Abstract
This paper aims to understand the circulation and appropriation of two French pedagogical models that resulted in the construction of experimental secondary classes in Brazil in the 1950s. On the one hand, it focuses on the uses made by some classes of the public system of the nouvelles classes - an educational test carried out in French secondary education. On the other hand, it seeks to understand the experiences in secondary education in Catholic colleges based on personalized and community pedagogy. For this, this historical analysis moves the concepts of circulation and appropriation of Roger Chartier and uses as historical sources especially official reports and reports of teachers.
