Abstract

This article looks at the topic of ideas in the area of history education to then focus on ideas about the State at a time in history when this concept was taking shape and beginning to claim major prominence in an area where, until then, it had little. In this sense, we will examine the concept of the State and the birth of the Liberal State. We have limited the timeframe from 1857 (when the first general education act was drafted) to 1931 (the start of the Second Republic in Spain). Furthermore, our study focusses on the ideas and approaches of politicians in terms of the State and its role in Education. In this vein, we attempt to provide an outline of differing opinions in reference to certain areas: the State as Educator/the Right to Education; the State as Administrator; Control/Freedom of Teaching, and the relations between Church and State. As we show, these changes significantly depend on their underlying ideology.

Key words: History of Education, History of Ideas, State, Education.
