Abstract

The teacher, Teodor Terrés Lladó, assayed the application of Freinet techniques in three of the six Majorcan state schools where he worked. He promoted the publication of the school magazines Trabajo infantile at the Alaró grade school (1933-34), Despertar at the Can Pastilla mixed school (1934-1936) and Renacer at the Sa Casa Blanca children’s school (1937). By analysing these magazines and the documents included in the administrative files and official investigations into the teacher, we have been able to garner a wide-ranging and contextualised perspective on the use of presses at schools and the sense of Freinet pedagogical practice in these three experiences.

Key words: school press; school magazine; school correspondence; natural method;
Freinet technique.
