RESUMO

This text analyses the teacher training, carried out according to the public policies reached in MEC/USAID/UNESCO agreements, in the post Second World War, which resulted in the creation of Primary Teaching Training Centers, from 1961 to 1983, in Catalão, Goiás. These training courses, with technical orientation on education, started to run during Mauro Borges Government after the Military Coup in 1964, in order to plan and rationalize the investments in education. The key element of the agreements signed, was the formation of a "mass" society through the democratization of education, of material goods and through the acquisition of things, the market. The material used in this teaching process was developed by teams which were orientated and linked to the Brazilian-American Program for the Primary Education (PABAEE). The specifics of this formation which took place in boarding schools in a full-time period aimed to improve the productivity and the quality of the Elementary School and the "Normal" School. The main primary sources used in this research were found in the files of the "Núcleo de Estudos e Pesquisas em Educação de Catalão (NEPEDUCA) (Study and Research Center for Education, in Catalão), located in the Federal University of Goiás (UFG), Catalão Campus, where it was allowed our access not only to the projects to set up the Experimental Centers for Teaching Training, but also to the lesson plans, worksheets, evaluations and texts created by teachers and scholars with a scholarship. The analysis of the aforementioned sources made it quite clear that during the period of internationalization of the Brazilian economy, the technical, human and material conditions were settled in order to reach Brazil / USAID agreement. The interpretation of the sources showed that the theories and methodologies used by the Centers reproduced a "escolanovista" orientation which wasn t popular in the United States anymore, but which started being used during Military Coup as a social control mechanism without the necessity to make use of explicit violence, as applied in schools, locus of cultural preservation and distribution. The scholars with a scholarship reported that changes were subtly introduced altering values, behaviors and pedagogical practices. Their perception of the school, of the city and of the political and socio-cultural relationships engendered between the power which was constituted and the Catalana society was also altered. The representations built by the scholars with a scholarship show that the contents taught were learnt and understood. Their perception of the world, and the society were conditioned and in order to make the city works and operates well there was an hierarchy of power and social positions to be respected, without any kind of objection, and the individuals, now identified according to the values of the homeland, had to take over public charges previously attributed to the State.
