Uma história das leituras para professores: análise da produção e circulação de saberes especializados nos manuais pedagógicos (1930-1971)

This article presents some results of a study about the production and circulation of knowledge among teachers. The study mentioned uses, as its main source of data, the educational manuals published in Brazil from 1930 to 1971. These books were written for teachers in pre service education courses during classes of subjects directly related to teaching: pedagogy, didactics, methodology and teaching practice. We try to identify some characteristics of this production and the ways they construct and spread educational knowledge.
