STUDY ABOUT RAILWAY COURSES BETWEEN 1940 TO 1960 FROM RAILWAY MAGAZINES

ABSTRACT:

A series of blanks in the historiography and even documentation were found while studying the conception, implementation and extinction of the railway-related courses on professional education in São Paulo from the beginning of the 20th century until the years of 1960. It is noticeable that these courses brought a new experience to the education of the laborers, since they were managed and funded by industrial and state departments. The professional capacitation was no longer a private initiative's sole responsibility, receiving support from the government. This article, beyond bibliographical research, presents reading and analysis of the legislation and articles published by "Revista Nossa Estada" and "Revista Ferroviária" about the subject. The article presents contributions to the studies about the formation of railway workers about railways since the extinction of CFESP, showing the importance of the railway-related periodicals for the comprehension of this process on the years 1940 to 1960.
