La Historia Social de la familia en España y su repercusión en la Didáctica de las Ciencias Sociales

Abstract

Social History in Spain began to develop late, compared to other European countries. Yet, it has achieved a strong relevance, since the last third of the twentieth century. In particular the study of families, in a broad sense, has boomed on various topics: demography, elites, migration, conflict. However, the impact of these historiographical progress has been scarce in the field of Teaching Social Sciences. Experiences and research in Kindergarten Primary and Secondary School, which have fixed their attention on the importance of family, show that it is possible to combine the historical discipline and its teaching successfully. The first family as emotional and educational level of the student teaching has enormous potential that can help foster critical thinking and interest in the historical.
