Karl M Lorenz

A reforma educacional de 1855 proposto pelo Ministro Couto Ferraz marcadamente alterou o programam de ensino do Colégio de Pedro II, a instituição modelo do Império, por dividir-nos em dois ciclos: os Estudos de Primeira Classe e os estudos de Segundo Classe. O primeiro ciclo, de quatro anos, foi dirigido aos alunos que queriam terminar seus estudos e receber um certificado de conclusão que lhes daria o direito de ingressar em um dos institutos de formação técnica, sem prestar novos exames. Os alunos que continuassem o segundo ciclo, com duração de três anos, receberiam ao final do sétimo ano o …


Research For Existential Choice, Karen A. Hamblen Jan 1988

Research For Existential Choice, Karen A. Hamblen

Journal of Social Theory in Art Education

Chet Bowers (1984) has developed a theory of how a critical consciousness of our cultural typifications can be developed through an in-depth and elaborated understanding of aspects of a given situation or problem. In this paper, his theory is applied to the role research plays in art education. It is proposed that our existential choices in art education are directly proportionate to the amount and complexity of the research we have available and the extent to which we understand and can apply this research for specific purposes. The lack of research in essential instructional areas as well as the lack …
