Narrative research in the history of education: Desviations of the story of the argentinean secondary school diploma from immediacy (Mar del Plata, 1914-1940)

Abstract

Stories in education are usually told ignoring a pedagogical, epistemological and political reflection of the senses they imply in our daily lives. From our doctoral research,  focused on the stories about the Argentine secondary school diploma in the first half of the twentieth century and the differences that are highlighted from a narrative approach to the experience of the Colegio Nacional of Mar del Plata (between 1914 and 1940), we investigate the need to (re)institute other stories in education. Associated to the variability of institutional projects, the pedagogical experimentation, the diversity of educational trajectories and the recognition of other subjects commonly absent in the stories of this formation. Finally such considerations collaborate in discussing the nostalgic glances wich are lacking of possibilities of action of the subjects that characterize the stories about this formation.
