New Research Leads On The Commercial Catalogue Of Educational Objects

Francesca Pizzigoni — Tue, 10 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0100

The historical trade catalogue of companies producing educational objects is a wide-ranging and articulate source that allows us to delve into many aspects of research into the material history of schools. The article intends to show some ongoing projects at the University of Turin that use the catalogue of didactic objects both to deepen the knowledge of specific publishing houses or specific didactic objects, and to grasp broader changes within the school industry, mirroring the pedagogy and didactics of a specific period. In particular, the article presents a work in progress with respect to the use of the catalogue as a diriment tool for the identification of categories of materials produced by the school industry in the past

The Evolution of Teaching Object Classification through Teaching Material Catalogues in Spain (1880-1950)

M José Martínez Ruiz-Funes, José Pedro Marín Murcia, Lucía Amorós Poveda — Tue, 10 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0100

This paper analyses the evolution of teaching materials catalogues and their relevance in the preservation of educational heritage. Through the study of various catalogues, it explores the transformations in the classification and organization of materials in response to the demands of the educational system. The systematization proposal presented seeks to contribute to the study of the historical context of these materials, offering a perspective that encompasses multiple disciplines. This approach allows us to understand the influence of the market and pedagogical changes in educational provision over time.

Teaching material catalogues and physics cabinets

Paulí Dávila Balsera, Luis María Naya Garmendia, Joana Miguelena Torrado — Tue, 10 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0100

School catalogues have become a primary source that allows us to recognise the didactic and school material produced and distributed by different commercial houses and also to detect their school offer, generally adapted to the needs imposed by the curriculum. The UPV-EHU Education Museum has a large number of these catalogues since the beginning of the 20th century. In this collaboration we want to highlight the importance of physics cabinets as a resource for the teaching of this subject, with the aim of highlighting the standardised offer of this scientific material in the catalogues.

Photography and public image of the ‘Casa José Antonio’ (Provincial Children's Home) in Murcia in his memoirs during Franco's regime, 1948-1962

Pedro L Moreno Martínez, Elena García Hernández — Tue, 10 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0100

The aim of this article is to study the photographic legacy of the school memories of the Casa de Misericordia in Murcia, known as ‘Casa José Antonio’ during the Franco regime, from the academic year 1948-1949 to 1961-1962. Firstly, we present its historical background and significance in the context of the social policies of the Franco regime. Secondly, we examine the precedents, characteristics and potential of the memoirs as a source of knowledge of the historical trajectory and historical-educational heritage of the institution. Finally, we carry out a general analysis of the photographic representations contained in the memoirs.

Homeland and Religion: the new curriculum for primary schools in the Francoist period. A study through the analysis of women's school notebooks.

Bienvenido Martín Fraile, Gabriel Parra Nieto, Beatriz Sánchez Barbero — Tue, 10 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0100

After the Spanish Civil War, a political regime was established that recovered the concepts of homeland and religion as fundamental ideological principles. This study analyses whether the school practices of national Catholicism, centred on individual sacrifice for the homeland and religion, influenced the gender identity of female students. For this purpose, school notebooks of the female school of the Centro Museo Pedagógico of the University of Salamanca were analysed. The results confirm that the new regime dismantled Republican egalitarian policies, relegating women to subordinate roles and turning them into guardians of Catholic discourse and the conservative values of Franco's regime.

School rituals in the Basque Country under Francoism.

Peio Manterola Pavo — Tue, 10 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0100

The purpose of this article is to study the school rituals of three educational cultures in the Basque Country during Franco's regime using the UPV/EHU's Education Museum notebooks. It highlights notable differences in the rituals of instruction, revitalization, intensification and resistance between the ordinary national-Catholic school represented by the etxe-eskola of Zipitria and Orereta Ikastola. However, when studying the rituals in which the notebook occupies the place of dominant symbol, we conclude that the elaboration of the notebook constitutes a ritual in which the other rituals represented in it are articulated symbols.

The first boxes and books of lessons on things, and the implementation of intuitive teaching: don't let's ask for the moon

Tue, 10 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0100

Object lessons are more than 200 years old, and their history can be divided into several stages. This article explores the reception of intuitive teaching in Spain in the 19th century, through Montesino, Carderera and García Navarro, the latter already in the second stage, as well as some of the first materials disseminated to facilitate the application of intuitive teaching in the classroom. The presence of these themes in the Spanish press is studied. These objects must have been used by poorly trained teachers, which leads us to question whether they fulfilled their purpose.

The large cabinet drawers of Maria Montessori: evidence of evolving thinking

Martine Gilsoul — Tue, 10 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0100

The large cabinet drawers from the first Children’s House is the highlight of the collection of the Museo della Scuole e dell’Educazione ‘Mauro Laeng’ of the University of Roma Tre with regard to the Montessori method. Reconstructing the biography of this piece of furniture shows the importance of deepening the study of the material culture of the Montessori school. The research done so far with sources of different types has shown that it is probably a prototype: this helps to understand the evolution of Maria Montessori’s thinking with regard to the environment and the meaning of furniture that is truly prepared for the child.

Impact of Hygienic and Pedagogical Discourses on Mexican School Architecture (1920-1940)

Jennifer Domínguez Rodríguez — Tue, 10 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0100

Throughout history, education has been crucial for the development of cultures, and Mexico is no exception. This research focuses on school architecture in the first third of the twentieth century, a post-revolutionary period that saw the creation of the Secretaría de Educación Pública (SEP) in 1921. Hygiene became an essential component in schools, influenced by the Hygienic Pedagogical Congress of 1882. Architects and historians have studied the evolution of these spaces, highlighting the influence of sanitary policies and construction techniques. This study aims to demonstrate how the hygienist discourses of the late nineteenth century influenced the configuration of Mexican schools in the early twentieth century, consolidating a school infrastructure with its own identity.

The obligation to learn to sew

Carmen Diego Pérez, Montserrat González Fernández — Tue, 10 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0100

Girls and young women compulsorily learnt to sew during their primary and secondary education and teaching or professional studies, until the entry into force of the General Education Law in 1970, and their needlework are objects with heritage value present in school museums. We trace the existence of the subject “labour”, refer to the teaching contexts of sewing, recover the first manuals used for its teaching and propose an identification and explanation of these school samplers.

It concludes with some proposals for future improvement.

University teaching innovation and its influence on Social Museology

Estefanía Monforte García — Tue, 10 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0100

This article is part of the recovery project "Yesterday's school to build tomorrow" which follows the precepts of social museology. In recent years, the collaboration of the Faculty of Social and Human Sciences of Teruel has been incorporated in several innovative projects: student visits, the collection of oral memory, the introduction of active methodologies and the creation of teaching material by future teachers are some of the actions. All of this constantly aspiring to the involvement of the community as the driving force behind this relationship and the knowledge that is generated.

The didactic laboratory of the Museu Pedagògic de Castelló

Joan Andrés Traver Martí, Mark Lapiedra Ortega , Tomás Segarra Arnau — Tue, 10 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0100

The Pedagogical Museum of Castellón has a collection of material from the former Teacher Training College of Castellón. Based on the work of conservation, restoration and dissemination of this collection, we propose the creation of a Didactic Laboratory for the initial training of teachers of Infant and Primary Education. We start from the Foucauldian conception of the archive, with the idea of offering a second training opportunity to this historical-educational heritage that allows the contemporary use of these materials in today's schools. To do so, we implemented three types of actions associated with participatory research, educational innovation and higher education
