Conficto social colombiano: Representación en textos escolares de ciencias sociales

Abstract

The research aimed to understand the social conflict that exists in Colombia based on the content of 33 textbooks of social science from the primary education level, which were published between 2003-2013. The methodology of content analysis was used to give meaning to the messages of the conflict that were taught through the discursive content, activities and iconography of the books. As a result, the analysis revealed the violent situation of the country, which has evolved as a social conflict with political and armed influence by involving guerrillas against victims, society and state.
