ABSTRACT:
Lourenço Filho’s Reform inserted Ceará in the national context of changes and pioneering. Due to that, some questions become imperative: to what extent have the modern and new anxieties affected, in an effective way, the basis for the primary school in Ceará? In what way, was the official ideary for the nation rehearsed in the school, or, in other words, how the attempt to convince of the belonging to this construction of identity called Nation came about? This article faces (deals with) those questions based on the indications given by the lesson plans of a primary school teacher. The writings of Isabel Pereira, a teacher at the Educational Group Capistrano de Abreu, in Maranguape, Ceará, in her manuscript “Class Plans - 1922”, suggests that she embraced the task of bringing into life the New School ideary, creating a pedagogical practice that would produce the so-called “new man” and, with him, a new society.
