Introduction
Social Sciences education aims to provide students with elementary knowledge and tools to locate in the environment where they live, to learn to live in it, and to respect and improve it. The concept that gives name to the area refers to the set of situations, events, objects, elements and issues that make up the natural and humanized landscape where people live and interact with nature as a way of approaching the study of social reality. The area focuses on providing primary students with the tools to pass from the culture experienced toward its intellectual reconstruction. The subject aims to enable primary students to understand and make decisions on aspects of the environment with which it interacts. Learning must be contextualized and oriented to interpret experiences, direct and indirect, coming in time and space, and significant in order to establish cognitive and affective relationships.
