Social studies - Buenas Noches a Todos :) Translation needed
I'm currently teaching a basic Spanish class to 3rd graders and we're working on a journal entry entitled (todo acerca de mi) all about me- and I need to know what the translation of "social studies" is. If anyone knows that would be greatly appreciated. Gracias por su ayuda.

Welcome Alyssa,
I don't have a definitive answer for you, but aren't social studies mostly concerned with history? You might want to just use 'historia'. Para los demás, si no me traiciona la memoria, 'social studies' es una materia en la escuela que se trata de la historia a nivel nacional, estatal, local y también engloba otras cosas que tienen que ver con el estudio de la sociedad, como por ejemplo: cómo ser un buen ciudadano, estereotipos, culturas, cómo pensar, cómo solucionar problemas, comparación de culturas, valores, ideas, morales. etc. Si no me explico bien, es porque no tengo un buen entendimiento del concepto ...

I would say Sociología but more context is needed to be sure.

Sociology is very analytical. It can called a science. Social Studies is more related to history but on a social level. For instance: The history of the civil rights movement is a social studies subject.. I also would be interested in finding out if there is an equivalent in Spanish.

For what it's worth, it appears that Tomísimo's answer - estudios sociales - is used quite a bit on the internet, especially in this hemisphere.

Social Science
The California Department of Education defines Social Science for elementary level schools as historia-ciencias sociales. You can go to www.cde.ca.gov/mulitlingual documents.

After thinking about it, for lack of a better term, I'd probably translate social studies as "estudios del medio social y cultural en un contexto histórico". Es muy largo, pero creo que se tiene que explicar qué es, a menos que haya un término específico que desconozco.
También lo que dice Iblanco es una buena opción.

Existen varios términos: Estudios sociales, Sociología, Ciencias sociales.
En escuela secundaria se estudia Sociales. Hay Instituto de Ciencias Sociales... etc. Incluso, relacionado con el asunto: Estudios culturales. Depende de lo que Amangu00 quiera decir.
