Educational heritage historiography in Spain: a critical balance

Abstract

Educational heritage historiography in Spain has experienced significant improvement in the last fifteen years. In this study an approximation of analyses on some of the main lines which have contributed to the renewal and dissemination of educational heritage historiography in Spain takes place. Firstly, the role played by pedagogical exhibitions was approached, as an instrument at the service of promoting their investigation and spreading. Secondly, the development reached by educational musealization and the existing bonds among some types of museums, the existing university research groups and the investigation projects developed are presented. Finally, the role played by the scientific meetings in knowledge improvement is studied, taking as reference the observations from the scientific journeys of the Spanish Society for the Historical-Educational Heritage Study (SEPHE).
