Abstract

RODRIGUEZ, Margarita Victoria  and  FINOCCHIO, José Luiz. Abordagens sobre o estudo da inserção da gymnastica no ensino secundário do Brasil no século XIX. Acta Scientiarum. Education [online]. 2013, vol.35, n.01, pp.39-47. ISSN 2178-5201.

The article aims to discuss the methodological and theoretical assumptions of the academic production that focuses on the History of Education in Brazil under Pedro II's rule, with focus on the implementation of Gymnastics in Secondary Education. The paper considers the material base on which Brazilian society is constituted as a nation, as well as the social, political and ideological relations from which the educational proposals are developed, and which lie on the situation in which Gymnastics was established in Imperial education. In the academic production mapped, there are few studies that address the subject under a methodological approach based on the critical theory of totality. Most of the work is based on the new history. We conclude by reaffirming the relevance of the Marxist dialectical historicalcritical epistemology in order to deep the knowledge about man’s reality and their historical production, understood as a path under construction.

Keywords : Physical Education; Epistemology; History of Education.
