1) Little or no formal training in social science courses. Reduced hours in school materials such as Geography and History, is passing the bill to a youth who know little of their region, country, continent and planet. Moreover, the changes engendered in recent years in both areas, whether from the field of archeology, sociology, history, physical and social geography, demand ongoing teacher training and updating books and virtual texts.
2) The education received in this area is quite insufficient, taking into account the above reason. In addition, contempt and often go to these courses (courses filling) has addresses many schools in the country have placed teachers in other subjects in the teaching of these subjects. It is known that many teachers hired specialists in areas such as Language, Religion, Science, Mathematics and even Physical Education, these courses are assigned to complete his workload.
3) Given the above, many people interesadas en estos temas desestiman seguir estas especializaciones por verlas, en efecto, como poco rentables y pocas posibilidades laborales. En mi vida como docente, me he topado con esta realidad; además he visto a diversas personas de sólida formación en estas áreas, pero con poca formación de metodologías de la enseñanza, trabajando en el dictado de clases con estrategias que muchas veces no eran las adecuadas para los niños, adolescentes e incluso jóvenes (universidad) y generaban repercusiones negativas sobre la percepción de los contenidos de estos nobles cursos.
4) Los currículos universitarios, cada vez más centrados en un raro sentido de productividad (cual institutos), han been gradually discarding these courses to see them "very profitable." Just look at the curricula of the faculties of all universities in our country to observe the disappearance of these courses, therefore, attached to the problem of school education, university student has little or no knowledge of their social and space entelechy physical. The topics discussed in class for book in my language course show a hopeless ignorance of recent historical events like the Fujimori case, the first government of Alan Garcia, Shining Path and a more remote as the War with Chile. The most pathetic case is that of a student in a class of our university have met with much surprise that there was ever a war with Chile. Worse is the idea that the world (and here I disagree with religious dogma) was created in 7 days, the product of a discussion in class was a theme expressed by a teacher. I know it must respect the religious beliefs, but assert that the world took only 7 days of 24 hours in its creation becomes alarming historical and geographical education of our youth. Fencing dogmatic issues as scientific topics in a college education becomes dangerous and involve all members of an educational institution in a fundamentalist atmosphere, is of economic thought, political, cultural or religious. Worse Moreover, if what you want from them is to make conscious and responsible leaders of their society and their physical environment, known as the environment. I say this, because essentially economic and political cutting are accompanying us in these days on a single truth "democratic" and do not tolerate divergent thinking.
5) The knowledge of reality demands of each and every one of his actors a different reading, with perspectives that often can (and should) be different from the dominant, and that these alternatives can be better human beings criteria for future decisions. Interestingly the decline (though pale) of such teaching "For excellence" in many American universities that had avocado in "train" their ports to be professional "success" with little formal education in the humanities and are now authors, not yet sanctioned the economic debacle of 2008. Economic luminaries, but with minimal ethical or social responsibility for their environment. It is ironic that their resumes have been "makeup" with the inclusion of some discarded by unprofitable courses such as ethics, history or other, to repair the damage created mankind. If there is someone there to complain about the economic bumps today are these houses of study, which (and here's what bad) are educational paradigms. Still have the gall to offer diverse studies at very high prices for students who want to be "successful."
6) The accreditation to aspiring universities (now goes to the schools as well) requires a curriculum with the return of many training courses in humanities and social sciences in order to form a spirit, in theory, more critical, supportive, committed with their world and with himself (as the student is not a satellite or a social exogenous). But be careful that the space is a genuine democratic discussion, training responsible and committed to others: we have a serious social crisis looming and a deterioration of the natural quality of the planet, then why does not warrant such blunt variables rethink things or continue as islands in your society? Just enough to see the curricula of universities in our society and have a picture of what comes in five years.
