Abstract

In Spain, during the final stage of the Franco dictatorship, a new professional profile for teaching, embodied in the 1971 curriculum, diversified into a programme of specialised cultural and educational training and substantially changed the initial teaching model. The transformation of Teacher Training Colleges into university centres, in accordance with the General Education Act (1970) constituted a major advance in the training of schoolteachers, thereafter called General Basic Education (EGB) Teachers. Professional identity along with their educational commitments played a key role as for pedagogic renovation. The aim of this paper is to study the initial training as well change initiatives promoted by the teaching staff in the Canary Islands until the Spanish transition to democracy.

KEYWORDS: Education, dictatorship, education, 1971 curriculum, pedagogic renovation, political transition.
