Abstract

The present investigation investigates historically the teaching of the means of communication in primary education in Minas Gerais, from 1925 to 1932, having as a research source the Revista de Ensino de Minas Gerais. He used as a theoretical-methodological reference of research for this study the Cultural History. The basic questions of teaching: how do the teaching of geometric knowledge show in relation to the conceptions of element and / or rudiment? And how about their skills in relation to the teaching of geometric knowledge in the period studied? The conceptions of element considered the knowledge more abstract, the knowledge by the knowledge, the tendency of reasoning, the rudiment, the more concrete knowledge, practical, the recovery of the experience, the essential teaching for the life. And the set of knowledges, contents, guidelines for the teacher are the elements of professionalism. The time cut of this research was 1925, 1932, because 1925 was a year of reactivation, with a considerable number of publications, and 1932 being the limit, since it was a year marked by the help of a new methodology program such as Normal Schools of 1º grade and 2nd degree, presented by the decree of 10,392, of June 30, 1932, by the state of Minas Gerais. This is a year from 1925 to 1932, from the solutions of printing companies, having reached a universe of 78 revolutions, being possible to emphasize for the primary education the emergence of new tendencies, such as Escolanovismo, which proposed educational reforms and the learning center of the student, as well as a strong presence of roots in the past, in the case of the intuitive method, which was based on the observation of things. This study is an instruction of geometrical patterns features ora elementary, or how to work with spatial forms in an intuitive way, using a notification to models from the soil and have their memorization and, and teaching and the teaches in The objectives of the lesson are the objectives of the student, learning each of the following objectives, valuing the rigor of the definitions. Nowadays it is rudimentary, when approaching teaching for the student's professional life, such as working flat shapes with the intention of making wipes, or exploring the concepts of perimeter and free-form area, without being attached to the rigor of concepts, but in a way practice for the student to use for their daily lives. And different elements of professionalism were identified for the teaching of geometric knowledge, such as the handling of clay and paperboard to work on the concepts of solids (including their planning), paper folding and drawing, for flat shapes, the observation of wooden objects and wire to develop the quadrilaterals, class visits to the house under construction, notions of perimeter and, among others.
