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 .

As a consequence of some previous theoretical work, this paper analyses
children's experience of rights. The project "Growing with Rights", was
carried out via Internet in sixteen Spanish primary schools. More than
seven hundred pupils (10 to 12 years old) and thirty teachers took part
in it. The project was grounded on the idea that children's rights aim
to promote the image of boys and girls as active agents. So, when
teaching rights we must depart from an open dialogue on the personal
experience they have about their own rights. In the paper, we first
consider the theoretical basis of the project, concerning both the
pedagogic possibilities of the new achievements in information
technology, and the evolution and meaning of the rights of the child.
Then, we expose some methodological aspects and discuss the main
results arising from the research. Fernando Gil Cantero y Gonzalo Jover Olmeda
