Research into Canarian rock art, Libyco-Berber inscriptions, and the colonization of the Canary Islands-within the North African context-has presented several problems since the emergence of Canarian archeology in the nineteenth century. This paper analyzes the evolution of research into Canarian rock art and Libyco-Berber inscriptions from a historical and diachronic perspective and develops a thesis concerning the origin of the Libyco-Berber script based on new discoveries of inscriptions on the Canary Islands as well as in Morocco. In light of this new thesis, we propose a diachronic hypothesis for the ancient colonization of the Canary Islands.Résumé La recherche sur l'art rupestre, les inscriptions libyco-berbères et la colonisation des Îles Canaries, dans le contexte nord-africain, présente de nombreux problèmes dès les débuts de l'archéologie canarienne dans le xixe siècle. L'article examine donc l'évolution des recherches sur les figurations rupestres et sur les inscriptions libyco-berbères des Îles Canaries dans une perspective historique et diachronique, et développe une nouvelle thèse concernant l'origine de l'écriture Afr Archaeol Rev (2010) 27:13-41
El análisis de los libros de texto de la educación obligatoria, desde la Didáctica de las Ciencias Sociales, es una corriente que se ha ido consolidando en España en las últimas décadas. Este monográfico se inserta en esta línea de investigación, en particular en la temática del patrimonio cultural y el género. El volumen cuenta con siete capítulos en los que participan profesores/as de seis universidades españolas, vinculados a los principales grupos de investigación en el campo de la manualística. Teniendo en cuenta que el patrimonio cultural y la igualdad de género se deben enseñar desde la educación reglada, tal y como se propone en los currículos de Primaria y Secundaria, y siendo conscientes de sus potencialidades educativas, este libro persigue valorar el tratamiento didáctico que la educación patrimonial y el género reciben en los libros de texto de Ciencias Sociales y de Geografía e Historia. De forma paralela, se cuestiona si el objetivo implícito de estos materiales didácticos es el conocimiento del patrimonio o si se persigue igualmente que el alumnado lo comprenda y valore; si los manuales permiten que los discentes entablen relaciones de identidad con su patrimonio inmediato, es decir, que lo sientan como propio. También se reflexiona sobre si el patrimonio cultural y la Historia que se abordan en la educación obligatoria pueden contribuir al desarrollo de una identidad que esté relacionada con la evolución histórica autonómica y nacional, así como con la conciencia sobre el discurso de género. En suma, estamos ante un volumen que persigue valorar qué conciencia histórica, patrimonial e identitaria se está creando entre el alumnado en una etapa fundamental como la de la escolarización obligatoria, a partir del uso del libro de texto.
In the following paper, we present some general results of an innovative teaching experience carried out by the University of La Laguna (ULL) and the University of Barcelona (UB). The project took place during a 6-week period by applying for cooperative work among early childhood (n = 109) and primary (n = 86) education trainee teachers in a selected virtual environment (ULL). One of the key aspects was the inter-university student’s grouping among both bachelor programs (early childhood and primary). The project had two main aims, which are as follows: (1) to familiarize students with heritage itineraries as key tools for the teaching of Social Sciences and (2) to develop professional competencies related to the coordination of teachers among educational levels, teaching, and learning strategies when using historical heritage and improving digital competencies. To achieve these aims, a three-phase intervention was designed (planning, design, and evaluation), all including active learning and the use of local environments as a teaching resource. To investigate the outcomes of the project, two sources of data were analyzed, namely, the results of a rubric and an opinion questionnaire (Cronbach’s α = 0.693), applied pre- (n = 185), and post- (n = 152) intervention. The descriptive statistical analysis was carried out with the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS; v. 22) showing the positive learning outcomes of the participants. The rubric’s results showed that collaborative work and skills development scored higher, while contents of Social Sciences and the handling of heritage itineraries as teaching strategies were correct but lower than the other parameters analyzed. The questionnaire showed a positive perception of working together in consecutive educational levels and of the uses of digital technology for collaborative work but also indicated some difficulties regarding group organization, especially in the first weeks. The main results of the project highlight several aspects. (1) The need to apply pedagogical, technological, and educational resources to promote active and meaningful learning in future teachers. (2) The need to use virtual environments as learning and communication spaces in inter-university contexts, and (3) the importance of using local environments as scenarios for teaching Social Sciences.
En este artículo analizamos el tratamiento didáctico que recibe el patrimonio arqueológico canario de la etapa indígena en los libros de texto de Ciencias Sociales de Primaria de Canarias, con un especial foco de atención en la representación de género. A partir de un análisis cualitativo y cuantitativo, centrado en los libros de texto de cuatro editoriales, en el marco de la LOMCE, nuestra investigación analiza qué se considera patrimonio arqueológico en la enseñanza, cómo y qué se enseña, y cuál es el rol de las mujeres en el contenido educativo y en el hecho histórico. Los resultados obtenidos reflejan la reproducción de miradas eurocéntricas, la inexistencia de una definición explícita de los vestigios arqueológicos y, por tanto, del propio concepto de patrimonio, así como el predominio de la hegemonía cultural androcéntrica. Esta realidad presenta claras afinidades con la constatada en otros estudios afines del estado español. In this article we analyze the didactic approach for the Canarian archaeological heritage from the indigenous period within the Primary textbooks of Social Sciences in the Canary Islands, paying also attention to the representation of gender. From a qualitative and quantitative approach, focused on the textbooks from four different publishers, and within the framework of LOMCE, our research analyzes what is considered archaeological heritage in teaching, how and what is taught, and what is the role of women in the historic fact and in the educational content. The main results show the predominance of the androcentric cultural hegemony, the reproduction of Eurocentric views, the absence of an explicit definition for the archaeological remains and, therefore, for the concept of heritage. This panorama presents clear affinities with the one documented in other parts of Spain.
