Description
Summary:The study analyzes a set of books on pedagogy, methodology and pedology for the training of primary school teachers printed from the second half of the nineteenth century to the 1920’s, in Portugal and Brazil. The goal of this study is to show how these publications disseminate knowledge that should be mobilized by teacher training school students. The universe of publications is seen as an area of social and cultural reception and dissemination of knowledge. The main interest is surveying how a given reality is perceived in pedagogical manuals, privileging one entry: the debate about the “methods of instruction”. This debate reflects important changes in the technical-pedagogical exercise of teaching and deals essentially with the proper execution of simultaneous teaching, that is, with the management of heterogeneity in the classroom.
