The ideal teachers in the noble teaching ministry.

A study on the pedagogical press La Instrucción Primaria (1895-1903)

Abstract

The present work aims to explore the materiality and discourse of the Honduran pedagogical press La Instrucción Primaria (1895-1903) in its source / object dimension within the field of the history of education. Our objective was to problematize specific rationality parameters of the profession of the teacher related to its exercise and preparation. Both were analyzed under a registry in which we considered the professional aspect of the trade as a transversal axis, taking as a foundation the principles of gratuitousness, obligation and secularism framed in the positivist system divided into the Honduran Code of Public Instruction of 1882. In this sense, we highlight the representations and tensions of the finisecular educational sociability networks, thus contributing some elements that help to think about the mechanisms of democratization of Honduran education in the last quarter of the 19th century.
