CHILDHOOD EDUCATION IN PEDAGOGIUM RN MAGAZINES (1940 – 1950)

Abstract

The text offers a contribution to the history of Education, bringing the main ideas of a pedagogical print and its importance of preservation and memory for future researchers. From this perspective, the article aims to analyze the theme of early childhood education published in articles in Pedagogium magazines between the 1940s and 1950s. In view of this, were the conceptions about Kindergarten, an institution for early childhood education, known in Rio Grande do Norte? As a methodological approach, we used document analysis of articles published in this journal and carried out a bibliographical research on the applicable topic. The printed numbers found were digitized and placed in the Repository of History and Memory of Education - RHISME CE/UFRN, as memory preservation spaces are of fundamental importance for the constitution and maintenance of historical and educational heritage. We selected the child, childhood, Kindergarten and Preschool (nomenclature used at the time) as categories of analysis. Finally, we present the view of the authors of the articles published in Pedagogium about the discussions that were held about Kindergarten and Preschool during the period studied.
