CASAS, Matías Emiliano. Martín Fierro for argentine children: the gaucho pedagogy in primaryschool. Rev. Actual. Investig. Educ [online]. 2016, vol.16, n.2, pp.395-417. ISSN 1409-4703.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/aie.v16i2.23932.

Since the thirties, the patriotic role of education contextualized the gaucho circulation in the classroom. In this paper, we focus on the use of the Martin Fierro and the adaptations operated on the original character to build a "legitimate master" of schoolchildren.The use of gaucho literature to exercise different content are also addressed. From education policy, the gaucho was a key to promote a set of values in students. That role involved some reconfigurations to the gaucho, so that who was considered outlaw and bandit before, became now recognized as moralistic teacher and example of patriotism.

Keywords : Martín fierro; education; nationalism; gaucho; argentina.
