On-line dictionary of high school teachers who received a pension from the “Junta para Ampliación de Estudios (JAE)” between 1907 and 1936, which allows a prosopographical study of this group and offers knowledge about the educational innovations carried out in high school classrooms.

"High schools sare unique spaces for the dissemination and production of knowledge thanks to the triad formed by teachers, students and material culture."

The project aims are:
Determine the innovations in the teaching methods and techniques of the various school disciplines that constitute the antecedents of those taught in the current baccalaureate.
Analyze the way in which the students processed these educational innovations by means of a systematic study of their school works and notebooks.
One of the significant features of this on-line dictionary of JAE pensioned teachers is its map viewer. It shows the itineraries and stays of the pensioned teachers, mapping the distribution of specialties and trips in different periods of time.
Visualization of JAE Educa's teachers, trips and specialties.
JAE Educa data on teachers, institutions and pensions have been modeled in UML (Unified Modelling Language) and subsequently implemented in a PostgreSQL - PostGIS relational database.

Accessing data from the database allows its analysis and mapping in a GIS and dynamic visualizations. The mobility of JAE pensioned teachers is shown in networks of interrelationships between them and the institutions in which they taught from 1907 to 1936.
