RUIZ, Guillermo et al. The Academic Structure Of Educational System Analyzed From The Contents: Basic Education During The First Decades Of The 20th Century. Anu. investig. [online]. 2008, vol.15. ISSN 1851-1686.

This article focuses on the results of the second part of this research: the reconstruction of the historical evolution of the academic structure of the Argentinean educational system from the curricula point of view. The main hypothesis considers that evolution of academic structure constitutes an indicator of the distribution of signifi- cant knowledge in the society. This historical evolution gives insights about the ways in which the Argentinean State has organized the distribution of knowledge across the formal education, through the definition of the obligatory period of schooling and educational tracks, in every historical period, for different social groups. Thus, the article describes the evolution of basic and primary education during the last decades of the 19th Century and the first half of the 20th Century.

Keywords : Academic structure; Contents of teaching; Compulsory education; Educational policy.
