Studies on the ideas on which the referents of the Argentinian educational field were inspired have particularly shown the contribution of many pedagogical traditions -French, American, English or German-. Nevertheless, though admitting the indisputable presence of these models, it appears to be necessary to acknowledge the important influence of other educational ideas, especially the Spanish pedagogical tradition. It is precisely in this article that we are going to examine those suggestive innovations which circulated in the peninsula in educational matters along the 18th century, in order to show in which ways they were used in our country when the educational state system was shaped. From a qualitative research methodology, and based on different documents -such as official documents and Spanish pedagogical referents 'writings-, this study will try to present a more complex and nuanced context of the intellectual influences of the rising Argentinian pedagogical field.
