Competencies and objectives

 

Course context for academic year 2020-21

La asignatura 17216 Didactica del Conocimiento del Medio Social y Cultural se imparte en el 2º curso del Grado en Maestro/a en Educación Infantil; tiene un carácter obligatorio (6C) y se desarrolla durante el segundo cuatrimestre. Es una de las diez asignaturas del Módulo Didáctico y Disciplinar, y se enmarca en la materia “Aprendizaje de las Ciencias de la Naturaleza, de las Ciencias Sociales y de la Matemática”. Está por tanto muy relacionada con otras asignaturas del Grado, en particular, con la Didáctica del Conocimiento del Medio Natural.

A través de esta asignatura se pretende capacitar al futuro profesorado de Educación Infantil para comprender la importancia de la interacción de los niños y niñas con el tiempo y el espacio, con los ambientes socializadores, con el entorno, la cultura y el arte, así como con la diversidad y las emociones en todas sus manifestaciones. En este sentido se facilitarán una serie de herramientas didácticas que contribuirán a favorecer dicha interacción y a disfrutar de un proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje rico en experiencias y recursos.

Se centra, por tanto, en la dimensión social y cultural del entorno de las infancias, identificando las temáticas, estrategias y metodologías que pueden propiciar una socialización adecuada.

La misma se nutre del esfuerzo continuo y colectivo por actualizar tanto los métodos didácticos como los contenidos procedentes de las Ciencias Sociales, entendiendo las mismas como esas gafas que nos permiten mirar y entender la realidad de un modo más amplio y, por tanto, más complejo.
