IGLESIAS, Andrea. Was It Better in the Past? An Analysis of the Training and Performance of New Teachers and Their Output in Argentina's Graphic Press (2000-2013). RMIE [online]. 2015, vol.20, n.64, pp.123-151. ISSN 1405-6666.

In the current context of the reconfiguration of the Argentine educational system and the new policies for higher education, our purpose is to discover the ways the major national newspapers refer to new secondary school teachers. Our study is based on a corpus of articles from 2000-2013. Using an interpretative paradigm and an interdisciplinary perspective, we make a critical analysis of the press' constructions of teacher training and performance. The results indicate that the press makes little mention of the problematic situation of new teachers, while referring mostly to mistakes in their education and training. The observed intent is to include in the public agenda the state's duty to solve the structural problems of higher education.
