Interdisciplinary Teaching Strategy for Social Sciences in Primary Education: A Theoretical Proposal with Immersive Virtual Learning Projections
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: This theoretical article proposes an interdisciplinary teaching strategy for Social Sciences in Primary Education, aimed at transforming traditional pedagogical practices. It integrates critical pedagogy, the competency-based approach, and immersive technologies such as virtual reality and metaverse.Methods:A qualitative, exploratory and propositional approach was adopted. A document-based literature review was conducted using recent studies on immersive learning, interdisciplinary pedagogy, and digital education. The data were analyzed through a comparative and integrative synthesis to design the strategy and assess its alignment with contemporary pedagogical demands.Results:Four key dimensions emerged: (1) the conception of an interdisciplinary teaching strategy; (2) the identification of guiding pedagogical principles; (3) the articulation between critical pedagogy and the competency-based approach; and (4) the projection of the strategy toward immersive virtual learning environments. These elements form a pedagogical model capable of promoting critical thinking, social responsibility, and meaningful learning experiences.Conclusions:The proposed strategy offers a relevant and adaptable pedagogical framework that aligns with 21st-century educational challenges. Although empirical validation has not yet been performed, this theoretical foundation may guide future pilot implementations, expert evaluations, and the development of digital instructional designs.
