Implication

Survey study uncovers distinct traditional and participatory memory profiles across generational cohorts in Spain, highlighting heterogeneous recollections of authoritarian and democratic schooling.

Key Points

To identify distinct configurations of primary school memories and analyze their distribution across generational cohorts educated during and after Francoism and the democratic transition.
Administered a retrospective questionnaire measuring dimensions of school practice (teaching methods, curricular content, school climate, organization, innovation, and discipline) to adults born between 1942 and 1993 (N = 295).
Applied latent profile analysis to model patterns of retrospective school memory across historical cohorts.
Identified two primary profiles: one characterized by traditional, punitive, and moral-religious practices, and a second defined by participatory learning and an open school climate.
Demonstrated shifting yet overlapping distributions of these profiles across cohorts, reflecting both continuity and change rather than a uniform historical transition.
