The discipline of art history has a specific subject in the last year of post-compulsory secondary education but not in the case of compulsory education, where it is taught in connection with the contents of history. This is important because for many students it will be the last time to study artistic contents in their period of compulsory education. Given the importance of arts education in the integral development of people, the aim of this paper is to determine the relevance and nature of the art history contents present in exams in ESO (compulsory secondary education), the different periods and artistic expressions assessed, and the cognitive skills required inthis kind of exams. We have analyzed the regional legislation of Murcia and different exam types (partial, final, etc.) for the Social Sciences subject, and Geography and History, in 1st, 2nd and 4th years of ESO. The results indicate that the exams do not give the relevance to the contents of art history that the legislation established for ESO, which were quite vague in the first place, focusing on conceptual elements and memory capacity.

This paper seeks to initiate a reflexion on education as another way of thinking of the May 1810 revolution in Argentina. Such a goal requires returning, among other things, to the objectives of the May Revolution, which were the principles intended for education, what kind of knowledge and skills were believed to be necessary, which was the relationship between education and change and what were the philosophical, political and pedagogical educational paradigms of that time. The insistence of some of the "men of May" about the new government to be based on an also new citizen made them rethink education, in order to ensure the people's access to revolutionary ideas with which they intended to found a new order, and perhaps a nation.
