BORGES, Angélica  and  TEIXEIRA, Giselle Baptista. Francisco Alves da Silva Castilho: a teacher in the invention of the 19th century Brazilian School. Cad. Hist. Educ. [online]. 2021, vol.20, e002.  Epub Jan 29, 2022. ISSN 1982-7806.  https://doi.org/10.14393/che-v20-2021-2.

In this article we analyze aspects of the trajectory of a court primary public teacher, Francisco Alves da Silva Castilho, who taught for approximately 38 years (1849-1887), in order to provide a reflection on the different roles played by teaching in the invention of the Brazilian school, from the nineteenth century, and the teaching profession. Castilho became the author of books, wrote in periodicals, participated in Pedagogical Conferences and associations that indicate different ways of insertion in society. The study uses the contributions of Antonio Nóvoa, Escolano Benito and Edward Thompson with regard to the process of teaching professionalization; the configuration of school history and teaching; and the concept of experience, to think about the constitution of the teaching trajectory. The investigation used handwritten documents from the Rio de Janeiro City General Archive, reports from the General Inspectorate of Education, textbooks and periodicals located at the National Library of Brazil.

Keywords : Teaching profession; Primary education; Brazil Empire.
