Modelos para a formação de professores nas páginas do Teachers College Record (1900-1921)

Abstract

This article aims to characterize the teacher training models put into circulation by the Teachers College of Columbia University, headquartered in New York, in the early decades of the 20th century. The documentary source used in the article is the periodical Teachers College Record, which used to serve the purposes of disseminating the work developed in the institution and contributing to the construction of its academic reputation. Issues related to "how to teach" formed the axis of this analysis, on which it was possible to detect the intermingling of the teaching, methodological and political objectives that supported proposals for changes in procedures and in conceptions towards teacher training.
