ECONOMÍA DOMÉSTICA Y REFORMA: EL CONOCIMIENTO ALIMENTARIO EN LA FORMACIÓN ESCOLAR FEMENINA DURANTE EL RÉGIMEN DE IBÁÑEZ (CHILE, 1928-1931)

This work studies the incorporation of scientifc contents in female education in the context of the educational reform of Carlos Ibáñez del Campo in Chile in 1928. To do so, it analyzes the appropriation made by the students of the contents of economic science, especially those related to food, in the student magazines of the establishments. Through them, the article reveals that the need to prepare women for domestic life continued to function as an incentive for their scientifc training. It also suggests that the new contents of domestic science in the context of the reform and the experimental methodology deepened scientifc training and ofered more specialized instruction that would be articulated both with their domestic commitments and with the emergence of new professional trades.
