FONSECA, Maria Verônica Rodrigues da. The History of the Academic Discipline General Teaching at the National Faculty of Philosophy (FNFi) of the University of Brazil: a view from the archaeological studies. Educ. Rev. [online]. 2015, n.55, pp.229-246. ISSN 0104-4060.  https://doi.org/10.1590/0101-4360.39881.

The article brings the results from a study which focused on the history of the academic discipline General Didactics in the National Faculty of Philosophy (Faculdade Nacional de Filosofia - FNFi) at the University of Brazil in the period between 1939 and 1968. It aims to understand the discursive practice which was woven and let the referred discipline emerged and tuned into the core of teachers' initial preparation in Brazilian higher education, producing its own tradition as an integrated space of pedagogical studies. The research delves into the theoretical contributions of the field of Curriculum and more specifically, the studies in the History of Curriculum and History of Disciplines formulated by Ivor Goodson and Andre Chervel. To these references are added studies by Michel Foucault about the historical constitution of knowledge through a discourse concept and its emerging possibilities and production. Based on the document analysis, the study points that there are three statements that enable the need of discursive construction on Didactics as a discipline as essential knowledge to professors - the learning centrality, the scientific approach of education and of teacher training at the university level -,which were part of the pedagogical view in the 1920s and 30s and sought to answer the emergency posed by the new model of schooling in the face of Brazil's new political and economic organization in the 1930s. This is a particular discursive formation that is constituted in relation to the psychological discourse of education - which focused on learning - and in this interdiscursive process, it aimed teaching as forming a pair with the action of learning.
