Abstract

We are immersed in a process of social-discursive construction of the new techno-educational environment, in which a group of social actors with conflicting interests and perspectives converge. This paper examines one of these social actors: the teachers unions, specifically FE-CCOO and ANPE. This first phase analyzes a total of 77 pieces of different kind in which the presence of 12 items was searched. This allows a first approach to the type of public discourse the unions deliver. Although the results show a very optimistic picture, it can be thought that it is due to the fact that most of the texts are written from a macro-overview, with vague formulations that do not descend to the level of the concrete and actual conflicts.
