During the first half of the twentieth century in Chile, primary education was consolidated with the dictation of the Obligatory Elementary Education Law (1920) and the sustained development of secondary education began with the creation of the Manuel de Salas Experimental High School in 1932 and the Gradual Reform of Secondary Education from 1946 with the establishment of the Renovated High Schools. Behind these significant advances in chile's educational system were the ideas of the pedagogue John Dewey, brought to Chile by Dario Salas; they fought for its implementation, among others, Salas himself, Amanda Labarca and Irma Salas, all with a secular mentality; however, there was an important contribution from St. Albert Hurtado, sj, who "Christianized" Dewey's pedagogy in his doctoral thesis in Louvain (1935). The objective of this article is to present the mentioned reform, following the historical methodology.

Palabras clave : Gradual reform; Chilean education; Democratization; Dewey’s pedagogy.
