- Abstract
In this article I would like to show that primary teachers, a social sector that is not included in the analysis of collective action during the Spanish transition to democracy, contributed to the social mobilization that characterized Spanish society at the time. More important I would like to use the case of the teachers to offer a different way to look at social conflict during the transition to democracy. Instead of analyzing the influence of social mobilization on the actions of the political leaders, my study focuses on the practical and cultural consequences of the teacher's mobilization on the educational sector. This exploration illuminates how they diffused interpretations of crucial democratic concepts and how they changed the authoritarian procedures that ruled working relations in their professional sector.
