Ensino de História e avaliação no ensino secundário paulista no contexto das inovações educacionais (1957-1969)

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the evaluative practices in History in two renewed experiences of secondary education in São Paulo: Colégio de Aplicação da Universidade de São Paulo and Ginásio Vocacional Oswaldo Aranha, since their foundation – 1957, in the case of Colégio de Aplicação, and 1962, in the case of Ginásio Vocacional Oswaldo Aranha – until their extinction (1969, in both cases) and their relation with curriculum and evaluation proposed to regular schools, in a context of constant discussion and legislation changes, introducing deployments to the understanding of evaluation. In this way, to point the conceptions and ways of evaluations, it was necessary to recover, indirectly, the norms present int the legislation and official programs, but also the pedagogical reviews. This work also tried to verify, in the institutions documentation, composed by reports, texts to study and discussion, exercises, evaluations and forms, the evaluative methods and their articulation with the renewed proposes for education. The hypothesis is that the evaluative practices developed in the renewed experiences questioned the present culture of evaluation in regular schools that emphasized, mainly, the memorization of contents objectifying higher education. The crossing of various sources allowed comprehend the renewed experiences not as punctual and isolated, but in close dialog with educational system they were part of, invariably. Besides the contradictions that revealed tensioning between the disciplinary traditions and the renewed ideas, the negotiation with authorities, daily practices and discussions about curriculum and evaluation, participation in symposium and publications, constantly reflection and modification of their own conceptions and practices, demonstrates a attempt of overcoming of instructional form e the concern with learning methods, presenting therefore a penetration and repercussion in the educative practices, despite the many times frustrated attempts of extension of the experiences
