FERREIRA, Hevisley y SIQUELLI, Sônia Aparecida. Europeization: Progress and Brazilian education. Educ. Puc. [online]. 2019, vol.24, n.3, pp.477-495. ISSN 2318-0870. https://doi.org/10.24220/2318-0870v24n3a4397.
In this article, which is based on an exploratory bibliographical research with a qualitative approach, it ispresented the concept of progress in its various meanings, with its semblants and appearances, driven bythe questioning of how this progress has been presented in the Brazilian education in its formative period.Thus, the concept of progress is analyzed in order to reveal its many facets throughout history, with a specialemphasis on the positivist school of Comte, which was very influential in Brazil and whose thinking gave riseto the notion of order and progress that should guide the educational institutions in the country, accordingto its followers. It is then pointed out their intellectual bases, which were of solid positivist character, on whicheducation was built in the country. In the sequence, Adorno’s critical perspective on progress is approached,which allows us to historicize the concept and to see how it is inextricably linked to the very relations of powerthat underpinned its progressive diffusion in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
