Educação primária em Campo do Brito : a “escola pública mista do povoado Garangau” (1914 – 1922)

Abstract

This monograph investigates primary education in the municipality of Campo do Brito/SE, with emphasis on the Escola Pública Mista do Povoado Garangau in the period from 1914 to 1922. This is a historical research of a qualitative and exploratory nature within the theoretical and methodological fields of the History of Education. To carry out this research, we carried out a bibliographic review and a documentary research. When analyzing the educational practices of the first schools in Campo do Brito, the research dialogues with the writings of Rosa Fátima de Souza (1998, 2008 and 2019); Diana Vidal (2000) and Cynthia Greive Veiga (2007), in an attempt to understand the historical and cultural aspects of education and recognize the role of primary education during the first republic in our country. Within the state of Sergipe, we dialogue with the studies of Edneia Regina Rossi (2017), Dilma Maria Andrade de Oliveira (2006) and Maria Thetis Nunes (2008). The research is based on the analysis of the following sources: Messages from the Presidents of the State of Sergipe and almanacs available in the digital collections of the Brazilian Digital Newspaper Library; EPMPG Daily Record Book (1919-1922), EPMPG Registration Book (1914-1922) and the Books of Outgoing Correspondence located in the Public Archives of the State of Sergipe. Thus, we analyzed the sources to understand the educational spaces of the municipality of Campo do Brito/SE. By studying the history of municipal public education as in rural schools, more precisely in the village of Garangau, we can see the developments of these institutions, including unknown characters in history, in addition to their valorization as historical heritage, since they played a fundamental role in the formation of part of the Campo Brito community.
