Resumen:
The classes of Pellegrino Strobel at theUniversity of Buenos Aires mark the beginning of geological teaching in Argentina.In these years six stages can be recognized. The first is a pioneering stageinitiated by Strobel in 1865, culminating with Eduardo Aguirre who teachesgeology from 1878 to 1906. The second stage  consolidates teaching with EnriqueHermitte, who forms the first professionals who served the country in differentdisciplines and supervises the thesis of the first geologist graduates. Thethird stage marks the beginning of geological research, led by Juan Keidel andPablo Groeber. It marks a change in teaching and research with the doctoralthesis in 1933 of Horacio J. Harrington of excellent scientific level.Harrington as director of the Institute of Geology of the University and as ateacher was one of the best Argentine geologists of the first half of thetwentieth century. The military coup in 1955 marks the beginning of the fourthstage led by Felix González Bonorino characterized by a more solid education indifferent disciplines and modern curriculum. He had quality professors, withteachers trained abroad and foreigners, who taught disciplines underdevelopedin the country. The years between 1966 and 1984 were marked by their opacity,with some exceptions such as the development of paleomagnetism by DanielValencio and his disciples. The last stage starts with the return to democracy,with open and unrestricted educational contests, which allow gradually reachingthe present level of development.
