Museos y formación del pensamiento social en educación primaria: una propuesta de intervención didáctica

Abstract

Currently, one of the main purposes of the teaching and learning social sciences is to develop the formation of social and critical thinking amongst students, that wich is necessary to work with social problems. However, museums, known as non-formal educational resources for teaching social sciences generally do not develop didactic models from the critical view of teaching, in the majority of analyzed cases, apply methodologies that foster student participation, beyond that on an attentive yet silent audience. This implies that the construction of knowledge allows you to achieve significant learnings, if done correctly. This research aims to analyze how the educational services of the main museus in Barcelona work and evaluate the vision of their managers concernint the importance of heritage education within the process of teaching and learning Social Sciences. This research proposes a model of educational intervention, based on group of primary education, in a specific museum through solving a relevant social problem.
