The present article studies the origins of the pedagogical thought of the Compañía de Jesus, the foundation of colleges and the unification of an educational model based on the formation of virtue trough the study and discipline, educating individuals for the government of the cities. The foundation of the Convictorio de San Francisco Xavier in Chile, had as its main objective the formation of missioners and predicators, but as the Jesuit ideal of virtue was both religious and secular, their classrooms were filled by the major nobility of creoles that pretended the government chairs. The persistence of the Jesuit model once they were expulsed, demonstrates the impact that it had in the formation of the society of creoles, by the promotion of an ideal of man that, as virtous and bound to a major political unity, was similar to the ideal of the republican citizen.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","class_list":["post-613424","tnc_col_612319_item","type-tnc_col_612319_item","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
