The books from which Victorian children learned to read last century held a variety of implicit social and moral values. To many children in isolated, pioneering districts of Victoria, the secular Reader was the principal source of information and ideas. The more advanced of the Irish and British Readers contained a huge variety of factual knowledge in combination with extracts from the best of English literature. Although these imported Readers underwent exclusions, adaptations and revisions, the content remained essentially foreign to colonial Australia, with a pervading moral stance originating in the high-minded intellectual and cultural traditions of Europe. Throughout the nineteenth century, there was undue emphasis on the mechanical aspects of grammar in the elementary school curriculum. In the minds of Victorian educators, the study of grammar was firmly linked with the cultivation of high ideals and an intellectual understanding of life. In reality, the grammar books were sensible and straightforward, but badly used by the poorly-educated teachers. The popularity and cheapness of the Irish and British grammar books prevented the adoption of a number of locally-produced texts. This thesis examines the changing content and use of school books during three distinct periods: the Irish monopoly, 1848-1877, the British phase, 1877-1896 and a National phase, 1896-1948. During the first phases, there were impressive local text-book publications, reflecting a desire for more local, relevant knowledge for Australian school children and a developing independence from the Home country. Most failed to secure official patronage and had limited circulation. The more successful ones attempted to meet the needs of new curriculum programmes, emphasising local knowledge relevant to colonial children.

This research aimed to put forth changes and continuities in the formation of the official history and its dissemination through education, with particular emphasis to history courses in high schools during the Early Republican Era with reference to the ministerial decisions, parliamentary discussions, history textbooks and also history and educational congresses held during Atat&uuml / rk and In&ouml / n&uuml / eras. 1930s for the Turkish Republic was a time span when the core principles of the regime were formulized to ensure that they were publicly comprehended and posesed. Correspondingly, formal and informal educational institutions were established for the dissemination of these principles, i. e. official ideology. Among them, Turkish History Association played an important role in formulation of official history which was one of the major means to install Turkish identity and a collective memory to the nation. In this respect, history courses and especially textbooks served instilling Republican understanding of history. The presidency of Ismet In&ouml / n&uuml / were the years when the regime was consolidated and intoleration to the opposing views was decreased. This also affected the official perception of history, by dissolving the clear break from the recent past and reconciling it with the modernization process of Ottoman-Turkish history while paying attention to the ccontinuities.

The objective of this diploma thesis is to characterize the image of Luxembourgs in the Czech history textbooks in the 19th and 20th century. The work is based on the assumption that the history education takes a significant part in making a young person's identity. The thesis describes the development of this image and the way in which the educational literature reflected the atmosphere of the day and its transformation in the context of historical development. The dynamic development of the image of the Czech history of 14th and 15th centuries is the central theme of the work. It will be mainly focused on the historical figures of Bohemian Luxembourg kings: John of Luxembourg, Charles IV, Wenceslaus IV and Sigismund of Luxembourg.

O dados foram coletados em fontes de diferente natureza, tais como Diários Oficiais da União, Diários do Congresso Nacional, Anuários do Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística, documentos do Ministério da Educação e Cultura, do Instituto Nacional do Livro e da Fundação de Apoio ao Estudante, e, ainda, reportagens dos jornais Folha de São Paulo, Jornal do Brasil, Diário de Notícias, Diário do Paraná, Correio da Manhã, A Luta Democrática, O Estado de Mato Grosso, Movimento e Fato Novo, assim como das revistas Veja e Realidade, e também em livros didáticos desse período. A partir do conceito de campo do sociólogo francês Pierre Bourdieu buscou-se responder as seguintes questões: Quais foram as condições históricas e sociais que permitiram a existência do campo do PLIDEF/INL? Quais foram as paradas em jogo que mobilizavam os agentes e as instituições envolvidos no campo? No decorrer do trabalho foi possível perceber que o campo do PLIDEF/INL se constituiu através das interações com o campo do poder político, literário e escolar. No que diz respeito à produção dos livros didáticos, foram coeditados novecentos e vinte e sete títulos entre os componentes curriculares de Linguagem, Matemática, Estudos Sociais, Ciências Naturais e Educação Moral e Cívica. Havia no PLIDEF/INL a predominância do componente de Linguagem, com aproximadamente 44% do total do número de títulos. Em relação à parceria público-privada, identificou-se a presença de trinta e seis editoras no programa, contudo, apenas nove (IBEP, Editora do Brasil, Abril Cultural, Companhia Editora Nacional, FTD, Tabajara, Bloch, e Vigília) representam mais de 70% do número de títulos coeditados. Ao que se refere às paradas em jogo observou-se a mobilização em torno de temáticas como o formato do programa, o preço e o modelo do livro didático adotado, a participação das Secretarias Estaduais de Educação e dos professores nas escolhas dos títulos coeditados e a distribuição dos exemplares nas unidades federadas. Os resultados da pesquisa também indicam que apesar do “problema livro didático” suscitar intenso debate no período, a presença deste artefato na escola brasileira era percebida como inquestionável. / This Master’s thesis aims to investigate the Textbook Program for Elementary Education of the National Book Institute (PLIDEF-INL), which worked through a coedition system of textbooks between the public and private sectors from 1971 to 1976. The data were collected in different sources, such as Government’s Official newsletters, National Congress newsletters, annals of the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics, documents issued by the Ministry of Education and Culture, the National Book Institute and the Student Support Foundation, besides articles published in newspapers (Folha de São Paulo, Jornal do Brasil, Diário de Notícias, Diário do Paraná, Correio da Manhã, A Luta Democrática, O Estado de Mato Grosso and Movimento and Fato Novo) and in magazines (Veja and Realidade) and in textbooks of this period. Based on French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu’s concept of field, this study sought to answer the following questions: Which were the historical and social conditions that enabled the field of the PLIDEF/INL to exist? Which were the contest at stake that mobilized agents and institutions involved in the field? The development of this study showed that the constitution of the field of the PLIDEF/INL was based on its interaction with the field of political power, literary and school. Regarding the production of didactic books, 927 books were published in the following syllabus components: Languages, Mathematics, Social Studies, Natural Sciences, Moral and Civic Education. The Languages syllabus predominated in PLIDEF/INL, because it represented approximately 44% of all published books. Concerning the partnership between the public and private sectors, it was identified the presence of thirty-six publishing houses in the program. However, only 9 out of 36 companies (IBEP, Editora do Brasil, Abril Cultural, Companhia Editora Nacional, FTD, Tabajara, Bloch and Vigília) represented around 70% of the published books. Regarding the contest at stake, there was mobilization towards some themes, such as the format of the program, the price and the model of the textbooks, besides the participation of the State Education Department and the teachers in the choice of published books and their distribution in Brazilian states. The research results also indicate that, despite the fact that the “problem of the didactic book” led to intense debate in that period, its presence in the Brazilian schools was considered unquestionable.
