MOGARRO, Maria João. Comemorations, rituals and routines in teachers training (1959-1989) . Rev. Lusófona de Educação [online]. 2008, n.12, pp.139-154. ISSN 1645-7250.

This article analyzes the commemorations, rituals and routines that marked the existence of an institution of teachers training, the Escola do Magistério Primário de Portalegre (1959 -1989). The analysis of the discourses that the institution and the educative actors produced about the school life also becomes possible the knowledge of the values, norms and rules that fitted the processes of formation and the professional activity. The considered chronological period encloses two phases, one previous to 1974 and other that followed the Revolution of the 25 of April, having the School functioned under two opposite politician-ideological regimes.This institution established a strongly disciplinary regimen, established in the basic values of the conservative catholicism and the nationalism, and developed control mechanisms on the behaviours and attitudes; after 1974, this dimension of the school life passed to be marked by the principles of freedom and autonomy. Some sources of information were used, such as archive documents, articles of the pedagogical press, photographs, didactic materials, works of pupils and interviews with the director, professors and pupils.

Keywords : rituals; values; control; autonomy; discipline; teachers training.
