OLIVEIRA, Marco Aurélio Gomes de and LUCENA, Carlos Alberto. The presence of the new school ideology in the first decades of the 20th century in Russian education after the socialist revolution: adapting or overcoming educational ideas and practices?. Cad. Hist. Educ. [online]. 2022, vol.21, e083. Epub Sep 13, 2022. ISSN 1982-7806. https://doi.org/10.14393/che-v21-2022-83.
This work aims to analyze the possible theoretical contributions of the New School ideology for the construction of the socialist pedagogy in Soviet Russia at the beginning of the 20th century. Then, we have the challenge of locating in time and space the reflections on the school, the change in the cultural and political mentality of the population, the social, political and economic organization of Soviet Russia. In this work, we present a theoretical approach to the contributions of the New School ideology based on the Deweyan framework, especially its observations in loco of the Soviet educational experiences in the year of 1928. By highlighting the existing approximations between the pedagogical principles defended by active pedagogy, of liberal inspiration, with the writings of Russian educators and Soviet statesmen, we analyze the contradictions placed in the historical context and question some certainties and convictions that we have about the “originality” of the pedagogical proposals arising from the Russian Revolution.
