ARIAS, Ana Carolina. La participación de maestros en la recopilación de tradiciones y saberes populares: la Encuesta Nacional de Folklore de Argentina (1921). Hist. educ. anu. [online]. 2022, vol.23, n.2, pp.11-20. ISSN 2313-9277.

This paper analyses the role of teachers in the collection of information on folk traditions and knowledge in the framework of the National Folklore Survey of 1921. This was promoted by the National Council of Education and implemented through the socalled Láinez Schools. In particular, the instructions and records produced from this survey are discussed. This allows us to observe how the national education system constituted a space for gathering information on a large scale and from the most remote localities of the country, mobilizing significant numbers of collaborators distributed in different regions. As this paper attempts to show, teachers played a fundamental role in collecting and organizing data in the places where they worked, participating in networks of exchange, and providing information at the national level. This also allows us to take into account another facet of teachers' activities, beyond classroom work.
