Abstract

This work is in the field of the history of professional education and aims to understand and analyze the conceptions of Education for Work that guided the practices in the organization of Industrial Education of IDORT, from the examination of its magazine, in the period from 1950 to 1956. In order to carry out this research, we have taken the IDORT magazine published from 1950 to 1956 as sources, operated through documentary analysis and the understanding of the press as a source. With regard to the Institution, we understand IDORT from the analyses of Justino Magalhães on Institution and Professional Education and Work-Education for Maria Ciavatta (2019) and Dermeval Saviani (2007). Thought and created at the beginning of the 1930s, the Institute had as its intention the organization of an educational system that would form the working class in a technical it perspective, based on Taylorist thought. Its main objective was to promote the progress and industrial development of Brazil. Its journal was created to circulate information pertinent to IDORT, which reflects the historical and political moment of the time, as well as the educational conceptions aligned to the current economic model. In this way, we can perceive the performance of a group of intellectuals affiliated to IDORT, thinking about education for work in their space-time and disseminating these ideas in a journal, with a view to applying a specific educational model in the social body.
