Abstract
Objective: This study presents a historical, documentary, and comparative analysis of two 19th-century newspapers published in Argentina and Colombia, focusing on three units of analysis: the role of women in public education, pedagogical and didactic renewal, and curricular organization.
Originality/Contribution: This research recognizes two 19th-century newspapers published in Argentina and Colombia as a fundamental corpus for historical-documentary-comparative analysis. While these newspapers have been consulted in various studies, no comparative analysis of them has been conducted until now.
Method: This study is a historical-documentary-comparative investigation in which volumes of the newspapers “El Monitor de la Educación Común” (Argentina) and “La Escuela Normal. Periódico Oficial de Instrucción Pública” (Colombia) were analyzed and compared. Three units of analysis were defined for the comparison (the role of women in public education, pedagogical and didactic renewal, and curricular organization), which guided the organization of sources (doxography), their analysis, and subsequent understanding (historical synthesis).
Strategies/Data Collection: For the search, selection, and organization of sources, units of analysis were determined to facilitate the comparison of the two newspapers. Databases from the Biblioteca Nacional de Maestros in Argentina (online), the Biblioteca Luis Ángel Arango, and the repository of the Universidad del Atlántico (online) were reviewed. Additionally, reflection and research articles, as well as master’s and doctoral theses related to the three units of analysis, were examined.
Conclusions: “El Monitor de la Educación Común” and “La Escuela Normal. Periódico Oficial de Instrucción Pública” sought to establish their position in the educational field as a strategy for strengthening both the pedagogical (teacher training, instruction, and professional development) and administrative aspects of public education.
