Teaching Social Studies and Literature (Volume 1): Theoretical Methodological Foundations for Research Innovation in Subject-Specific Pedagogy

This handbook offers an integrated and transdisciplinary framework for understanding educational research and innovation from a procedural, systematic, and ethical perspective, aimed at improving teaching and learning processes. It examines the objectives, lines of research, and challenges of Social Science Pedagogy and Literature Pedagogy in Early Childhood Education, Elementary School, Compulsory Secondary Education, and High School. In Social Sciences Education, it prioritizes education for democratic citizenship, the development of social (critical and creative) and historical thinking, inclusion, sustainability, and critical digital literacy. In literary education, it addresses teacher mediation, the selection and diversity of reading materials, reading pathways, the school canon, reading autonomy, and multimodal textualities. Furthermore, the text delves into the transdisciplinary teaching of controversial topics and socio-scientific problems by proposing activities for analyzing experiences, designing evidence-based innovations, and creating literary spaces aimed at fostering critical dialogue.
