O saber desenho no ensino primário a partir das Revistas do Ensino de Minas Gerais (1925 A 1932): sua concepção e as profissionalidades

Abstract

This research aims to understand and analyze historically the knowledge of drawing in primary education in the period between 1925 and 1932, using as a research source the pedagogical publication Revista do Ensino de Minas Gerais. The analyzed period corresponds to the introduction in Minas Gerais of the proposals Escolanovistas. The theoretical methodological reference is the Cultural history of mathematicsl education. The research was guided by the questions: how does drawing as knowledge show itself in relation to the concept of element or rudiment? What are the professional aspects that arose during the period of research? We consider the teaching process in the perspective of element when the mathematical knowledge has propaedeutic character, privileging the abstraction. In the conception of rudiments the mathematical knowledge has a utilitarian character in which concreteness is worked. The professionality, we consider as such the elaboration of knowledge to teach through the knowledge of teaching, the first refers to the profession of teacher and the second to mathematical content. We conclude that through drawing, concepts were constructed and fixed in a rudimentary conception, that is, it was sometimes used as a methodology or as a resource, both with the same purpose: to serve the practical life, which makes it a learning to teach, a component of teacher practice.
