Experimental study on innovative and traditional didactic strategies in the teaching of Social Studies

Abstract

In the different educational spaces, it is common to refer to innovative methodologies and traditional methodologies, especially in the current context where the new teaching is being the spokesman of changes in teaching methodologies that have long been well rooted, particularly in the teaching of the social sciences. However, while the struggle between the innovative and the traditional deepens in the spaces of educational debates, the traditional pedagogical practices in the classroom remain unchanged and, on the other hand, the students -now regardless of the new resources offered to society- they are waiting expectantly for other ways of learning. From this, the present investigation was proposed to investigate the opinion of the students about the innovative and traditional didactic strategies, for this an exploratory experimental design was used and a didactic intervention of ten class sessions was carried out, in order to generate a space of reflection among teachers regarding the challenges of educational innovation.
