad. En una época caracterizada por el cambio climático, la desigualdad, las crisis y la pandemia, es necesario que se produzca un cambio educativo que nos permita transformar la sociedad y abrir nuevos caminos hacia un futuro más sostenible. Desde el ámbito educativo de las ciencias sociales, la geografía es una de las disciplinas que más se han visto afectadas por el auge de las tecnologías digitales. Esto es debido a la disponibilidad de los geomedia, unos recursos electrónicos que usan la geolocalización para transmitir y compartir información. Estos, asimismo, favorecen la participación democrática y ciudadana de los jóvenes, y ello ha llevado a definir la ciudadanía espacial, un concepto que añade un componente espacial a la educación ciudadana, abierto y flexible, que se desvincula de la ciudadanía tradicional al deja la idea de pertenencia a un lugar específico y se adhiere a la noción de pertenencia a múltiples comunidades. Este libro quiere contribuir al avance de la educación para el desarrollo sostenible (EDS) en una sociedad caracterizada por el auge de la información, reflexionando sobre las prácticas adecuadas de EDS, con el objetivo de promover la participación e implicación de los jóvenes en el desarrollo sostenible. El estudio desarrolla un marco teórico que fundamenta el proyecto xploRAcity, una secuencia que tiene el objetivo de abrir los centros educativos al entorno con la finalidad de implicar a los jóvenes en la participación ciudadana a partir del aprendizaje móvil y de la realidad aumentada geo-posicionada.

En este volumen se presenta una compilación de los trabajos presentados en las VI Jornadas de Innovación Docente de la Facultad de Ciencias Sociales: «Respuestas docentes en tiempos complejos: tradición, participación y tecnología para el diálogo de saberes», celebradas en enero del año 2021 en la Universidad Pablo de Olavide. Los capítulos de este libro suponen una aportación, desde la práctica docente universitaria en Ciencias Sociales, de ilustraciones en el uso de herramientas para la formación de ciudadanos y profesionales en unas circunstancias (la pandemia por COVID) que representan un reto para cualquier contexto educativo, a la vez que una gran oportunidad para el diálogo entre saberes y un estímulo para la creatividad. Tras un prólogo reflexivo sobre el papel de la experiencia en la docencia universitaria, a cargo del ponente Juan Daniel Ramírez Garrido, las aportaciones se han agrupado en cinco bloques. En el primero presentamos una instalación tecnológica e institucional de apoyo a la docencia, el recién creado Laboratorio de la Facultad de Ciencias Sociales (FCSLab). El segundo agrupa los trabajos que ponen sobre la mesa del aula universitaria los saberes, identidades y fondos de conocimiento y de identidad del alumnado en servicio o como base de sus procesos de aprendizaje académico. El tercero aborda los esfuerzos realizados para tender puentes entre los conocimientos prácticos y los teóricos. El cuarto bloque muestra experiencias de procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje en los que se explotan las posibilidades del entorno en línea, y se vincula al quinto, en el cual se presentan algunas de estas aplicaciones tal y como se han llevado a cabo en el contexto concreto de la restricción de la participación social a raíz de la pandemia.

Now in its second edition, Inquiry-Based Practice in Social Studies Education: Understanding the Inquiry Design Model presents a conceptual base for shaping the classroom experience through inquiry-based teaching and learning. Using their Inquiry Design Model (IDM), the authors present a field-tested approach for ambitious social studies teaching. They do so by providing a detailed account of inquiry's scholarly roots, as well as the rationale for viewing questions, tasks, and sources as inquiry's foundational elements. Based on work done with classroom teachers, university faculty, and state education department personnel, this book encourages readers to transform classrooms into places where inquiry thrives as everyday practice. The second edition includes a new chapter highlighting three ways that the blueprint acts as an assessment and curriculum system, and includes updated and enhanced references throughout the book.Both pre-service and in-service teachers are sure to learn strategies for developing the reinforcing elements of IDM, from planning inquiries to communicating conclusions and taking informed action. The updated curricular and pedagogical examples included make this practical book essential reading for researchers, students of pre-service and in-service methods courses, and professional development programs.

La docencia universitaria actual debe transmitir al alumnado un profundo conocimiento de la realidad social en cada uno de los campos y disciplinas que aborde y ello es todavía más obligado en las ciencias sociales. Hay que conocer la realidad de manera amplia, crítica y con posibilidad de contribuir a transformarla. Los métodos y las herramientas didácticas se tienen que adecuar a ello, siendo bienvenidas. Bien podemos decir que quienes nos dedicamos a la docencia nos hemos de convertir en arquitectos en la creación de experiencias que acerquen al alumnado a una realidad cada vez más compleja.

En esta obra, tenemos el honor de aunar artículos firmados por autores de universidades e institutos, de varios países y redactados además del español, en inglés y portugués, que manifestaron tanto su deseo como interés de compartir su trabajo con el lector. El denominador común de estos autores es el afán de innovar en la docencia e investigación en sus respectivas líneas de interés lo cual garantiza la adquisición de las competencias necesarias para la formación especializada y el desarrollo de habilidades prácticas. Por ser un libro de varios autores que pertenecen a la disciplina de ciencias sociales y de educación, sería utópico crearse perspectivas en lo que respecta a un escenario o finalización coherente de contenido, o bien imaginar un hilo de Ariadna como aquel que puede aparecer en los libros de varios autores bajo la coordinación de editores. No obstante, el lector puede gozar viajando de un capítulo a otro pudiendo descubrir en cada uno nuevas reflexiones, nuevas preocupaciones, nuevas ideas y en cada uno con su objetivo, método y estrategia, pero compartiendo todos, el mismo fin que es el de hacer aportación a la innovación docente e investigación de las ciencias sociales y de la educación. Igualmente, sería una fructuosa oportunidad de suscitar interés, crear debates y alimentar críticas constructivas.Nos queda por felicitar a los autores por sus trabajos y agradecerles por optar por compartir el fruto de sus enormes horas de trabajo con todos deseando una perpetua fertilidad a la innovación docente e investigación en las ciencias sociales y de la educación.

Teaching controversial issues in the classroom is now more urgent and fraught than ever as we face up to rising authoritarianism, racial and economic injustice, and looming environmental disaster. Despite evidence that teaching controversy is critical, educators often avoid it. How then can we prepare and support teachers to undertake this essential but difficult work? Hard Questions: Learning to Teach Controversial Issues, based on a cross-national qualitative study, examines teacher educators'efforts to prepare preservice teachers for teaching controversial issues that matter for democracy, justice, and human rights. It presents four detailed cases of teacher preparation in three politically divided societies: Northern Ireland, England, and the United States. The book traces graduate students'learning from university coursework into the classrooms where they work to put what they have learned into practice. It explores their application of pedagogical tools and the factors that facilitated or hindered their efforts to teach controversy. The book's cross-national perspective is compelling to a broad and diverse audience, raising critical questions about teaching controversial issues and providing educators, researchers, and policymakers tools to help them fulfill this essential democratic mission of education.

El libro Enseñanza de las ciencias sociales para una ciudadanía democrática aborda una serie de estudios en homenaje a la trayectoria del profesor Ramón López Facal. La obra consta de quince capítulos, en los que participan 25 universidades de cinco países diferentes (Chile, Colombia, Brasil Portugal y España). Estos estudios giran en torno a tres temáticas clave en la actualidad educativa y social: la formación del profesorado para la enseñanza de las ciencias sociales; el planteamiento de temas sociales relevantes en el aula, y las enredadas relaciones entre ciudadanía, nacionalismo e identidades en la enseñanza de la geografía y la historia. Las tres partes de este libro se componen de tres ámbitos académicos representativos de la trayectoria académica de Ramón López Facal y muestran que las taxonomías ocultan, a veces, la complejidad de la simbiosis entre las visiones del mundo y las respuestas educativas. El desarrollo de áreas de conocimiento jóvenes como la Didáctica de las Ciencias Sociales debe mucho al impulso de profesores como Ramón López Facal, quien ha mostrado a lo largo de su trayectoria su capacidad en el liderazgo de equipos, así como en la gestión y ejecución de iniciativas y proyectos académicos e investigadores de excelencia, con un compromiso con la docencia, su renovación y la transmisión social del conocimiento. Todo ello, además, con una clara proyección internacional. Estas características de su labor investigadora, docente, profesional y de gestión han sido ejercidas de forma intensa, continua, responsable y entusiasta, con una nítida conciencia de que la Universidad constituye un servicio público cuya finalidad es lograr el progreso intelectual, moral y económico de la ciudadanía.
