TEIVE, Gladys Mary Ghizoni. In situ et de visu: a formação de professores(as) em Santa Catarina na vigência da reforma Orestes Guimarães (1911-1930). Roteiro. UNOESC [online]. 2012, vol.37, n.02, pp.383-400. ISSN 2177-6059.

In 1911, under the leadership of professor Orestes Guimarães, of São Paulo, the Escola Normal Catarinense (Normal School of Santa Catarina) was reformed according to the tenets of modern pedagogy, as with the Escola Normal de São Paulo, in 1891( NB: In Brazil, Escola Normal is a teacher-training course, part of secondary education, that prepares teachers for teaching in primary schools). Following the principles of the intuitive method of teaching, then considered the state of the art modernising teaching method, the prospective teachers should learn the art of teaching intuitively: watching, observing how children were instructed and educated in the municipal schools, which were adequately equipped to provide a good teaching model. The Normal School should ensure the mastery of the contents of the various areas of knowledge: history, geography, arithmetics, Portuguese language, etc., but the method, i.e., the “how to” teach, should be learned through the observation of experienced teachers. In situ et de visu - this was the formula to teach the modern teachers to teach intuitively. How was this done? How was the students’ practice done? How was it evaluated? These and other questions are brought up in this study, which is based on documentary and bibliographical research and on testimonies of teachers graduated from the Escola Normal Catarinense between 1910 and 1930.
