Abstract

This study is focused on the conception, performance and receipt of educational radio programs broadcasted within the period between 1935 and 1950, and particularly the following: Viagem através do Brasil, conceived by Ariosto Espinheira and broadcasted by Jornal do Brasil Radio, Tapete mágico da Tia Lúcia, created by Ilka Labarthe, and Biblioteca do ar and Ouvindo e aprendendo, created by Genolino Amado and initially broadcasted by Mayrinck Veiga Radio and, subsequently, by the National Radio. The authors of such programs were radio educators from Rádio Escola Municipal (PRD5), who combined educational principles to the dynamic format of commercial attractions. The purpose was not only to examine the career of these radio educators, but also their concepts on education through radio, their tactics to conquer space at the program scheduling of commercial broadcasting companies, as well as the several forms of receipt of their productions. Drafting such study required the location, classification and interpretation of both written and oral sources, such as official notices, books, journals, letters from listeners, scripts and programs records, which are available at the Museum of Image and Sound, at Rui Barbosas House, at the Brazilian Academy of Letters, at the Brazilian Association of Education, of the National Library, at the Society of Friends of the Ministry of Education and Cultures Radio, at the Regional Library of Glória, at the National Records, and at the Center of Memory of the National Radio. The research was structured in five chapters. The first one focused the study of the first experiences of Brazilian intellectuals with radiophony, as well as the disputes involving the implementation of education through radio throughout our country. The second chapter examined the discussions on the content of radio programs that was deemed as educational, during the process of commercial enhancement, still at the 30ths; within this context, we referred to the disputes, as well as to sociability nets built around the pedagogical broadcasting, which were promoted by the Brazilian Confederation of Radio, founded in 1933, under the leadership of Elba Dias and Roquette-Pinto; we also analyzed the foundation of Rádio Escola Municipal (PRD5), which occurred during the following year. The third chapter addresses the content prepared for broadcasting of Biblioteca do ar, Ouvindo e aprendendo, Viagem através do Brasil and Tapete mágico da Tia Lúcia. At the fourth chapter, we present a study of the ways of performance of such programs. At the fifth chapter, we studied the forms of receipt of said programs under two perspectives: the technical conditions and the ways of interference thereof at the listeners routine. This research is intended not only to contribute with new visions of history of education through radio, but also to improve the understanding on the role played by radio educators in the history of Brazilian radio.
