SANTOS, Ademir Valdir dos. German schools in Santa Catarina and their transformation into teuto-brazilian schools: an historical analysis. Acta Scientiarum. Education [online]. 2014, vol.36, n.02, pp.233-242. ISSN 2178-5201.

Current research investigates the establishment of educational institutions in the wake of European migration to Brazil. The study focuses on the rise and on the transformations of schools in the German immigration settlement area in Santa Catarina between 1897 and 1930. Research is based on such documents as the reports of the Hanseatic Colonization Company, legislation and published material. Results indicated that the emergence of schools was due to the initiative of the immigrants and to the settlement company involved. The schools’ pedagogical characterization was marked by a European curriculum and use of German. Gradually another type of formation started replacing the older one. It was focused on regionalism and the compulsory use of the Portuguese language. The condition of German schools based on ethnic-oriented social relations linked to German-European culture were being oriented to teaching ideas based on technology and on the Brazilian government´s guidelines for more Brazilian- directed features that eventually generated a new identity, or rather, a German-Brazilian identity
