DALLABRIDA, Norberto and GUTIERREZ, Laurent. Travel impressions of Irene Mello Carvalho and Gildásio Amado about education in France in the 1950s. Rev. Bras. Hist. Educ [online]. 2022, vol.22, e199. Epub Dec 16, 2021. ISSN 2238-0094. https://doi.org/10.4025/rbhe.v22.2022.e199.
This article seeks to understand the travel impressions written by Irene Mello Carvalho, director of the Teaching Department at Getúlio Vargas Foundation (FGV), and by Gildásio Amado, director of the day school at Pedro II School, about schooling in France, especially secondary education, in the first half of the 1950s. These authors are considered cultural mediators, and their reports on pedagogical trips are understood as representations, that is, presentifications and constructions of the absent. From the places and institutional interests of their authors, the reports on pedagogical trips focus on different aspects of French schooling. In this way, while Irene highlighted secondary schools, Gildásio put the focus on the French education system.
Keywords : report on pedagogical trip; Irene Mello Carvalho; Gildásio Amado.
