Abstract

This research is about the History of the Grupo Escolar Professor Maciel based on the memories of its teachers (1956 1971). Thus, this study has as the main goal to analyze the process of installation and organization of the Grupo Escolar Professor Maciel on the context of social and educational problems of Paraibans. Yet, we have highlighted some constitutive elements about school culture that was being produced and experienced by teachers who were engaged within their school routine. We have adopted as main methodological approach the oral history, in which we accomplished our analysis from the memories of some teachers who taught there. However, we have crossed these depositions with other official and unofficial written sources, besides some photographs that were provided during the development of this research. We have analyzed all this information at the light of the references advocated by Le Goff (1994), Bosi (1994) and Alberti (2001). We concluded this research pointing out that the mentioned school was, for a few decades, an important elementary school institution in Itabaiana town.
