Circulación del discurso arqueológico en las escuelas de Tandil, provincia de Buenos Aires. Contenidos, recursos didácticos y demandas docentes

In this article, we propose to reflect on the contents, teaching materials and demands that circulate concerning the use of knowledge about the local-regional Indigenous past and present and its relationship with Archeology in the schools of Tandil, province of Buenos Aires. Intertwined with other strategies and lines of research carried out locally, we seek to build a diagnosis on the circulation and resignification of knowledge about the Indigenous past to project lines of action and public communication in the local community. On this occasion, we analyzed provincial Curriculum Designs for Secondary Education, interviewed teachers from public and private institutions, and investigated the availability of resources in school libraries. Overall, we observe little knowledge about the local and regional indigenous past and no school and academic materials to address these topics in the classrooms. Also, according to the results, we highlight that the archaeological discipline is not understood as related to studying the Indigenous past and present of this particular place.
