Resumen

A partir de un diseño pre-experimental de corte prospectivo transversal, se analizan las percepciones del futuro profesorado iberoame-ricano de ciencias sociales (n = 263) sobre la pertinencia curricular de los temas controvertidos y problemas sociales. Pretende identificar la existencia de relaciones de interdependencia entre la intervención en el entorno social, y el desarrollo del pensamiento crítico y creativo como una finalidad educativa. Se aplicó la Escala de Interés por las Prácticas Docentes Innovadoras (Santos et al., 2017), completada ad hoccon aspectos específicos vinculados con los temas controvertidos y los problemas sociales. Los resultados obtenidos informan de valores estadísticamente significativos más altos y un tamaño de efecto moderado en las mujeres sobre la conveniencia de enseñar a participar e intervenir en el entorno social del alumnado. La edad parece afectar al interés específico sobre la promoción de habilidades de pensa-miento social, el espíritu emprendedor y el aprendizaje autónomo. De acuerdo con estos resultados, los planes de formación habrían de proporcionar el conocimiento pedagógico y sustantivo necesario para trabajar la diversidad de interpretaciones y la perspectiva múltiple en la educación en estudios sociales.
