Abstract
The subject of this work is to study the pedagogical ideas in Brazil during the First Republic through the life history and the work of José Scaramelli who was one education expert from educational mission of Sao Paulo state. The aim of this dissertation is learning, to analyze and to understand how the methods of New Education came in to Brazilian educational scenario and, how the author Scaramelli appropriated them. Scaramelli tried to adapt them to Brazilian education reality at that time. Were Scaramelli pedagogical ideas a novelty or simply a copy of the original ideas wrote by New Education Movement Scholars? To discuss this question, the concepts of didacticism and methodology were analyzed based on his work which was produced from 1914 to 1931. Methodological guides were used as such as were proposed by Dermeval Saviani works.
