DALLABRIDA, Norberto. The birth of modern schooling: a comparison of two studies. Perspectiva [online]. 2004, vol.22, n.01, pp.93-110. ISSN 0102-5473.

This essay compares two historic sociological studies of contemporary schooling. The books choosen are “Production of school/production of society: socio-historical analysis of some crucial moments of the school evolution in the West”, by Andre Petitat, and “Archeology of the School”, by Julia Varela and Fernando Alvarez-Úria. Both studies identify a break between Medeival educational practices and modern schools, emphasize the productive function of the educational institution and its class character, but present a different interpretation of educational methods and gender inequality.

Keywords : Education; History; Educational Sociology; Petitat, André; Criticism and Interpretation; Varela, Julia; Alvarez-Uría, Fernando.
