Abstract:
The objective of this research focuses on carrying out an analysis of the documentary production on consumer education in Spain from 1972 to 2019 focused on the Bannnister and Monsma taxonomy. For this, an analysis of the content of the documents and consumer education programs of the Municipal Consumer Information Offices is carried out. The research has a quantitative design and for the collection of information, a matrix of categories was used as an instrument to analyze 1859 documents belonging to the Educational Information Network, the National Library of the Ministry of Education and Science and the National Institute of Consumption, on the other hand, the questionnaire in on-line format that was sent to a sample of 847 Consumer Offices.
The instruments used are the category matrix, which is based on the Bannister and Monsma taxonomy, and the questionnaire that focuses on 2 categories: taxonomy and program data.
The results obtained show us that this topic is not currently of research or social interest. On the one hand, consumer education programs are no longer developed, and production is currently almost nil. Neither the themes developed in the production and programs analyzed, nor the research, respond to current needs, it is necessary to update and produce with the current situation of society at the moment.
Under this title, it is intended to alleviate this deficiency, identifying the different aspects in Spanish production; the factors that characterize consumer education and the behavioral focus toward which consumer education is directed.
