La Escuela Normal de Maestros de Badajoz. Su primer periodo histórico (1844-1849)

espanolEl desarrollo de las Escuelas Normales de maestros en Espana corre en paralelo a la redaccion de la normativa que edifica nuestro sistema educativo. Con la fundacion de un centro pedagogico de este tipo para formar a maestros en una provincia como Badajoz, eminentemente rural y analfabeta, se intentaria cumplir con el desideratum liberal de elevar la felicidad y contribuir al bienestar material de todos los ciudadanos. Del analisis del primer periodo historico (1844-1849) de la Escuela Normal de Maestros de Badajoz resulta esta investigacion que intenta ponderar su valor socioeducativo en un momento donde se requerian maestros que regentaran las escuelas de instruccion primaria de Espana y, en concreto, de las diseminadas por esta provincia extremena. De la misma forma, se comprobara como dicha Escuela Normal quedo sujeta a las incertidumbres propias de toda institucion que comienza su singladura academica. EnglishThe development of the Normal Schools of the primary teachers in Spain took place at the same time of the drafting of the different laws which built our educational system. The foundation of such an academic centre to train the graduates to be teachers in the province of Badajoz, basically rural and illiterate, tried to fulfill the liberal aspiration of raising happiness and therefore contributed to the material well-being of all citizens. This research arises as a result of the analysis of the first historical stage (1844- 1849) of the Normal Schools of primary teachers of Badajoz, which seeks to evaluate its social and educational value in a moment where teachers were needed to run the primary schools of Spain and, in particular, the schools which were scattered all over this province of the region of Extremadura. In the same way, it will verify how it had to face several uncertainties as an institution which started its academic journey.
