This article examines the professional trajectories of Silva Jardim (1860-1891) and Camillo Passalacqua (1858-1920) with the intent of analyzing and comparing their conceptions of education and teaching. We consulted the minutes of school council meetings, letters, reports and bylaws of the São Paulo Teacher Training School, as well as newspapers of the time and teachers’ publications such as Reforma do Ensino de Língua Materna (1884) by Silva Jardim, and Pedagogia e Methodologia (1887) by Passalacqua. We analyzed how these individuals appropriated elements of contemporary educational discourse, such as the precepts of gradual, rational, and intuitive teaching, to articulate them with quite different politico-philosophical and religious viewpoints. These differences are expressed in their writings, but also in their courses, and are visible, above all, in classroom materials adopted by each of those teachers.
