ACEVEDO-TARAZONA, Álvaro  and  MALTE-AREVALO, Rolando Humberto. School Teachers in the Educational State: Their Professionalization and Joining in the Bureaucracy of the Sovereign State of Santander, 1870-1885. Rev. colomb. educ. [online]. 2018, n.74, pp.19-35. ISSN 0120-3916.

This paper describes and analyzes the process of professionalization and joining of school teachers in the bureaucracy of the Sovereign State of Santander following the Instructional Reform of 1870. We argue that the implementation of a teacher professionalization system, as well as their joining in state bureaucracy were the main contributions of the liberal educational reform, given its institutional and social consequences, such as the recognition of the new disciplinary and professional status of teaching and the emergence of a new state figure: the school teacher-an aspect of the reform not yet identified by specialized historiography. The study is based on official primary data, as well as on historiography, which has addressed the subject matter of the reform in order to generate a historical representation of the institutional and social impact of the most important educational reform of the 19th Century in Colombia.

Keywords : normal schools; sovereign state of Santander; public instruction; teacher professionalization; instructional reform.
