Nowa norweska reforma programów nauczania (LK 20) zakłada powrót do nauczania zorientowanego na zrozumienie i pogłębione uczenie się z naciskiem na teorie i koncepcje przedmiotów. Nie jest jednak jasne, w jaki sposób można osiągnąć pogłębione uczenie się w edukacji i w jaki sposób można osiągnąć głębsze zrozumienie i postęp w naukach społecznych. Problem ten, opisany jako brak postępu lub wzrostu wiedzy w naukach społecznych, może być, według Bereitera i Scardamalii, przezwyciężony przez podejście, które kładzie nacisk na budowanie wiedzy jako rozwój teorii w edukacji. Bazując na realizmie społecznym, w niniejszym artykule omówiono, które formy budowania wiedzy i postępu są możliwe do osiągnięcia w dziedzinie nauk społecznych.

The new Norwegian curricular reform (LK 20) implies a return to comprehension-oriented teaching and in-depth learning with focus on the theories and concepts of the subjects. However, it is not clear how in-depth learning can be achieved in education, and in which way a deeper understanding and progression can be realized in the social sciences. This problem, described as a lack of progression or knowledge growth in the social sciences, can, according to Bereiter and Scardamalia, be overcome, by an approach that emphasizes knowledge building as theory development in education. Based on social realism, this paper discusses which forms of knowledge building and progression that are possible in the subject of social sciences.
