¿Cómo se enseña la Ilustración en 2.º de Bachillerato? Un análisis de los libros de texto, sus contenidos y la cuestión de género

Our article tries to study the way Enlightenment is taught and it has been taught in Spanish high schools, through analyzing some secondary text books on History of Spain. Those textbooks have been written at various moments. In fact, they correspond to two different organic laws, LOGSE (1990) and the current LOMCE (2013). Our main aim is to find out if recent historiographic approaches and contributions on Enlightenment are included. We would like also to know if they consider, or not, gender perspective and, if so, how it is understood. Our results show how textbooks keep, in general, traditional approaches to Enlightenment. However, we could detect a slight evolution with the incorporation of a certain number of questions on women history and new sociability approaches in more recent textbook.
