Description
Summary:In this study we attempt to provide a preliminary evaluation of the role played by cinema and television in Spanish school culture in the 1960s and 1970s. While earlier research has pointed out their importance in this period, there is no study dedicated exclusively to this issue. Our research focuses on the late Franco period and the transition to democracy and analyses the technological innovations that were introduced into Spanish schools in the 1960s in order to modernize them. It also looks at the movements for pedagogical innovation reaction towards them in the 1970s. The bedazzlement they caused and the attractiveness of their persuasive power brought in their turn to a generalized effort to diffuse pedagogical cinema and train teachers to use it. However it seems that in more critical educational circles cinema and especially television were received with mistrust and suspicion. In this case the objective was not to use them in order to accompany the classes but to learn the audiovisual language in order to guarantee a critical mode of *consumption as well as the democratization of their usage.
