Innovative practices in teaching social sciences and humanities as the basis of modern pedagogical discourse

Abstract

Innovation in education is of paramount importance, as it facilitates the continual enhancement of educational content value and quality. This article aims to present the implementation of an "innovative environment" within university education as a significant element of pedagogical discourse. It remains pertinent to explore strategies for incorporating innovative practices into the teaching of social sciences and humanities within the realm of higher education. The primary objective of this study is to ascertain the effectiveness of innovative practices in the instruction of social sciences and humanities, while also determining students' perceptions regarding the necessity of integrating innovative practices, resources, and instructional techniques within the modern educational process. Given the nature of the study's objective, an integrated approach to methodology is required. The primary methodology employed in this study is the pedagogical experiment. Additionally, the research utilized methods such as questioning, observation, and the descriptive approach. The principal hypothesis posits that incorporating disciplines with social and humanitarian content that actively employ innovative practices is imperative for the education and training of professionals across various fields. The inclusion of such practices is expected to enhance the quality of education by fostering motivation to learn, facilitating career advancement, and improving the overall efficiency of the educational process, among other outcomes. The findings of this study provide evidence supporting the value of innovative practices in teaching humanities disciplines, serving as a foundation for pedagogical discourse within university education. Furthermore, the integration of innovative approaches in the instruction of social sciences and humanities establishes the groundwork for future reflection and the development of pedagogical tools, facilitating the successful application of acquired knowledge in practical contexts.
