The article attempts to show how the social sciences in Colombia were institutionalized during the 1960s through a process of de-politicization and de-ideologization of society. This event might be related to the abandonment of a project for political pedagogy, traditionally linked to the nationalism of earlier decades. Such a process caused the academy (the scholars) and the world of school to grow apart, making the school's social sciences to appear as minor knowledge, depending on university disciplines.
