The article presents research that contributes to the history of education, with a focus on reflections on the theoretical and methodological issues that arise from the use of comparative study procedures, aimed at writing a particular curricular history, through the study of national curriculum documents. The research aimed to writing a particular curricular history, through the study of curriculum documents. The methodology used in this research is guided by explicit theoretical foundations, the comparison of areas and the investigative procedures that support the election of comparative study as a research method. By choosing the grounds, areas and procedures, we try to analyze the differences and similarities, to exploit them to the fullest to find out how they express themselves, to track the contents of the information in the context in which they are presented, to contextualize them, that is, to establish relations with the different situations in which a curricular history was/is produced.
