Abstract

This article describes the main conclusions from research into educational documentaries and newsreels from the first thirty or so years of the 20th century in Spain. It firstly sets out the general and synthetic methodology used to carry out the study and, then, outlines the overarching view we have put together of the representation of education in the films looked at, from a formal, contextual standpoint and through content analysis. This overview provides a complex image of education and childhood care in the era. Despite the caution that must be taken when working with visual resources, we are able to affirm that analysis of the material has enabled us to focus on the nuances of details and open up new perspectives on the
history of education.

Key words: educational films, propaganda, history of education, content analysis.
