Abstract

SASS, Odair  and  MINHOTO, Maria Angélica Pedra. Ensino secundário e psicologia na década de 1930: a perspectiva de Antônio Carneiro Leão. Rev. Bras. Hist. Educ [online]. 2012, vol.12, n.01, pp.193-219. ISSN 2238-0094.

The paper analyzes the organization of secondary education based on two works by Antônio Carneiro Leão (1887-1966): Tendências e diretrizes da escola secundária (1936) and Introdução à Administração Escolar (1939). It explores the hypothesis that the recurrence of psychology joins the demands of industrialization, as in his works Carneiro Leão criticizes education based on science knowledge, which leads to the spread of instrumental reason and the strengthening of industrial society ideology. Carneiro Leão’s propositions are linked to those that endorse the country modernization through science and education; vocational education based on work; new school principles; experimental psychology and active methods; nationalism and social and economic development within order (positivism and evolutionism).

Keywords : Secondary Education; Carneiro Leão; Psychology; Instrumental Reason; Ideology.
