Educação e trabalho para meninos desvalidos: um estudo sobre o patronado agrícola de Bananeiras (1924-1947)

Abstract

This study addressed the process of creating and educational paths taken in Agricultural Employers of Bananeiras, and the helpless child's condition that was entering the institution, between the years 1924 and 1947. We seek, through the raised sources, to trace the trajectory from Learning to Employers, highlighting the characters, primary education, work in the workshops, the practice of scouting, the Swedish gymnastics and agricultural education as an expression of social relations and power locked to articulate a systematic rural teaching model, involving education and productivity at the time. Based on this temporality, we use laws, decrees, regulations, crafts, among other sources in order to highlight the role dispensed to training for the world of work within the educational process, tending to a pragmatic style education to the poor children of the region. The theoretical and methodological bases substantiate the principles of the history of educational institutions (MAGALHÃES, 2004) according to which the structures of educational institutions are inseparable from a certain historical temporality.
