It has as theme the reforms in Portuguese Language programs in late 19th and early 20th century, and, as subject matter of study, the Official Programs of the Curriculum of Portuguese Language from the years of 1882 to 1912 of the secondary course of Colégio Pedro II (RJ). The purpose of this work is to examine the Portuguese Language programs of the delimited period. Specifically: 1. to describe the Portuguese Language programs from 1882 to 1912; 2. to compare their similarities and differences. The study is theoretically based on the History of Linguistic Ideas. The material for analysis was selected from the work of Ariclé Vecchia and Karl Michael Lorenz, Programa de Ensino da Escola Secundária Brasileira (1850-1951). As regards the purpose, the results obtained indicated that, in the educational programs, the Brazilian historical and political moment is present in the composition of the Portuguese Language Programs, designed for Imperial Colégio Pedro II, under the influences of illuminist and scientistic trends. The description and comparison of these programs indicate constant changes, most of the time, similar in their extension and different in their content. It was concluded that the organization of the programs and their continuous reforms resulted in detriment to teaching and learning. Studying the organization of Portuguese Language programs of past times is relevant to re-think current educational practices. Notwithstanding, such studies need to be continued, as the investigation performed focused only on the Portuguese Language programs from 1882 to 1912 / Esta dissertação situa-se na linha de pesquisa História e Descrição da Língua Portuguesa. Tem por tema as reformas dos programas de Língua Portuguesa do final do século XIX e início do século XX, e, por objeto de estudo, os Programas Oficiais da Grade Curricular de Língua Portuguesa entre os anos de 1882 a 1912 do curso secundário do Colégio Pedro II (RJ). O objetivo deste trabalho é examinar os programas de Língua Portuguesa do período delimitado. Especificamente: 1. descrever os programas de Língua Portuguesa de 1882 a 1912; 2. comparar as similitudes e as dissimilitudes dos mesmos. A fundamentação teórica situa-se na História das Idéias Lingüísticas. O material de análise foi selecionado da obra de Ariclé Vecchia e Karl Michael Lorenz, Programa de Ensino da Escola Secundária Brasileira (1850-1951). Quanto ao objetivo, os resultados obtidos indicaram que, nos programas de ensino, o momento histórico e político brasileiro está presente na composição dos Programas de Língua Portuguesa, projetados para o Imperial Colégio Pedro II, sob a influência das tendências iluministas e cientificistas. A descrição e a comparação desses programas indicam constantes mudanças, na maioria das vezes, semelhantes na sua extensão e distintos no plano de conteúdo. Concluiu-se que a organização dos programas e as constantes reformas dos mesmos resultavam em prejuízo do ensino e da aprendizagem. O estudo da organização de programas de Língua Portuguesa de épocas passadas são relevantes para se repensar as práticas educacionais da atualidade. Não obstante, tais estudos precisam ter continuidade, pois a investigação realizada foi centrada apenas nos programas de Língua Portuguesa de 1882 a 1912
