El optimismo pedag??gico de la Sociedad Econ??mica de Amigos del Pa??s de Mallorca (1778-1808)

Profundizar en la Historia de la Educaci??n de Mallorca a trav??s del an??lisis de cada una de las escuelas que fund?? o intent?? fundar la Sociedad Econ??mica de Amigos del Pa??s. Se parte de una s??ntesis introductoria a lo que fueron las Sociedades Econ??micas de Amigos del Pa??s, posteriormente se describen los momentos y circunstancias que rodearon la fundaci??n de la Sociedad Econ??mica Mallorquina, as?? como su funcionamiento, para pasar a continuaci??n a analizar su ideolog??a y labor educativa, que la condujo hacia la fundaci??n del Instituto Balear. La localizaci??n de los documentos tiene lugar en Archivos Hist??ricos y Bibliotecas. Manuscritos, impresos, informes, expedientes, actas, correspondencia, borradores, memoriales, memorias, listas, Reales C??dulas, etc.. Su labor en el campo de la Ense??anza Primaria fue grande con la creaci??n de las tres escuelas de primeras letras. Intent?? revalorizar la ense??anza t??cnico-profesional, sobretodo con la creaci??n de la Escuela de Dibujo (Academia de Nobles Artes) junto con otros muchos intentos de ilustrar a los mallorquines. No se preocup?? por la mejora de la universidad, colaborando en la definitiva desaparici??n de la universidad literaria, cerrada en 1829. Sin embargo pusieron las bases para la creaci??n del Instituto Balear, supliendo la no realizada idea del seminario de nobles, al preocuparse por formar una ??lite mallorquina. El pedagogismo ilustrado estuvo presente en la ideolog??a y acci??n educativa de la sociedad, pero no siempre fue una realidad definitiva; sin embargo se nota el car??cter educativo que daba a sus empresas. Como en las dem??s sociedades la nobleza y el clero participaron en la culturizaci??n del pueblo, al creer en la funci??n b??sica de la Educaci??n.
