Abstract

SILVA, Maria Célia Leme da. Appropriations of José Augusto Coelho's geometry in the training of primary teacher in Brazil and Portugal (passage of the 19th and 20th centuries). Rev. Bras. Hist. Educ [online]. 2023, vol.23, e250.  Epub Jan 15, 2023. ISSN 2238-0094.  https://doi.org/10.4025/rbhe.v23.2023.e250.

In this article, we problematize the appropriations for the teaching of geometry developed by José Augusto Coelho, in the turn of the 19th to the 20th century, in Brazil and Portugal. We mobilized pedagogical manuals from Portugal, regulations and research on the training of Portuguese and Brazilian teachers, for analysis, dialogue and comparison of sources. As conclusions, we emphasize that the divergences and tensions between the approaches of the ‘knowledge to teach’ and ‘knowledge for teaching’ contribute to elucidate the appropriation of Coelho in the training process of teachers in both countries. The expansion of the analytical process to include other disciplines that participated in the training of primary teachers, such as Drawing, allows a better understanding of the professional knowledge in question, whether in the context of Portugal or Brazil.

Keywords : José Augusto Coelho; history of school geometry; intuitive method; pedagogy manuals.
