Student and Teacher Movements in Spain and Latin America (19th-20th Centuries). Content Analysis of the Evolution and Historiographic Production

Abstract

In this article we present a study focused on content analysis on the evolution and historiographic production of student and teacher social movements published in high-impact education history journals. To do this, a systematic review of the articles from the magazines that are integrated into the database specialized in the History of Education, hecumen, is used as a sample. Currently, hecumen hosts 6,000 articles from 11 specialized History of Education journals of international relevance indexed in Scopus. Through it, taking into account the articles on student and teacher social movements, whose object of study is between the 19th and 20th centuries, both in Spain and in a sample of Latin American countries, an analysis is carried out, in different levels of depth of scientific production, highlighting those topics and areas that have aroused greater interest in historical-educational research, as well as other less explored ones, trying to investigate possible explanations, motivations and causes. Among other conclusions, we have been able to observe, on the one hand, a great interest among researchers in the analysis of these movements in dictatorial periods, as well as in studies on university student movements or the analysis of the press as a historical-educational source. On the other hand, research related to the associations of early childhood education teachers or the role of teaching unions, among other issues, is surprising due to its absence or lack of relevance.
