español term
Conocimiento del entorno
español al inglés
Ciencias sociales
Educación / Pedagogía
Teaching methods
SPAIN. Name of a school subject / learning unit in Early Childhood Education (kindergarten/pre-school age). The names of things change quickly in education (A teacher friend informs that Conocimiento del Medio is what we used to call simply "Science") so I'm not sure what is the best way to render it nowadays. I'd be interested in both UK and US terms, or from anywhere else in the English-speaking world.
"Conocimiento del entorno:
Con esta área de conocimiento y experiencia se pretende favorecer en el alumnado el proceso
de descubrimiento y representación de los diferentes contextos que componen el entorno infantil,
así como facilitar su inserción en ellos, de manera reflexiva y participativa. Los contenidos
de esta área adquieren sentido desde la complementariedad con el resto de las áreas, y habrán
de interpretarse en las propuestas didácticas desde la globalidad de la acción y de los aprendizajes.
Así por ejemplo, el entorno no puede ser comprendido sin la utilización de los diferentes
lenguajes, de la misma manera la realización de desplazamientos orientados ha de hacerse desde
el conocimiento del propio cuerpo y de su ubicación espacial."

Social sciences
Usually taught to young primary children, this subject pretty much covers anything from history, geography, science and nature, and anything related to the environment in general.
At this young age, kids aren't usually taught all of these things seperately but touch on all of them in one subject.
I'd call it social sciences in English, but there may be other alternatives.

Probably better in singular: social science

: It's so vague and wide ranging you could call it almost anything, but this is a good idea.

Knowledge of the world
Conocimiento del medio is a mish mash of Science, Geography and History. In the British system they are regarded as separate subjects. Knowledge of the World is what we used in the BRitish Council Bilingual Project.

I have just checked the BC curriculum. It called Conocimiento del Medio in infants "Knowledge and Understanding of the World"

Look at this, Neil. This is from a UK curriculum for the foundation stage.

I think this term is much closer to the concept in "educación infantil" in Spain.

Social science is something for little ones too though! But yes, I think K&U is the term neilmac is after
This is not a question of getting points, just about what is a suitable translation!
