Uma experiência interrompida: o Colégio Integrado do Centro Pedagógico da Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (1971)

Abstract

The article discusses the experience of the Colégio Integrado do Centro Pedagógico da UFMG, held in 1971, soughtting to understand the school dynamics, as well as its relationship with the educational policy established by the Brazilian civilmilitary dictatorship. The Colégio Integrado was planned with its own structure and curriculum, that intended to represent one of the most daring possibilities of teaching and to adjust with new demands of the Brazilian 1st and 2nd degrees education reform at the federal level, which became official by the following year. However, this experience was interrupted by a mandatory professionalization proposal, created by a new law, as well as by university internal circumstances. We conclude that this experience was joined by the others in the same period that had intend to innovate high school education. But them were not able to overcome some obstacles of a conservative and pragmatic educational system.
