TERAN NAJAS, Rosemarie. Secularism and Public Education in the ecuadorian liberal discourse (1897-1920): a reinterpretation. Hist. Caribe [online]. 2017, vol.12, n.30, pp.81-105. ISSN 0122-8803.  https://doi.org/10.15648/hc.30.2016.4.

This paper explores the distinguishing character acquired by secularism in Ecuador as a central concept of educational reform that arises from the liberal revolution of 1895 and takes place in the first two decades of the twentieth century. In such a context, it is analyzed the overlaps between the conceptions of "secular education" and "public education" presented in the legal frameworks and the new educational system, and the controversies about the levels of secularization of the new school system and the perpetuation of hallowed forms from representation. The appropriation of secularism is identified in the normal school teachers pedagogical discourse and, in the consolidation of their social and professional identity.
