SCHOOL PRACTICE DURING THE EARLY YEARS OF FRANCO REGIME

Abstract The objective of this article is to contribute to a greater understanding of the school practices that took place in the years immediately following the Spanish Civil War. Studying these practices from a historical perspective requires that unique sources, not just the traditional ones, be considered. So, in this article we focus on one of these possible sources: pedagogical reports found in the dossiers of public competitions to fill primary school vacancies under the Franco regime. The analysis carried out in this article provides information about the content, methodology, and materials used in Balearic schools during the years following the Spanish Civil War, thus giving us a more nuanced understanding of the school practices that took place during this period.
