Conflictos armados y su tratamiento en educación. Análisis de la producción científica de los últimos 25 años en la Web of Science

Abstract

In this work, a bibliometric review is carried out on studies that deal with the treatment of politically-motivated armed conflicts in education, with the aim of obtaining an outline of what is currently being done on the international scene. To this end, a search and analysis of studies associated with the teaching of social sciences and citizenship education in Web of Science (WOS) has been undertaken. The final sample, comprising 128 studies, denotes a growth in research on the subject in recent years and the use of multiple methodologies and approaches. It also presents a rich panorama in terms of conflict scenarios and issues addressed. Finally, it points out the usefulness of bringing these issues into the classroom in order to promote the peaceful coexistence and reconciliation in societies affected by violent conflicts.
