ROSA, Maristela da  and  TEIVE, Gladys Mary Ghizoni. Catholic new school in pedagogical manuals by Everardo Backheuser (1934-1948). Educação. UNISINOS [online]. 2018, vol.22, n.3, pp.288-296.  Epub May 16, 2019. ISSN 2177-6210.  https://doi.org/10.4013/edu.2018.223.07.

From Pierre Bourdieu’s field conceptions and Roger Chartier’s conceptions of appropriation and representation, we characterize Backheuser’s educational project, represented by the Catholic New School expressed in Técnica da Pedagogia Moderna (1934) and Manual de Pedagogia Moderna (1948). In that respect, we interweaved these manuals, the Encyclical Divini Illius Magistri, of 1929, guiding text of Everardo’s pedagogical thought, and Manifesto dos Pioneiros da Educação Nova, of 1932, the seminal document of the New School movement in Brazil. In the field of struggle between Catholic and New School ideals of education, Backheuser emerged as a representative of a “third way” by proposing a comprehensive education crossed by Catholicism that represented his appropriation of the New School. This project shows the Catholic intervention in the configuration and diffusion of the New School and indications of a singular version of the New School thought that was disseminated among the primary teachers in the 1930s and 1940s.

Keywords : Catholic new school; pedagogical manuals; Everardo Backheuser.
