Descripción:Defining the epistemological status of the didactic discipline entails a series of problems that intensify when specific didactics is referred to, even more when it works with the knowledge generated by the social sciences, of whose disciplines its category has been questioned many times of science. In this text, it is exposed how the historian and didact Joaquín Prats addresses the epistemological problem in the didactics of the social sciences, using for this the theory of science elaborated by the philosopher Mario Bunge, from which he justifies the category of said discipline as science. In this way, he argues the relevance of the rigorous application of the scientific method and of the methodological particularities that the discipline requires. Finally, it is exposed how Prats takes his scientific position to the teaching of history, as a formula to generate criteria in students about historical phenomena.
