Mobiliario, dotación y equipamiento escolar en el siglo XIX

Abstract

In this article there is an attempt to reconstruct the typology of the primary school scene in Europe as regards furniture, funds and equipment of the schools in the first two thirds of the ninteenth century, as a background of the Spanish scene. After writing a synthetic exposition of the recommendations made on the matter by the Spanish writers, the author reviews the normative dictates of the nineteenth century and contrasts theory, law and the school practice, this one traditionally away from the theoretical and normative prescriptions. There is an intention to contribute to a better knowledge of the Spanish school practice, particularly, in the first half of the nineteenth century, period on which there is still a relative semidarkness in the educational historiography
