Presentation and project justification

The history of Social Sciences - understood here as Anthropology, Political Science and Sociology - is a theme that has been present in the research agenda of several intellectuals. In Brazil, the subject is recognized in Sociology books published in the 1950s and in the first academic congresses in the area. However, reflection on the history of Education in relation to the teaching of Social Sciences has undergone a different course. In the 1930s and 1940s, the teaching of Social Sciences, especially Sociology, received some attention from researchers because it was present in junior high schools between 1925 and 1942, and because of the importance given to Sociology for the formation of the nation. Although we cannot say that this discussion was absent in the 1970s and 1980s, it is undeniable that it was only with the mandatory reintroduction of Sociology throughout Brazilian secondary education, in 2008, that we will consistently observe a resurgence of debates on the History of teaching of Social Sciences.

Recent bibliographic surveys, whether those that consider the production of theses and dissertations on the subject, or those focused on the publication of academic articles, point to a growing volume of works on the subject, with discussions on the presence of Social Sciences gaining prominence in Basic Education, including the history of how the subject is taught.

Although the area's production has been marked by a profusion of experience reports, as well as the dissemination of inaccurate information in historiographic terms, more recent research tends to use more refined sources and research tools in dialogue with the field of History of Education itself, unveiling new elements in the discussion of Social Sciences history in Brazil and in other countries.

In the midst of a context of reconfiguration of Social Sciences in the school curriculum, to revisit its history proves to be a fundamental action to understand its genesis, founding elements and developments in contemporary times.

Expected contributions profile

Considering the different research groups that have focused on this debate, a theoretical-methodological plurality of proposals is expected, which should represent wide international, national and regional diversity involving the teaching of Social Sciences. We highlight below the thematic axes that fit the proposal for this dossier:

- History of education and the teaching of Social Sciences;

- History of the teaching of Social Sciences in Higher Education;

- History of education and qualification of Social Sciences teachers;

- History of education and bibliographic production on the teaching of Social Sciences;

- History of education and the teaching of Social Sciences in a comparative way;

- History of Social Science textbooks;

- History of education and the trajectory of agents (teachers) in the field of Social Sciences;

- History of education and the curriculum of teaching Social Sciences;

- History of social sciences and research sources.

Deadlines

  1. Public notice release: 2023/04/04.

  4. Articles must be original and unpublished, and their simultaneous presentation in another journal is not allowed. Each author can only submit a single text for this call.

Proponents

  1. Proponents must be professors and researchers from national or foreign higher education institutions who have distinguished academic competence in the thematic area on which the dossier deals, and have their Lattes curricula updated, as well as the ORCID registration.
  2. The person responsible for posting the article must include as a Supplementary Document (the item will appear during the submission process): cover page with: title of the work and complete data of all authors in the following order: name, complete institutional affiliation (in full and acronym), degree of education, city, state, e-mail, short CV and ORCID.
  3. Submission of articles by dossier proponents is prohibited.

The process of evaluating and reviewing articles

The articles will individually go through the following evaluation process:

  • Analysis regarding structure: in this phase, the articles will be submitted to the dossier organizers for reading and evaluated as to their adequacy to the general criteria of the Revista Brasileira de História da Educação. The submission guidelines are available at: http://periodicos.uem.br/ojs/index.php/rbhe/about/submissions. If they do not meet the necessary requirements, articles will be rejected by the organizers if:
  1. They are configured solely as a bibliographical reviews, or as an excerpt from a dissertation or thesis, without proper adaptation;
  1. They do not present an in-depth analysis of the theme they intend to discuss;
  2. They have errors of writing and textual structure.
  3. They are merely descriptive and do not present an analysis of the problem addressed;
  4. They do not correspond to the scientific article genre.
  5. They do not comply with the guidelines of the Revista Brasileira de História da Educação, available at: http://periodicos.uem.br/ojs/index.php/rbhe/about/submissions.

Blind peer review on merit and final decision by the editor

In this second phase, the journal forwards the article, without identifying the author, for evaluation by two reviewers from the thematic area. Reviewers can fully accept the article, request reformulations or reject it. These decisions are made through descriptive analytical opinions. In order for the editor to issue the final opinion, at least two opinions are required. When one or two evaluators request a reformulation, the article returns to the author so that they can carry out the reformulations. When the author resubmits the reformulated text, it is reassessed again, moving on to the final stage. In this last step, the responsible editors (organizers) can approve or reject the submission.

Review and adequacy of the work to the RBHE standards:

Once approved, the article undergoes a language review and standardization. If necessary, the article is sent to the author for corrections and adaptations, to finally be diagrammed and forwarded for publication.

Articles that will compose the dossier [Item rectified on 04/13/2023: changes indicated in italics]

The dossier will include a diversity of authors, institutions and regions in the country and abroad. It will consist of six articles. The texts that are approved in the process and that, perhaps, do not concord with the dossier, may be submitted in the continuous flow of the journal, if the author is interested.

*The original wording considered that texts in this situation could be sent directly to the continuous flow.

The internationalization policy

Mandatorily, 50% of the articles (three articles) will be by authors affiliated with foreign institutions. All of the articles must be translated into English, with the translation being paid by the authors. Only translations accompanied by the declaration of execution by the responsible professional will be accepted, who must have academic training in the area of Languages/Translation.
