Abstract

Education in Social Sciences in the sixties and seventies was characterized by "memorizing endless lists of unconnected names, dates, insubstantial anecdotes, repeating the names of the geographic features of Colombia and the international field"; in front of it, it was necessary to know precise data like the capitals and the currency of the countries; and a number of events that were presented without any analysis where the heroes endowed with extraordinary virtues, performed great feats being the important and visible actors in the stories.

In this educational scheme, teachers have the role of investigating, storing and transmitting knowledge, while students have the role of uncritical consumers
