description In the middle of the 19th century in the city of Mexico developed several projects of scientific magazines addressed to classes in middle and high. One of them was the children´s diary, first Mexican child publishing, which circulated between 1839 and 1840. In this magazine there were several articles of zoology from the instructive, exotic and curious perspectives in order to instruct children in a pleasant way. The objective of the research is to analyze the writings on the wildlife that were aimed at children from a narrative enjoyable and simple language. The study about the zoological spread has a great importance for understanding the ways in which infants of Mexico learnt scientific knowledge outside the classroom in a time when the primary schools had no science subjects. The above mentioned magazine established the bases to extend the capital scientific culture that was developed with strength in the second half of the century in different levels of instruction and in the informal education. It is probable that some of the Mexican scientists were discovering his scientific vocation in the writings of this magazine.

A mediados del siglo XIX en la ciudad de Mé-xico se desarrollaron varios proyectos de divul-gación científica en las revistas dirigidas a las clases media y alta. Uno de ellos fue el Diario de los Niños, primera publicación periódica mexi-cana infantil, que circuló entre 1839 y 1840. En esta revista se dieron a conocer varios artículos de Zoología desde las perspectivas instructiva, exótica y curiosa para instruir de forma amena a los infantes. El objetivo de la investigación es analizar los escritos, sobre la fauna, que estu-vieron dirigidos al público infantil desde una narrativa amena y un lenguaje sencillo. El es-tudio de la divulgación zoológica es de gran relevancia para comprender las vías en que los menores de edad de México aprendían conoci-mientos científicos fuera del aula en una época en que las escuelas de primeras letras carecían de asignaturas de ciencia. Dicha Revista puso las bases para ampliar la cultura científica capi-talina que se desarrolló con vigor en la segun-da mitad de la centuria en distintos niveles de instrucción y en la educación informal. Es pro-bable que algunos de los científicos mexicanos descubrieran su vocación científica en los escri-tos de esta Revista.  Sociedad de Historia de la Educación Latinoamericana y la Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia 2013-06-28 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf application/pdf https://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/historia_educacion_latinamerican/article/view/2297 10.19053/01227238.2297 Revista Historia de la Educación Latinoamericana; Vol. 15 No. 20 (2013): Dulce Maria Borrero; 275-293 Revista Historia de la Educación Latinoamericana; Vol. 15 Núm. 20 (2013): Dulce Maria Borrero; 275-293 2256-5248 0122-7238 spa https://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/historia_educacion_latinamerican/article/view/2297/2243 https://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/historia_educacion_latinamerican/article/view/2297/6778 Copyright (c) 2013 Journal History of Latin American Education
