GARCIA-SERRANO, Adriana Alejandra. School Materiality in Institutions of Care and Education for Children under 6 Years of Age in Mexico City, 1870-1940. Rev. colomb. educ. [online]. 2021, n.83, e302.  Epub Aug 06, 2022. ISSN 0120-3916.  https://doi.org/10.17227/rce.num83-10867.

The aim of this research article is to analyze school materials in care and education institutions for children under 6 years of age in Mexico City in the period 1870-1940. It reflects on the materials used for the instruction or teaching of preschool children; as well as their changes and the link they kept with what young children were expected to learn, go, and do in a process of appropriation and institutionalization of education aimed at young children. The theoretical-methodological approach includes branches of research in cultural history, specifically the history of material culture, school materiality and childhood. This approach is intended to identify the transformations of school materials and their uses based on research in various bibliographical sources and archival documents such as inventories, programs, requests for materials and resources, among others. It shows how the school materials were changing while moving from an instructive to an educational conception in institutions for children under 6 years of age.

Keywords : educational history; early childhood education; school culture; kindergarten; preschool education.
