Learning the trade. Contributions to regional history from teacher training

Abstract

Thirty-five years ago, the group "History Section" from Instituto Superior de Profesorado Nº3 "Eduardo Lafferriere" has maintained a focused path in the development of historiographical productions at regional and local levels. As a result, the congregation of this movement gave birth to the journal Historia Regional, a dissemination and transmission space of historiographical knowledge. Since then, it has experienced different transformations until arriving at its current form. "Learning the trade" is a section within the journal that has been in charge of collecting the essays of students training in History instruction for more than a decade. Considering by the "History Section" as a great innovation, the main objective of this paper is to provide a general understanding of the articles that it encloses, focusing our attention on themes and problems, sources and methodologies, and perspectives of analysis. However, it also pretends to provide some considerations and reflections on the Section's work in recent decades regarding the production of knowledge and the relationship established between teacher training and historical research from a regional perspective.
