Abstract(s)

This chapter addresses the question of the appropriation of John Dewey’s pedagogical ideas in its relation to the study of communication networks and the thesis of diffusion-reception of educational knowledge in the luso-afro-brazilian space. It aims at the analysis of the interactions that took place between the Portuguese movement known as “Escola Nova”, the Brazilian “Escolanovismo” and the construction of colonial educational systems, in the early decades of the XX century. It tries to assess the results of projects undertaken during the last decade by Portuguese, African and Brazilian researchers in the field of educational history in comparative perspective. It tries to set development axis for comparative-history research in the lusophone space by identifying the educational transfers between Portugal, Africa and Brazil. It aims at clarifying John Dewey’s contribution towards the establishment of specialized educational knowledge.
