What is DHIGECS-COM?

The consolidated research group DHIGECS-COM (Didactics of History, Geography and other Social Sciences – Communication) develops its field of study in the discipline of social sciences – especially focusing on the field of education, communication and media, and heritage – seeking a transfer of this knowledge to society.

The composition of this research group is plural, transdisciplinary and inter-institutional.
The researchers who make up DHIGECS-COM come from different interrelated disciplines, converging with active education professionals. In fact, the DHIGECS group was originally born in 2002, dedicating its initial research to the teaching of social sciences and heritage.

Over time, however, he organically integrated different aspects of communication and media, edu-communication and information literacy into his research. As a result, the structure of the group has been strengthened in its interdisciplinary links, giving rise to the two branches of study that underpin the current DHIGECS-COM research: Education, Communication and the Media, and Teaching and Learning in the Social Sciences.
