Abstract

RODRIGUES, Alexandra; NOVAES, Barbara Winiarski Diese  and  MATOS, José Manuel. School culture in conflict: professional schools and modern mathematics in Portugal. Rev. Diálogo Educ. [online]. 2016, vol.16, n.48, pp.381-402. ISSN 1981-416X.  https://doi.org/10.7213/dialogo.educ.16.048.DS06.

The article studies the transformations required in the late 1960s by Portuguese professional schools during the reform of modern mathematics. Firstly, the text describes the norms associated with Portuguese technical schools before the reform, drawing on founding legislation, manuals and teachers' articles. Secondly, the article details the debate that anticipated the introduction of the reform by using articles and opinions expressed during the preparatory courses, where pressures for change in the school culture from the new mathematics are visible. Finally, the experimental textbooks are studied.

Keywords : School Culture; Curriculum Development; Modern Mathematics; Technical and Vocational Education.
