Abstracto
Si somos serios respecto la importancia de la educación pública y la comunicación, entonces necesitamos considerar la pedagogía de la arqueología. Enseñar a los universitarios sobre arqueología tendrá más éxito cuando los temas sobre método, teoría, y ética se señalan como aspectos integrados y centrales de la práctica arqueóloga. Tomando ejemplos de mi experiencia en la enseñanza en varias instituciones académicas norteamericanas, yo señalo como la investigación inspirada por el feminismo sirve como un método pedagógico práctico para enseñar a los estudiantes las realidades del diseño de investigación, el uso de múltiples líneas de evidencia, y verificaciń de las interpretaciones.
Résumé
Si nous voulons prendre au sérieux l'importance de l'éducation publique et de la communication, alors nous devons considérer la pédagogie dans l'archéologie. Enseigner l'archéologie aux étudiants sera plus fructueux quand les questions de méthode, de thérie et d'éthique seront mises en avant en tant qu'aspects intégrés et centraux de la pratique de l'archéologie. En illustrant mon discours d'exemples tirés de mon expérience d'enseignante dans différentes institutions académiques américaines, je montre comment la recherche marquée par le féminisme, peut servir d'approache, pédagogiquement utile, pour présenter aux étudiants les réalités des plans de recherche, l'utilisation de lignes d'évidences multiples et la vérification des interprétations.
