SANTOS, Ademir Valdir dos. Ritualism and nationalization of the elementary school in Santa Catarina (1940s). Rev. Educ. Questão [online]. 2018, vol.56, n.49, pp.196-224. ISSN 1981-1802.  https://doi.org/10.21680/1981-1802.2018v56n49ID14462.

It aims to discuss ritualism as an aspect of the political and pedagogical organization of elementary schools in Santa Catarina in the 1940s. It analyzes rituals understood as part of a collective of practices and policies that aimed to forge in children civic-patriotic attitudes, with the use of the school at the service of nationalization. It is a documentary research based on the analysis of minutes and ritual programs produced in rural schools in a German immigration region, carried out through content analysis, using coding. The results show that rituals were ceremonies and celebrations celebrating historical dates and characters, whose nationalistic nature is revealed by hymns, singing, poetry, civic parade, Physical Education show, gymnastics, theater, games, plays, distribution of prizes and sweets. Results also indicate that they intended child formation according to republican thinking. And they wanted to inculcate devotion to homeland, generating, in the school, an atmosphere of ritualism to nationalize childhood.
