Coeducation as a perspective for History teaching in Secondary Compulsory Education

Abstract

The objective of this article is to analyze the coeducational perspective of three teaching innovation proposals: Athens, the origin of democracy, The loves of my life and Women and Industrial Revolution. The three proposals are oriented to different levels of Secondary Compulsory Education in the field of social sciences teaching. To do so, we have carried out two analysis procedures, one associated with the materials themselves and the other, with their implementation. The analysis of the materials has been done through content analysis, while the application has been made from the analysis of field notes extracted through non-participant observation. From this analysis, it is possible to state that both, the units and their implementation, put into practice several dimensions of coeducational perspective, although its exploitation in educational practice is conditioned by teaching action. In this sense, it would be necessary to the didactic designs as well as in initial and continuous teacher's training programs.
