Resumo: The intelligence tests developed at the beginning of the XX century played a decisive role in the reorganization process of Brazilian school education. The Belo Horizonte Teachers College had the function of training teachers for modern and scientific practices. The aim of this research was to analyze the concepts of intelligence that circulated in the state of Minas Gerais in the 1920s and 1930s, under the influence of the teaching of tests to the students from the Teachers College. Methodologically, we started from the concept of reception/circulation, which refers to the process of appropriation of instruments, ideas and concepts produced in other places. As a result, we were able to demonstrate that the practical use of the tests had supremacy over the theoretical debate about the notion of intelligence. We concluded that the experience of the Belo Horizonte Teachers College focused on the pragmatic use of tests, in detriment of the theoretical discussion about intelligence.

Em Belo Horizonte, à Escola de Aperfeiçoamento de Professores cabia a função de capacitar os professores para práticas modernas e científicas. O objetivo da presente pesquisa foi analisar os conceitos de inteligências que circularam em Minas Gerais nas décadas de 1920 e 1930, sob a influência do ensino dos testes aos alunos da Escola de Aperfeiçoamento. Como metodologia, partimos do conceito de recepção/circulação, que se refere ao processo de apropriação dos instrumentos, ideias e conceitos produzidos em outros locais. Como resultado, pudemos demonstrar que a utilização prática dos testes teve supremacia sobre o debate teórico sobre a noção de inteligência. Concluímos que a experiência da Escola de Aperfeiçoamento deu ênfase à utilização pragmática dos testes, em detrimento da discussão teórica sobre a inteligência.Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais2019-06-02info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/memorandum/article/view/654210.35699/1676-1669.2019.6542Memorandum: Memory and History in Psychology ; Vol. 36 (2019); 1-18Memorandum: Memória e História em Psicologia; v. 36 (2019); 1-181676-1669reponame:Memorandum (Belo Horizonte)instname:Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)instacron:UFMGporhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/memorandum/article/view/6542/9983Copyright (c) 2019 Memorandum: Memória e História em Psicologiainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessRota Júnior, CésarCirino, Sérgio DiasGutierrez, Laurent2023-07-17T14:47:45Zoai:periodicos.ufmg.br:article/6542Revistahttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/memorandum/indexPUBhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/memorandum/oaidecae@fae.ufmg.br1676-16691676-1669opendoar:2023-07-17T14:47:45Memorandum (Belo Horizonte) - Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)false
