Abstract

The Revista de Pedagogía (1922-1936) provided teachers with valuable information and school improvement by means of the dissemination of the most relevant methodological innovations of the period. Focusing on school science education, this paper shows how this magazine tried to improve the precarious state
of scientific education in Spain, contributing to the introduction of the teaching of scientific subjects in the curriculum. It also promoted scientific training and updating among teachers. Besides, it published manuals, textbooks and scientific readings, and provided extensive documentation on teaching resources, teaching materials, advanced classes or conferences related to teaching experimental sciences. Finally, it published numerous experiments concerning teaching classroom practices carried out by innovative teachers in the area of science. In short, the Revista de Pedagogía contributed decisively to the introduction, dissemination and implementation of new methodological approaches for school science teaching.

Key words: Revista de Pedagogía, School science teaching, Pedagogical renovation.
