CASTRO, Cesar Augusto. The brazilian educational legislation as source to the history of primary instruction in the state of Maranhão. Cad. Hist. Educ. [online]. 2017, vol.16, n.1, pp.30-44. ISSN 1982-7806. https://doi.org/10.14393/che-v16n1-2017-4.
The Brazilian educational legislation constitutes an important tool of investigation in the field of the history of education by enabling a broad and fertile understanding of the educative movement in a certain time and place. The aim of this article is to understand the use of this source as a resource for research on the primary education in the State of Maranhão in the last decades of the Imperial period and in the beginning of the Republican Period. It discusses the economic, political, and social process, which have contributed to the creation and expansion of educational institutions and several educative reforms, which aimed for the development of the State of Maranhão by means of instruction. The conclusion is that the legislation reproduces managers’ desire to insert the Province or the State in the ideas of progress and modernity of education in force in Brazil.
