| Kuvaus: | This article analyses and reconstructs the evolution of the civic education text in its different manifestations and intentions during the period from 1821 to 1929 in Costa Rica. This analysis is part of a doctoral research process on citizenship education developed at the Humboldt University of Berlin between 2016 and 2021. Based on archival work and analysis of school texts, the objective was to understand the importance of the textbook in the context of Latin American education, whose function went from being a means of literacy and Christianization during the colonial era to becoming a means of training citizens after independence and the formation of the new republics. In the field of political education, instruction and civic education, the idea of attributing to a text, whether in the form of a catechism, primer or school book, the capacity to agglomerate the knowledge necessary for the political and moral formation of the citizens of the Republic, a phenomenon that is analyzed in this article in the Costa Rican case. The study concludes that textbooks played a central and symbolic role in Costa Rican civic education, combining didactic and ideological functions of liberal republicanism. From the mid-20th century, new political sensibilities began reshaping their use and meaning. |
