Memórias e diálogos com a Educação Integral: o legado de Maria Yedda Leite Linhares (1983-1986)

Abstract

The present research aims to analyze the different political-pedagogical projects in dispute during the First Education Special Program, establishing relationships between pedagogical practices and educational thinking propagated among educators in the 1980s. The work has a memorialistic character, for understanding that memory should be revisited so that one can make inferences of actions and thoughts that have made and are part of historical time. As a delimitation of the research, the focus on memorial rescue was the management of Maria Yedda Linhares, as Rio de Janeiro secretary of education, important protagonist in the elaboration of the education Program. In a specific approach for historiographical studies, which it seeks an in-depth discussion of how education and the school institution may be historically thought in a social, political and economic context, it was decided to build a study of an educator / historian who fostered the rewriting of new pages in the Rio scenery, where was still under the tutelage of dictatorial and authoritarian laws. Throughout the thesis, it was observed that the management of Maria Yedda was marked by following the assumptions of Anísio Teixeira; she was an accomplice of Darcy Ribeiro in the act of thinking education for the popular classes; she was an enthusiastic historian of the French school; she had assumed the role of coping with clientelistic practices; she had respected and was a reference to social movements; she had composed a multidimensional team, imbued by the democratic school. As final considerations, the legacy of Maria Yedda Linhares for Rio de Janeiro education stands out: public schools as a space for social intervention; the redemocratization of the Rio de Janeiro education structure, the dismantling the old laws of dictatorship; democratic management, including dialogue with the community and with the categories; the valorization of education as a priority government project; The new structure of literacy in two years; Salary bonuses for literacy teachers; The expansion of school time
