HERNANDEZ, Arianna Vega  and  HOLGUIN, Jesús Adolfo Trujillo. The training of normalista students from Chihuahua and their participation in the agrarian movements of Chihuahua, Mexico, during the 1960s. Cad. Hist. Educ.

The 1960s was a period of worldwide upheaval. In Mexico - and particularly in the northern state of Chihuahua - students and teachers took part in the struggle for land distribution. This paper describes the formation of normalista students and their participation in the social movements of the time, focusing on ideological consequences of the socialist education of the Cardenista period (1934-1940) in radical thought and in the combative attitude that they took before the problems of the worker and peasant sector. To structure the article, key documents, hemerographic sources and secondary bibliographies related to the subject are used. Among the preliminary investigations we concluded that the social origin of the students and the training they received in the Normal schools was decisive in their aspirations for change for the most needy population.

Keywords : History of education; Teacher training; History of normalism.
