| Sumario: | The training of primary school teachers in teacher training colleges before the Second Republic was not comparable to the training of other professionals at the university. The poor training of primary school teachers had, in turn, an impact on the training of their students. During the first years of the Republic, an attempt was made to improve the education of the entire Spanish population, and to this end, the bar had to be raised in teacher training. For this reason, for those who already had the degree and were in a temporary situation, a selection process was devised to incorporate them into the civil service, an attempt to improve the system of competitive examinations. It was in this context that the educational reform promoted by the government of the Republic, which is the subject of this article, took place. The structure and content of the teacher selection workshops are presented in this paper, and the two editions (1931-1933) of these courses in Logroño are analyzed. The results offer an overview of how the workshops were organized. The administrative and pedagogical documents found present different data from each of the editions, which in some cases are incomplete, but allow us to establish an account that shows how they were organized and developed, how many teachers applied, who the speakers were and what the topics were, some of the visits and practical exercises, etc. In short, the details of what was done in the province of Logroño provide an example of how these workshops were developed in the rest of Spain.
