The Standardization Of Scientific Terminology And The Teaching Of The Natural Sciences In Nineteenth-Century Brazil: The Contribution Of Benjamin Ramiz Galvão [A Padronização Da Terminologia Científica E O Ensino Das Ciências Naturais No Brasil Oitocentista: A Contribuição De Benjamin Ramiz Galvão], Karl M. Lorenz

Karl M Lorenz

During the nineteenth century, and the first years of the twentieth century, science textbooks and science teaching in the faculties of medicine and engineering and in the secondary schools of Brazil were characterized by the lack of a standardized scientific terminology. The rules governing the orthography and prosody of many scientific terms in the life, physical and earth sciences were inconsistent. The paper examines this phenomenon and recounts the first significant attempt to standardize scientific terminology in the Portuguese language by the Brazilian philologist, Benjamin Franklin Ramiz Galvão.
Durante o século XIX e os primeiros anos do século XX os …


Schooling And The “Hygienization” Of Less-Privileged Children In Brazil, 1870-1900, Karl M. Lorenz, Ariclê Vechia, António G. Ferreira Jul 2008

Schooling And The “Hygienization” Of Less-Privileged Children In Brazil, 1870-1900, Karl M. Lorenz, Ariclê Vechia, António G. Ferreira

Karl M Lorenz

The movement to broaden educational opportunities for the large number of urban and rural children was widely supported by influential groups within Brazilian society in the late 1800s. These proponents sought to articulate a theory of education that would guide them in their efforts. Several phenomena interacted towards the end of the century to influence Brazilians in this regard. Among these were the prevalence of disease and pestilence, the unhealthy conditions of urban centers, inadequate public and private schools, and a growing propensity to entertain racist themes. This paper explores how these phenomena contributed to a view that the intellectual, …

Karl M Lorenz

O trabalho analisa a influência do Positivismo no ensino de ciências no Ginásio Nacional, antigo Colégio de Pedro II, fundado em 1837 no Rio de Janeiro, como modelo para as instituições secundárias em todo o país. Com a proclamação da República em 1889, e a subsequente reforma educacional do Ministro Benjamin Constant em 1890, o currículo do colégio foi profundamente marcado pelas ideias positivistas de August Comte, e de modo particular, o ensino de Ciências. Uma análise dos programas de ensino cientifico adotados no referido Ginásio, de 1890 a 1900, demonstra que os mesmos foram organizados seguindo uma forma remanescente …

A Escola Alemã Versus As Políticas Educacionais Nacionais Na Primeira Metade Do Século Xx: Transformando Imigrantes Alemães Em Cidadãos Brasileiros [The Deutsche School Vs. National Educational Policies In Early Twentieth-Century Brazil: Transforming German Immigrants Into Brazilian Citizens], Karl M. Lorenz, Ariclê Vechia, António G. Ferreira

Karl M Lorenz

Durante a segunda metade do século XIX e as primeiras décadas do século XX, imigrantes alemães estabeleceram colônias em áreas poucas povoadas nos estados no sul de Brasil. Este grupo étnico criou comunidades que mantiveram suas tradições europeias. Central à este fenômeno foi a “Deutsch Schule”, uma instituição educacional que representou e transmitiu os valores e a cultura da comunidade imigrante. Este trabalho discute a origem e o funcionamento do Deutsch Schule, que tipicamente existia no sul de Brasil, e as medidas tomadas pelo governo brasileiro de impôr às escolas o padrão educacional brasileiro no período de 1937 -1945.

Los Límites De La Autonomía Universitaria, Imanol Ordorika

Imanol Ordorika

Uno de los resultados políticos de los conflictos que tuvieron lugar a lo largo de los años setenta, los cuales marcaron de cierta forma la pauta para las relaciones entre la Universidad y el gobier- no para la siguiente década, fue el refuerzo de los vínculos entre el gobierno federal y los grupos dominantes en el seno de la Universidad. En este contexto es posible señalar, contrariamente a lo que afirman Levy y otros, que durante los ochenta la intervención gubernamental en los asuntos políticos, académicos y económicos de la Universidad se hizo de forma más encubierta, pero su influencia …
