Background/Context: Considered one of the most influential educators in Brazil’s history, Anísio Teixeira is one of the renowned Latin American students who came to Teachers College (TC). Teixeira was a prominent reformer and educator known for advocating free, public, and secular education accessible to all children. His work as an educator and policy maker is closely related to the idea that schools are “machines that generate democracy.” Purpose/Objective: The article discusses how Teixeira’s education at Teachers College and his experiences within the U.S. schooling system shaped his conceptions of education and influenced how he aimed to reform the Brazilian public school. Research Design: The study is a historical analysis based on archival research and the works published by Teixeira on education and democracy. Conclusions: Brazil and the United States’ historical moment influenced how Anísio Teixeira lived his personal and academic experiences at Teachers College. While discussions on society and education in his home country revolved around establishing a new model, Teachers College welcomed international students who could promote values based on the example offered by the United States. The combination of those perspectives impacted how Teixeira perceived the centrality of democratic values on schooling practices and considered them central for the reforms he would implement upon returning to Brazil.

“…Tracking the flow of people, models, practices and pedagogical materials, among other elements of the educational universe, has been the methodological strategy for studies aimed at interpreting a variety of episodes in the history of education in Brazil (Rocha, 2020;Rabelo, 2016;Gondra & Mingnot, 2007) (Wagley & Wagley, 1970).…”

Taking school spaces as an interdisciplinary issue encompassing the fields of education, architecture, and urbanism/urban planning, this article gathers theoretical and technical references from among these disciplines throughout the first half of the 20th century in order to locate possible exchanges carried out by Anísio Teixeira while shaping his Park-school, Class-schools program. The argument rests on the reading of documents taken from a variety of circumstances in his career as an educational administrator, even though not necessarily produced by him. The aim is to encourage a debate regarding a Brazilian response to the international challenge of providing a spatial infrastructure consistent with a modern school program. Keywords: school space, modern architecture, urban planning, historiography, circulation of ideas, Anísio Teixeira

“…Thus, taking Alves and Rudolfer as a reference, this article intends to demonstrate the relationship that Brazilian educators developed with the American theories of education. Throughout this process, TC was a significant space of mediation between the Brazilian educators and the American professors and authors (Rocha, 2020;Warde, 2015Warde, , 2016b. Drawing from this assumption, this article is divided into five sections.…”

Background/Context: In Brazil, the 1920s and 1930s were characterized by initiatives intended to reform public school systems at the state level. As in the case of both educators whose work we analyze in this article, Brazilian educators traveled abroad searching for experiences that could help them think about the modernization of education in their own country. Some, like Isaías Alves and Noemy Rudolfer, advocated for using psychological tests in schools as part of the change. They translated and adjusted the foreign tests, which were given to primary school students during the 1930s. Focus of Study: Our work deals with the experiences of two Brazilians who visited Teachers College (TC), Columbia University, in New York, in 1930: Isaías Alves and Noemy da Silveira Rudolfer. Both coordinated services of applied psychology when they returned to Brazil: Alves in Rio de Janeiro and Rudolfer in São Paulo. Research Design: Our work develops a historical analysis of the use of psychological tests in Brazil through the experiences of these two educators. Conclusions/Recommendations: Using Alves and Rudolfer as a reference this article intends to demonstrate the relationship that Brazilian educators developed with the American education theories. Along this process, TC was a significant space of mediation between the Brazilian educators and the American professors and authors. Although TC played a substantial role in Rudolfer’s and Alves’s work, both took different approaches to local conditions. In doing so, they produced another knowledge, showing some of the possibilities open to Brazilian educators when they looked at American authors discussed by TC professors.
