The discipline of art history has a specific subject in the last year of post-compulsory secondary education but not in the case of compulsory education, where it is taught in connection with the contents of history. This is important because for many students it will be the last time to study artistic contents in their period of compulsory education. Given the importance of arts education in the integral development of people, the aim of this paper is to determine the relevance and nature of the art history contents present in exams in ESO (compulsory secondary education), the different periods and artistic expressions assessed, and the cognitive skills required inthis kind of exams. We have analyzed the regional legislation of Murcia and different exam types (partial, final, etc.) for the Social Sciences subject, and Geography and History, in 1st, 2nd and 4th years of ESO. The results indicate that the exams do not give the relevance to the contents of art history that the legislation established for ESO, which were quite vague in the first place, focusing on conceptual elements and memory capacity.

The inclusion of people with disabilities is a priority in advanced societies. To get it, education is one of the best tools. In this paper, we have studied the support for the inclusion of students with disabilities in the university environment. Our work is related to the theoretical model proposed by the Theory of Planned Behavior and was performed by using data obtained through a survey conducted at the University of A Coruña (Spain) during the 2010-2011 academic year, to 621 students from all degrees in Education Science. The results show the importance of gender as a differentiating factor, revealing a greater involvement of women compared to men, in the stimulus of the inclusion of their university peers suffering disability. The relevance of these results increases if we consider the social impact of this higher involvement of this group (women), that is majority in the primary education, when the formation of attitudes is developed.

This paper seeks to initiate a reflexion on education as another way of thinking of the May 1810 revolution in Argentina. Such a goal requires returning, among other things, to the objectives of the May Revolution, which were the principles intended for education, what kind of knowledge and skills were believed to be necessary, which was the relationship between education and change and what were the philosophical, political and pedagogical educational paradigms of that time. The insistence of some of the "men of May" about the new government to be based on an also new citizen made them rethink education, in order to ensure the people's access to revolutionary ideas with which they intended to found a new order, and perhaps a nation.

In this paper, we will analyze the level of conflict of teachers in the eighties in Argentina. We will do so through the study of the teacher union of the province of Santa Fe and of the 1988 strike that had a major national impact. This protest took different names, such as "Maestrazo", "White Demonstration" or "White Strike", but they all referred to the same scenario: mass mobilization encouraged by teachers and their union representatives in a troubled political, economic and cultural context at national level.
