Abstract

This article presents a qualitative narrative review of theoretical perspectives on the integration of the social sciences into education (2021–2025; academic databases (Dialnet, ERIH/ERIT, Redalyc) and institutional repositories of traceable doctoral theses were consulted; the selection process included removal of duplicates, screening by title/abstract, and full-text review, resulting in a final corpus of n = 12 documents, analyzed through thematic synthesis and theoretical triangulation. Results: Four core themes were identified: (1) epistemological foundations based on transdisciplinarity and complexity; (2) curricular integration and didactic mediations oriented toward situated curriculum; (3) the teaching role and institutional conditions (collaboration and networks); and (4) inclusion, territory, and ethical-digital challenges, with persistent gaps in operationalization and evaluation. The literature agrees on the relevance of integrating knowledge for complex phenomena, but reveals tensions between conceptual consensus and a lack of comparable evidence. There is a need to clarify operational definitions, design criteria and instruments for evaluating integration, and strengthen institutional conditions for sustainable implementation
