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.

We are presenting avant-garde movements in education in the following way: —Till the times of Francoism by means of the characteristic pedagogies of the New School endorsed by the Institución Libre de Enseñanza (ILE) and through the labourist, libertarian and marxist ideologies. —During Francoism, by returning to models from the past or taking advantage of the impact of the Ley General de Educacion from 1970, which at the same time favoured an innovating editorial dynamic. —In democracy the Constitution makes possible the development of civil pedagogy and educative decentralization (cross subjects and curricula) presented by the LOGSE. Furthermore, the dialectics between critical and technological thought depict the most recent of debates. Antonio J.
