Abstract

The article exposes the perceptions that both students and teachers of Social Sciences of four Educational Institutions of the city of Cali have of the didactic practices. From the contrast of perceptions, it is intended to analyze the impact that didactic practices may have on the interest in the area and its potential relevance in the formation of social and historical thought in the student. The method used was the mixed one, the samples were collected from two surveys, one applied to 10 teachers and another to 661 6th, 9th, and 11th grade students in the four educational institutions. The text concludes that teaching focused on the transmission of content is a promoter of disinterest and that it is necessary to take advantage of the methods of social and historical research to move towards teaching methodologies that promote the mobilization of social and historical thought.
