How to think about a social science teaching project in order to avoid semantic traps

Abstract

This review presents an innovative didactic project for teaching Social Sciences based on the reflection on political and social concepts. The results are specified in three books for teachers, with practical proposals to take to the classroom. In this Project, directed by Aurora Rivière, Doctor in History and professor at the Faculty of Education of the Complutense University of Madrid, a team of university and secondary education teachers have worked for four years. This text reviews the main objectives and references of the project, among which Koselleck and Skinner stand out; reflects on the relevance of the proposal and confirms its proximity to the postulates of a critical didactics; presents the books produced by the team involved, and closes with a brief final reflection.
