How we train for the development of citizen and productive capacities in the National Plan of Teacher Training from the Social Sciences?

Abstract

This paper summarizes the main concerns and ideas emerged from the discussions and dialogue between specialists and experts of social sciences of the National Plan of Teacher Training Service. This process has been marked by the construction of a pedagogical, methodological approach and curriculum development from the perspective of citizens and productive capacities. Capacities are potentialities of the person, which are formed from the articulation of skills, knowledge, skills and ways of being, which can be faced with complex situations presented in daily life in all its dimensions. This approach involves overcoming a fragmented curriculum and focused exclusively on the transmission of disciplinary knowledge. This rethinking of the task of the social sciences involves answering the why, what and how we intend to teach and learn these disciplines.
