The aim of the present paper is to analyze the conception of science of Popper resorting to the metaphor with the game of chess that he uses in his work The logic of scientific research. We consider that by means of this metaphor it is possible to perceive that its conception of science is not reduced to the logical criterion of falsifiability as many of its critics let us envisage, nor even to define methodological rules to guide the practice of science. But the philosopher himself in establishing such analogy makes it clear the existence os rules is what science has in common with the game of chess. In our view, these rules, as well as the scientific criterion, are not sufficient to define the scientific practice, since it involves other elements such as: values, objectives, scientific community and context in which the research is carried out. Popper assumes these elements in his metaphor, but does not make them explicit. It is only in later works such as Conjectures and Refutations and The Open Society and Its Enemies that they are clearly defined. We, therefore, intend to bring to light those elements involved in the game of science in Popper in order to give greater clarity to his conception of what science is.

The Social Sciences demarcate their importance in the construction of the plural and democratic identity of modern society, whose civilizing principles have been historically represented in the process of elaborating the sociological, anthropological and politological discourse of civilizational progress. In Brazil, in recent years, more in-depth debates about the teaching of Social Sciences in Basic Education began to be guided. Since the mandatory teaching of Sociology, understood as a formative space in Social Sciences in High School, Brazilian society began to reflect on the place of Anthropology in school. In this perspective our research originates, in order to understand the teaching / learning process of Anthropology in the scope of Basic Education. Thus, the purpose of this article is to reflect on the contributions of anthropological knowledge and Social Sciences in the school context, thinking about their challenges and contributions in the teaching practice and in the construction of critical reflexivity about society and culture. ; Las Ciencias Sociales demarcan su importancia en la construcción de la identidad plural y democrática de la sociedad moderna, cuyos principios civilizadores han sido históricamente representados en el proceso de elaboración del discurso sociológico, antropológico y politológico del progreso civilizacional. En Brasil, en los últimos años, se comenzaron a orientar debates más profundos sobre la enseñanza de las Ciencias Sociales en la Educación Básica. A partir de la obligatoriedad de la enseñanza de la Sociología, entendida como un espacio formativo de las Ciencias Sociales en el Bachillerato, la sociedad brasileña comenzó a reflexionar sobre el lugar de la Antropología en la escuela. Desde esta perspectiva se origina nuestra investigación, con el fin de comprender el proceso de enseñanza / aprendizaje de la Antropología en el ámbito de la Educación Básica. El propósito de este artículo es reflexionar sobre los aportes del conocimiento antropológico y las Ciencias Sociales en el contexto escolar, reflexionando sobre sus retos y aportes en la práctica docente y en la construcción de la reflexividad crítica sobre la sociedad y la cultura. ; As Ciências Sociais demarcam sua importância na construção da identidade plural e democrática da sociedade moderna, cujos princípios civilizadores foram historicamente representados no processo de elaboração do discurso sociológico, antropológico e politológico do progresso civilizacional. No Brasil, nos últimos anos, começam a se pautar debates mais aprofundados em torno do ensino das Ciências Sociais na Educação Básica. A partir da obrigatoriedade do ensino da Sociologia, compreendida enquanto espaço formativo das Ciências Sociais no Ensino Médio, a sociedade brasileira passou a refletir sobre o lugar da Antropologia na escola. Nessa perspectiva se originam nossas pesquisas, no intuito de compreender o processo de ensino/aprendizagem da Antropologia no âmbito da Educação Básica. A proposta deste artigo é refletir sobre as contribuições do saber antropológico e das Ciências Sociais no contexto escolar, pensando seus desafios e contribuições na prática docente e na construção da reflexividade crítica sobre a sociedade e a cultura.
