PEDAGOGICAL UNIVERSITY MUSEUMS AS SPACES OF MEMORY AND EDUCATION

Abstract

This paper fits in the new emergent historiographical trend concerning historical-educative patrimony and pedagogical museums in Spain. Our focus is on pedagogical museums of Spanish universities as spaces that enable to reconstruct the educational collective memory and to foresee dynamic scenarios of learning for everyone. These institutions are promoted by researchers and university historians of education, who have stimulated the creation of these spaces in the institutions where they work. Specifically, this paper analyzes in more detail one of these museums, the Manuel Bartolomé Cossío Museum of History of Education, located in the Faculty of Education at Complutense University of Madrid.
