JIMENEZ-BECERRA, Absalón. First National Pedagogical Congress of Colombia in 1917. A Glimpse into its Tensions and Breakthroughs. Pedagogía y Saberes [online]. 2018, n.48, pp.153-161. ISSN 0121-2494.

This article takes a retrospective look at the experience from the First National Pedagogical Congress that took place in Colombia in 1917. Four fundamental tensions are identified: the management of normal schools, the teaching methods, the school texts and programs and, finally, the strains between two ways of pedagogical thinking, the conservative and the liberal. Furthermore, the creation of the National Pedagogical Institute in March 1927 is seen as one of the main breakthroughs that, by changing to the Montessori's method and encouraging the progressive education's principles, contributed to the pedagogical modernization of the country and, by mid-twentieth century, to the establishment of the National Pedagogical University (UPN).
