HERNANDEZ CERVANTES, Lorenia  and  PAGES BLANCH, Joan. How Are History and Social Science Taught in Preschool?. RMIE [online]. 2016, vol.21, n.68, pp.119-140. ISSN 1405-6666.

This article analyzes the social representations of a group of undergraduate students in preschool education, regarding the methodology for teaching social science. The analysis is centered on these students' conceptions of: a) the way children learn, and b) the way social science is taught. The results show why methodology is valued more, during initial professional training, than the objectives, contents, and goals of teaching social science and history.

Keywords : teacher education; teaching social science; didactic strategies; preschool education; Mexico.
