La Revista La enseñanza Primaria: una publicación por y para profesores. México, 1901-1911

Abstract

In this article I will focus on the study of the Primary Education Magazine, a publication aimed at empirical teachers as well as normalistas. I start from the assumption that this magazine had an impact on national educational policy, since its cultural and pedagogical work expanded both in the capital and in other entities of the country and abroad, through the publication of articles, conferences, translations, classes and various communications. Its authors disseminated new pedagogical and educational approaches for the teaching profession. At the end of the 19th century, the government of Porfirio Díaz favored the professionalization of teachers in Normal schools, in these spaces the most influential educational intellectuals in the country were formed, which sought spaces to debate, create and disseminate modern pedagogical thought. I ask myself the following questions: Do periodicals represent an educational training mechanism for teachers? What was  he purpose of a magazine for teachers and for teachers?
