Spanish term or phrase: Estudio y comprensión del Medio Social
Hola!
Éste es el nombre de un ramo que se da en los colegios de enseñanza básica en Chile. Antiguamente se le conocía como "Ciencias sociales". Introduce al alumno a la educación cívica, la sociedad y el mundo donde vivimos.

¿Alguien sabe cómo dejarlo en inglés?

Muchas gracias!
