La escuela privada religiosa en Mallorca durante la postguerra. Cultura y práctica escolar

Abstract

Private schools governed by religious orders and congregations are, undoubtedly, one of the major axes around which primary education has been centered in Spain during the 20th century. In this case, with the objective of drawing a picture of how school culture was structured in these institutions during the Spanish post-civil war period, we focus on analyzing dissertations on student teaching experiences that were written by students studying to get their teaching degrees. They are, without a doubt, excellent testimonials from which to learn about the praxis of the everyday classroom, or at least, about what was considered proper and worthy of reflection. To do this, we look at those dissertations that describe the teaching practices carried out in private religious schools in Majorca between 1939 and 1945, the Spanish post-civil war period. EET/TEE KEYWORDS: Private school; Religious orders; School culture; Dissertations; Post-war; Majorca; XXth Century.
