BAIAN EXPERIMENTAL CLASSES AND THE CHALLENGE OF CURRICULAR PARADIGMS: from the mathematics program to educational practice in the 1960s and 1970s. Rev. Exitus [online]. 2019, vol.9, n.5, pp.243-270.  Epub June 11, 2020. ISSN 2237-9460.  https://doi.org/10.24065/2237-9460.2019v9n5id1107.

The experimental classes in Bahia, were part of the modernization project of teaching developed during the 1960s and 1970s. Coordinated by CECIBA during a Military Dictatorship in Brazil, they fulfilled an important goal of disseminating a more innovative teaching (Mathematics) proposal, especially in the which concerns content and teaching methods used. The experiments carried out in different schools in Salvador have been used to test new programs and teaching strategies, mobilizing knowledge to teach and for teaching (HOFSTETTER; VALENTE, 2017) in that context of pedagogical experimentation. These knowledges, mainly coming from teacher improvement courses offered by CECIBA, were analyzed from the narratives provided in semistructured interviews provide by teachers and students involved in the experience of Luiz Pinto de Carvalho State College. We intend to discuss in this article, therefore, how the Bahian experimental classes, constituted by an initiative of curricular transformation from the institutionalization of Mathematics Modern, represented a period of advances in teaching (of Mathematics) with important repercussions in the life of the characters involved. It’s a qualitative research that takes as reference the perspective of cultural history of Chartier (1990), allied to the concept of solidarity (RORTY apud ASSIS, 2013) and the ideia of experience (LARROSA, 1994).

Keywords : Experimental classes; Curricular innovation; Modern math.
