Normalista

I`m having problems finding a translation for the word above. The context is below:

En esta muestra participaron dos de la especialidad (historia), tres de formación básica y uno procediente de la antigua formación normalista.

History majors, elementary education majors, and another type which is now no longer used.

The training consited of training to be a teacher not at the university, but starting in highschool. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks alot.

Saludos.
