Este artículo presenta un estudio exploratorio de las prácticas docentes en la asignatura Historia, Geografía y Ciencias Sociales, de cuatro profesores en escuelas con alta matrícula inmigrante de la comuna de Santiago. El propósito de la investigación fue conocer las respuestas docentes al desafío de enseñar a estudiantes cuyos referentes culturales e historias nacionales son diversos. Se aplicó una metodología cualitativa con enfoque Grounded Theory para generar conocimiento desde las prácticas mismas. Los resultados indican que los docentes aplican fundamentalmente dos estrategias: (1) la comparación entre las características del mismo hecho, proceso histórico o tema en Chile y en los países de origen de los alumnos inmigrantes, y (2) el uso de analogías entre las experiencias de los alumnos inmigrantes y los contenidos obligatorios de la asignatura. Dichas estrategias concuerdan con algunos principios de un enfoque intercultural de la enseñanza, pero coexisten con explicaciones relacionadas con un concepto esencialista de la identidad nacional y narrativas de superioridad cultural. Los hallazgos orientan acerca de los énfasis que debieran tener futuros programas de acompañamiento y formación continua, que ayuden a mejorar las prácticas que los profesores ya están impulsando, y a profundizar el concepto de interculturalidad en la enseñanza de la asignatura.
The objective of this research is to characterise classroom teaching practices that promote citizenship education by history teachers who were rated as outstanding (maximum) in the Chilean Teacher Evaluation System. Following an interpretive approach and using methods of data collection and analysis from grounded theory, the recordings of 45 teachers’ classes, equivalent to 30 chronological hours, were analysed. Results indicate that although practices favouring citizenship education cannot be classified all the same way, common elements can be observed that promote learning in this field. These were classified into two main levels: a permanent one that manifested in a similar manner among the observed teachers (willingness to educate citizens, generation of an open classroom environment, and monitoring learning through classroom interaction) and a variable one that presented different features among participants (inclusion of citizenship topics and implementation of multiple learning activities). These results aim to disseminate with concrete examples what is being done well in real educational contexts so that actors in different schools, universities and academic systems can incorporate it into their professional work and promote it within their area of action.
