MARIN TAMAYO, John Jairo. The problem of effectiveness in the education of indigenous people of the province of Cartagena de Indias in the documents presenting the Catechism by Fray Dionisio de Sanctis(1577). memorias [online]. 2015, n.26, pp.177-212.

This paper aims to answer the question of how the use of the catechism in the Christianization of the indigenous population of the province of Cartagena de Indias was projected? To answer the question, an internal analysis is done on the discours contained in the documents presenting the catechism by Fray Dionisio de Sanctis Bishop of Cartagena de Indias between 1574 and 1577. This analysis explains the problems of effectiveness in the civil and religious instruction of indigenous people of the province of Cartagena, which is made from three perspectives: the instrument, the agents and pedagogy.
