Abstract

The decade of the 1990s was a time of intense production and the consolidation of its institutionalchannels for research, debate and publication for the historiography of education in Argentina. In theoretical‐methodological terms, this period saw the disappearance of the traditional lines of events‐based chronicles, a relative continuity in the social history of education and the consolidation of a new critical pedagogical and institutional history. Interest developed in current problems like power and gender relations, andin non‐hegemonic and alternative discourses’ present in different area like the curriculum, school organization and everyday life, teacher training and educadonal policies. The present article analyzes the particularities of this development in the historiography of education, constituted as it is with a stronginter‐disdpHnarypresence, and notes its objects of study, the methodologies that are used, and the theoretical resources that gave rise to the hypotheses and arguments.
