La historia del currículum en España: la ruralidad dual de un subcampo todavía en construcción

Abstract

The historiography of curriculum and school subjects does not have a long tradition in Spain. Even today it is still a comparatively marginal focus of interest within the academic tribe of Spanish education historians, to the point that some of its most substantial fruits have been harvested outside that field. However, it is not the purpose of this article to carry out a usual review of the state of the art. Instead, a critical dissection of the implicit presuppositions and understandings about the nature and dynamics of the curriculum which underlie the research undertaken in this country in recent decades will be attempted.
