Embasamento dos pressupostos psicopedagógicos do escolanista Faria Vasconcelos na pedagogia contemporânea

Abstract

The research, with historical and educational content, addresses the psychopedagogical assumptions of contemporary pedagogy in the thought of Faria de Vasconcelos, Portuguese schoolnovista, which were levers in the actions he performed in the context of the education of educators/teachers, in school/professional guidance and pedagogical rehabilitation of children/young people with learning difficulties. We used the analytical hermeneutic methodology to the content of this pedagogue's work (primary, secondary sources), based on the following objectives: to analyse the characteristics of contemporary pedagogy in Vasconcelos, knowing that this pedagogy demands strength in the 20th century. XX; to reflect the psychopedagogical assumptions mentioned by this schoolnovista, in which Pedagogy is founded on Paedology and which determines the constitution of the Vasconcelosian system. Structurally we approach 2 points of interpretative argumentation: Faria de Vasconcelos and the contemporary pedagogy of the time; the pedagogical principles based on paedology in relation to the scientific study of children and adolescents. We intend to contribute with our historiographical analysis, in the light of educational news, to the conception and (re)construction of the thought of this pedagogue, in the area of the History of Education, in Portugal.
