O, Jorge Ramos do  and  PAZ, Ana Luísa. FROM THE 16TH CENTURY UNIVERSITY OF PARIS TO THE WORLD: CURRICULUM AND METHOD IN PETRUS RAMUS. Hist. Educ. [online]. 2019, vol.23, e83768.  Epub Mar 07, 2019. ISSN 2236-3459.  https://doi.org/10.1590/2236-3459/83768.

We propose a historically situated discussion on the organization and administration, in western culture, of a specific knowledge of schooling characterized by the principles of order and uniformity and expressed in monographs - compendia and manuals - that was produced to exclusively circulate in educational institutions. This analysis reverts to Renaissance academia and the earliest debates on the urgency of developing a mechanism to systematize knowledge, a framework in which Petrus Ramus emerges as a conceptual persona. A seminal diagnosis based on the educational act as a double process was then developed: (i) the curriculum was to become an invariable that rationalizes all knowledge through the unification of disciplines in a single syllabus, whereas ii) the method came to mean the possibility of stabilizing and simplifying, assembling and grading, the totality of school contents.

Keywords : curriculum; method; Petrus Ramus; ramism; pedagogy in higher education.
