This study uses both quantitative and qualitative measures to analyze the degree to which the orthodox Christian worldview of students influences their environmental attitudes and beliefs. Surveys were conducted with 281 undergraduate pre-service elementary teaching students enrolled in a science methods course to determine the degree to which orthodox Christian worldviews and ecological worldviews interact with one another. From this pool of students, 16 …

Este trabalho examine o papel do currículo do Colégio Pedro II na modernização do ensino secundário no Brasil de 1837 a 1889. O trabalho argumenta que o Governo Imperial seguia duas linhas de ação para alcançar este objetivo. Primeiro, introduziu no Colégio modelos curriculares e conteúdos nas disciplinas parecidos a aqueles encontrados nas melhores escolas Europeias. Segundo, implementou legislação que induzia as escolas secundárias a adotar o currículo do Colégio.
