Ideologia i educació en el procés articulant entre el franquisme i la democràcia Authors Antoni J. Colom i Cañellas Abstract This paper, which is based on the methodologies for analysing societal circumstances characteristic of critical sociology and A. Gramscis theories of ideology, articulates the definition of the social classes in Spain to explain the ideological and social changes that took place in the country during the closing years of the Franco regime and ended up in the formation of a democratic state. To this end, it reviews the political ideology that was launched with the implementation of the Economic Stabilisation Plan of 1959 and the changes in the countrys education system that would culminate in the General Education Law of 1970. At the same time, it analyses the need for a new educational framework in the heart of Spanish democracy and the motives that induced the passage of new General Organic Education Law of 1990. Lastly, among other questions, the paper uses J. Habermass theory of technocratic and communicative rationality to analyse the differences between the two series of laws and the changes they brought about in the field of pedagogy.
