ROUSMANIERE, Kate. Historiografia da Educação Americana: pragmatismo, consenso, revisionismo e novo revisionismo. Rev. Bras. Hist. Educ [online]. 2014, vol.14, n.03, pp.269-306. ISSN 2238-0094.
This essay on the historiography of American education deals with the major themes and authors of foundational American historiography in the early twentieth century, and then more closely studies major developments in theory, method, and subject areas of the last thirty years. The essay centers on the historiography of American elementary and secondary education, and argues that in general, American historians of education have a pragmatic inclination, with an emphasis on empiricism, and are particularly conscious of directing their historical work towards contemporary educational problems. The essay concludes with recent theoretical, topical, and methodological developments in the field.
