MARTINEZ, Juan Carlos Bel  and  RUBIO, Juan Carlos Colomer. RESEARCH THEORY AND METHODOLOGY ON TEXTBOOKS: DIDACTIC ANALYSIS OF ACTIVITIES, PICTURES AND DIGITAL RESOURCES IN SOCIAL SCIENCES EDUCATION. Rev. Bras. Educ. [online]. 2018, vol.23, e230082.  Epub Nov 23, 2018. ISSN 1809-449X.  https://doi.org/10.1590/s1413-24782018230082.

Didactic materials in any format, especially Social Sciences textbooks - Geography and History -, have been historically constituted as a central resource in the classroom for this discipline. In this study we propose its theoretical evolution as a research problem in Social Sciences (in the Spanish context) in terms of content, use and diffusion, to propose a methodology of textbooks analysis based on the study of activities and pictures linked to the cognitive complexity demanded in them. The conclusions insist on the role of textbooks as a central component of school culture in Spain and Ibero-America that requires a specific research methodology for its necessary transformation into a useful element for teaching.

Keywords : textbooks; History teaching; Geography teaching; didactics; methodology.
