摘要:The article analyzes the Internal Bulletin of the Division of Education, Assistance and Recreation [Divisão de Educação, Assistência e Recreio] which was an office of the Department of Education and Culture [Departamento de Educação e Cultura], in the city of São Paulo. This bulletin was published in the period from 1947-1957, as a tool for Children's Playground’s teacher training. The Playground was an educational institution that cared for children from 3 to 12 years of age. The theoretical perspective adopted does not consider the school culture as an autonomous entity, because it sees the educational phenomenon as a constitutive element of social relationships. Therefore, the Bulletin is understood as a cultural product that manifests these social relations and involves members of the Division, educators, and staff. It appears that the publication tried to give guidelines to all Children’s Playground institutions, and teacher training occurred through the organization of professional procedures, publication of theoretical texts, exercises as well as activities models, which guided the program for the institutions. Children’s Playground is shown as not diverging from the school institution, configuring a curriculum proposal that created a selective version of knowledge and culture to be transmitted. The Children’s Playground curriculum was inspired by pedagogical models used in kindergartens and primary schools. The social status of the targeted childhood public, coming from low-income and immigrant families marked by adverse situations, was one of the dimensions which also guided care, in addition to expectations with respect to professional training and the future roles of these children as workers and parents.
