Actualidade do pensamento educativo de Manuel Bartolomé Cossío

[Resumo] Neste artigo faise unha evocación das aportacións de Manuel Bartolomé Cossío (1857-1935) á educación española. Partindo do desacougo que está a producir a actual reforma do sistema educa- tivo. ponse de manifesto que é frecuente hoxe utilizar o seu pensamento pedagóxico de maneira intere- sada e partidista. Preséntanse cinco ideas de plena actualidade que Cossío defendeu o langa da súa vida e que poden enriquecer o debate educativo producido pala reforma: a figura do mestre, o concepto de escala, a defensa dun ensino activo para todos, a natureza da ensinanza secundaria, e o problema da educación relixiosa. O obxectivo do artigo é proporcionar datos e chiscos de luz que impidan afondar nun fraude intelectual sobre o seu pensamento.[Abstract] This article discusses the contributions of Manuel Bartoiomé Cossío (1857-1935) to Spanish Education.
