The study argues that teaching methodologies are important as they aim at the development of the critical and creative thinking skills of the students, to problem solving and making decisions in real life, in the construction of understanding themselves and the others, social roles within the group and between groups of different cultural backgrounds. The purpose of this study, is to present some of the methods that enable teachers to improve the interaction of students with textbooks, for a critical analysis and study strategy and the perfection of their work through several successful methods used during the process of teaching/learning. The main problem lies in the social subjects which have enough space for a multi-dimensional education for students, but without excluding also other subjects of the formal curricula required, containing within itself the possibility for new dimensions of education. This study, will focus on the important role of teachers which with their formation and personality have a direct impact on students. Every teacher should select those methods and techniques which encourage discussion, debate, reflection and evaluation of various social situations, adapted to the cultural level and age of students. Teachers, along with textbooks should fulfill better the noble mission of education, of spiritual emancipation, material progress and the social development of students as social individuals. Teachers should try hard to encourage problem-solving learning, through the development of a classroom structure, based on a harmonious combinations of controls, explanation, and elaboration of concepts. The teacher avoids giving ready-made knowledge to the students, following the method of knowlege discovery, always guided and helped by the teacher.
