Background: In a society increasingly marked by the logic of contemporary capitalism, education becomes an instrument for the reproduction of alienated labour forces. Objectives: To provide an overview of the characteristics of subjectivity and attitudes of the postmodern subject based on the studies of Fredric Jameson and David Harvey; unveiling the development of techniques for producing more effective ways of subjecting the company culture to neoliberal rationality described by Pierre Dardot and Christian Laval and their influences on the formation of contemporary identities; reflect on the role of education, in particular of scientific education, in overcoming the state of alienation brought about by the capitalist system of neoliberal societies. Design: Articulation between exploratory and bibliographic research, articulated with the theoretical frameworks of Paulo Freire’s critical theory and pedagogy.  Settings and Participants: Given the typology of the research carried out, articles, books and documents about the capitalist system in neoliberal societies, the educational legislation and Paulo Freire’s pedagogy. Data Collection and analysis: Critical reflection on the texts consulted and included in the research. Results: There is a relationship between the subjects constituted from the marketing logic and the role of the school as a reproducer of mechanisms of subjugation to the hegemonic capitalist system; there is also the business and industrial influence in the development of educational policies throughout the history of education. Conclusions: As a possibility of transforming this scenario of alienation from the educational system to hegemonic power, the Freirean conception of emancipatory critical humanist education is presented, in addition to the reproduction of capitalist logic, based on the awareness of subjects based on dialogical pedagogy and the appropriation of the scientific knowledge as a transformer of reality.

The question in 1898 of the recognition by Cambridge University of St Edmund's House, a Roman Catholic foundation, might initially seem to involve questions irrelevant in the modern university. It can, however, be seen to raise issues concerning modernity, the place of religion in the university and the role of the university itself. This article therefore sets this incident in university history in wider terms and examines the ways in which the recognition of St Edmund's House was a chapter in the history of liberalism, in the history of Roman Catholicism, in the history of education and in the history of secularism.

We seek to understand the medical orientation to promote hygienic education in the João Barbalho school, a structure created to be the model of a republican school institution in Pernambuco. The period covers the creation of the Group and the process of expansion of these institutions in Pernambuco. Required documents, reports of school groups, educational legislation, and hygiene theses of the studied period were analyzed. This research is based theoretically and methodologically on the assumptions of cultural history, and studies related to the history of education in Brazil. We perceive that Pernambuco school groups were formed late compared to groups from other Brazilian states. To ensure the proper functioning guidelines, should be followed: the practice of physical education, anthropometric examinations, and intelligence tests to establish the profile of students for the constitution of homogeneous classes intellectually, physically and racially.

Throughout the centuries the role of tutors was of great significance since by staying in homes of their pupils not only did they educate but by the direct relation between a master and an apprentice, based on friendship and mutual trust, which initiated honest discussion, they influenced to a great extent the shaping of their pupils` personalities…

Since man is a man, history has been responsible for showing the progress of life in society and, analyzing the foundations of education, one can understand the advances and setbacks in the segments that support it. One must remember the importance and meaning of education to realize it”s contribution to people in particular and to humanity in general. For women, education is a great example of building for citizenship. Female empowerment and its entire universe overlap with the history of education, with the infinite property through the consolidation of social struggles and female resistance to what was imposed by society. The march of women made the role of education multiply in the face of more varied realities, whether in the rural environment or in the urban environment, in the most different spaces. It is known that the motivation for the search for knowledge in the circumstances in which women lived in the past was decisive for being the provocateur of women's empowerment, because it is a right for all, in the journey of the whole social force, family, religion, politics, culture, and work. In what was proposed by the advent of the role in the life of women, it is perceived that the force linked to power, wanting to learn have become more accessible to women and this development throughout life marks the vicissitudes that education manifested in the life of each individual.

This chapter explores the history of ideas about intervention in family, highlighting attempts to shape children's upbringing for the sake of the nation's future. A consistent and influential idea has been that undesirable attitudes and actions, and the propensity for deprivation, are transmitted down the generations through the way that parenting shapes children's minds and brains. The chapter considers the relationship between interventions designed to address fears about the state of the nation in the form of poverty, crime, and disorder, and understandings of the role of parents and families as they link to shifting emphasises of the capitalist system across time.

The author wrote this essay during the 1950s for the Ford Foundation's Fund for the Advancement of Education, which at that time was encouraging historians to take a fresh look at history of education. Intended to stimulate discussion within the Fund's Committee on the Role of Education in American History, the essay,here condensed, was never published. In his attempt to broaden the range of research concerns for educational historians, Professor Storr explored the meanings of education as it contributed to the making of the American character. The author was asked to add commentary, set here in italics to distinguish it from the original text. Storr's reflections arc as pertinent to scholarship today as they were to the revitalization of history of education twenty years ago.

ResumoO presente artigo explora o papel dado a arte nos Programas experimentais para o Curso Primário e Pré-primário, implantados no Estado do Paraná pelo educador paranaense Erasmo Pilotto. O recorte da pesquisa explora os anos de 1950 a 1952, período que corresponde à atuação do intelectual no cargo de Secretário Estadual de Educação e Cultura do Paraná. Nessa posição, Pilotto pode aliar as ações realizadas no campo educacional e artístico, integrando a arte e a educação e enfatizando o papel da primeira no que chamou de formação de uma cultura geral da criança e do professor, concepção que foi tônica de suas propostas pedagógicas, sistematizada em diversas obras escritas entre as décadas de 1940 e 1980. Para alcançar os objetivos propostos, esta investigação se apoiará na teoria praxiológica de Bourdieu que permitirá analisar a interação das ações de Pilotto nos diferentes campos: educacional, artístico e político.Palavras Chave: História das Práticas Educacionais; História da Educação; Ensino de Arte; Currículo Escolar.The place of art in school curriculum: an experimental analysis of programs for pre-primary education in primary at Paraná (1950-1952) Abstract This article explores the role given to Arts in experimental programs for Primary and Pre-Primary school courses, developed in the State of Paraná by the Paraná’s educator Erasmus Pilotto. This research pictures the period of 1950 to 1952, which corresponds to Pilotto’s action as Paraná’s Secretary of State for Education and Culture Affairs. In this position, Pilotto could combine activities in both educational and artistic fields by emphasizing the role of Arts in the construction of children and teacher general culture, conception that was the main focus of his pedagogical proposals, presented in several of his works written during the years of 1940 to 1980. To achieve its proposed objectives, this investigation will rely itself in the Bourdieu's theory of practice that will allow an analysis of the interaction from Pilloto’s actions in many fields such as: educational, artistic and political.
