A Reforma Francisco Campos e seus desdobramentos no ensino de história na Escola Normal Rui Barbosa (1931 – 1939)

Abstract

In this research, we analyze the teaching of History at Rui Barbosa Normal School in the city of Aracaju, SE, with a focus on the Francisco Campos Reform and its repercussions in the 1930s. The primary objective is to identify the historical aspects of the formation of this school group prior to the 1930s, based on the works of scholars who address this theme, and to identify aspects of History teaching. Furthermore, we investigate the school subjects of General History and Brazilian History, along with their educators at Rui Barbosa Normal School. To accomplish this study, the sources we sought were attendance registers and program syllabi of the subjects, as well as an analysis of teacher attendance registers and pedagogical program syllabi for the school subjects of Brazilian History and General History, which are available in the historical collection of CIERB. The theoretical framework for this work draws on Julia (1995) regarding "school culture," Bittencourt (2005) providing the basis for the school subject of history, and Gomes (1989) for understanding the government of Getúlio Vargas. This historiographical operation has allowed for a significant realization that there were developments in the teaching of History at Rui Barbosa Normal School, aligning the guidelines for history teaching with patriotic didactic practice.
