THE PEDAGOGICAL PRESS IN THE RECONSTRUCTION OF THE EDUCATIONAL PAST: THE CASE OF THE JOURNAL ESCUELAS DE ESPAÑA (1929-1936)

Abstract Escuelas de España is one of the most representative pedagogical journals of education and of the schools of the Second Republic in Spain. The review of the international studies on pedagogical press shows the scarce historical and educational research carried out on this journal. This article aims to help fill that gap, as it features a descriptive analysis of that publication. The analysis is based on its value as a pedagogical heritage that allows researching the education and pedagogical renovation from 1929 to 1936. Its origin, purposes and characteristics, structure, sections and contents are studied, as well as its protagonists, especially the three teachers who founded and ran it.
