The changing social environment dictates acquisition of new knowledge. The author believes that familiarising a student with the subject-matter in social sciences makes sense only if it stimulates the student to start educating himself independently, which means starting to keep up with periodicals, new book issues and other mass media related to this field. Social science teachers should become action researchers, since - according to the author - only those teachers who keep up educating themselves are able to implant in their students the culture of self education. Spreminjanje družbenih razmer zahteva pridobivanje novega znanja. Avtorica meni, da je spoznavanje družboslovnih vsebin za učenca smiselno le, če ga te spodbudijo k samoizobraževanju, ki se kaže predvsem v stalnem spremljanju periodičnega tiska in drugih množičnih občil ter knjižnih novosti na tem področju. Prav tako meni, da morajo učitelji družboslovja nameniti večjo pozornost samoizobraževalni didaktizaciji. Učitelji družboslovja bi morali postati akcijski raziskovalci. Avtorica namreč ugotavlja, da lahko le tisti učitelji, ki se sami nenehno izobražujejo, privzgajajo učencem samoizobraževalno kulturo.
