Abstract

The study addresses the teaching methods of the Social Studies teacher in the fourth year of General Basic Education in an educational institution in Quito, because it was observed an excess use of the expository method of the teacher, where he develops the class continuously without any explanation of the milestones, which means that students do not participate actively in class, but are distracted in other activities for which the teacher intervenes by asking questions about the subject so that students regain attention in class symbolizing traditional classes. The objective was to compare the teaching methods used by the teacher for the teaching and learning process in the subject of Social Studies in the fourth year of General Basic Education. In order to carry out the research, a qualitative approach methodology was used through a case analysis. In addition, research methods such as documentary and action research are applied.
