| Abstract | |
The aim of this doctoral thesis is to analyze textbooks used in teacher education that dealt with issues of teaching. They are referred here as pedagogic manuals and began to be published in the same period in Portugal and Brazil. The first edition found is from 1870 and other were produced during the next century, when these books had significant changes in their content and materiality. In this period the manuals presented a synthesis of the best of the bibliography used by educators. Their goal was to initiate students in the teaching job, gathering, in an easy and accessible way, the fundamental references to the work. Organized in this way, this knowledge supported the ways in which school was conceived, because it explained the characteristics of the various elements of its culture, including not only the role of the teacher, but also the organization of the school, students tasks and the methods of conducing a classroom. These aspects became a kind of teaching grammar, that spread to many regions of the world. This grammar was thought as the only imaginable way of schooling. Such an expansion was linked to the national and international circulation of knowledge, which was produced in several areas and times, and was used by the education professionals to build their own propositions on teaching. The logics of these processes of production and appropriation of ideas were examined here using the metaphor of the journey made by the references, when they were used in different places and moments. In another words, we show that the knowledge traveled through the pedagogic manuals when they quote authors and ideas found in another countries. That\'s the reason why, in this thesis, the references found in the manuals from Portugal and Brazil were examined and compared: trying to understand which information was selected and how they were used to build representations on the school. So, the history of pedagogic manuals built in this work dealt with the ways they produced knowledge and contributed to diffuse the schooling model among teachers. (AU) | |
