Presentation
The revista española de pedagogía (Spanish Journal of Pedagogy or rep) is one of the oldest journals in the world dealing with pedagogical research. During the several decades it has been published, the revista española de pedagogía has always maintained the highest standards of quality and it has gained international awards.
The logo of the journal is a wheel, a symbol that wants to evoke several ideas: creativity and forward motion, the wisdom eye that enters into the knowledge of reality, the sun that radiates knowledge and makes ideas shine more clearly, as well as the globe, the sign of an education that is interested in the society where it belongs. This symbol, together with some other figures, is represented in the famous picture painted by Raphael entitled “the School of Athens”, in recognition of one of the most important moments of Pedagogy.
The Home page includes a summary of the articles published in the last number of the Journal .

This paper intends to study the educational system both in Spain and
Germany, paying a special attention to the teaching of the first
language in those countries. The Education Reform in Spain, meant to
achieve equality of opportunities, looks for a structural change and
new learning contents. The present Spanish system is closely related to
the German one, although the issues currently discused are rather
different. The four types of Secondary Schools in Germany and the
long-lasting practice of an active teaching pedagogy make it easier to
achieve the objectives sought after by the new system. A comparative
study between the subjects called Lengua Castellana y Literatura and
Deutsch taught as first languages points out the gradual rapprochement
of both educational systems as well as the differences rooted in the
tradition of each country. Rosa Ana Martín Vegas Key Words: Comparative education. Curriculum change. Educational planning. History of Spanish Education. Spanish Language and Literature. German Language. El sistema educativo español actual se parece en la fundamentación teórica al sistema alemán, pero difiere bastante en la estructura y en la práctica docente. Los cuatro tipos de escuela secundaria en Alemania y la larga tradición de una pedagogía práctica en virtud del aprendizaje significativo en este país permiten alcanzar los objetivos generales del sistema educativo de manera más fácil. Un estudio comparativo entre las asignaturas llamadas Lengua Castellana y Literatura y Deutsch, como primeras lenguas en ambos países, ilustra las similitudes de las leyes educativas de los dos sistemas y las diferencias arraigadas en la tradición pedagógica de cada país que, a su vez, distancian en la práctica ambos modelos de enseñanza.
