| Abstrakt: |
This article analyzes texts referring to teaching methods, published from the 1930s to the 1950s, in «Revista de Educação», a periodical linked to the public administration of education in the state of São Paulo. Such texts, written by teachers, school principals and educational technicians, deal with the teaching of school subjects, presumably following methodological innovations, many of which are advertised as “escolanovistas”. The analysis focuses on some texts referring to literacy and calculus. In these three decades, a period that covers the life of this journal, the reach of innovations, their success or failure to achieve the intended, are differently estimated by the authors, but their perspectives are related to the functions they occupy in the structure of the educational system, with the place of speech and with interests arising therefrom.
