Resumo: This article aims to analyze the concepts of "normal" and "abnormal" in scientific and educational publications published in the 1930s. To this end articles from the Brazilian Archives of Mental Hygiene and the New School Magazine that addressed the theme in question were chosen, all of them in digital format. So, 11 publications were analyzed, corresponding to the years of 1930 and 1931. Documentary research and content analysis were used as a methodology, considering a kind of resource that helps in the interpretation of latent or manifest meaning in written records. The analyses led us to realize that there was no consensus regarding the adoption of the terms "normal" and "abnormal" and that these meanings served to classify and create stigmas in children who did not fit the standardized descriptions according to the medical-educational thinking, whether or not they had some intellectual deficit by the application of intelligence tests. These findings were in line with the eugenics ideal, which had a direct influence on the pedagogical practices of the period studied.

Para ello, se eligieron artículos de los Archivos Brasileños de Higiene Mental y de la Revista de la Escuela Nueva que abordaban el tema en cuestión, en formato digital. Se utilizó como metodología la investigación documental y el análisis de contenido, recursos que ayudan en la interpretación del significado latente o manifiesto en los registros escritos. Fueran analizadas 11 publicaciones, correspondientes a los años 1930 y 1931. Los análisis nos llevaron a darnos cuenta de que no había consenso en cuanto a la adopción de los términos "normal" y "anormal" y que estos significados servían para clasificar y crear estigmas en los niños que no se ajustaban a las descripciones estandarizadas por el pensamiento médico-educativo, si tuvieran o no algún déficit intelectual, según la aplicación de pruebas de inteligencia. Esto estaba en consonancia con el ideal eugenésico, que influyó directamente en las prácticas pedagógicas del período estudiado.Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar os conceitos de “normal” e “anormal” em publicações científicas e educacionais publicadas na década de 1930.

Esses achados estavam em consonância com o ideal eugenista, que exerceu influência direta nas práticas pedagógicas do período estudado.Universidade Federal de Santa Maria2022-08-23info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdftext/htmlhttp://periodicos.ufsm.br/educacaoespecial/article/view/6925310.5902/1984686X69253Special Education Magazine; Revista Educação Especial, v. 35, 2022 – Publicação Contínua – Qualis – A2; e32/1-18Revista de Educación Especial; Revista Educação Especial, v. 35, 2022 – Publicação Contínua – Qualis – A2; e32/1-18Revista Educação Especial; Revista Educação Especial, v. 35, 2022 – Publicação Contínua – Qualis – A2; e32/1-181984-686Xreponame:Revista Educação Especial (UFSM)instname:Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM)instacron:UFSMporhttp://periodicos.ufsm.br/educacaoespecial/article/view/69253/48747http://periodicos.ufsm.br/educacaoespecial/article/view/69253/48750Copyright (c) 2022 Revista Educação Especialhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessVerzolla, Beatriz Lopes PortoEcar, Ariadne Lopes2022-09-13T18:09:57Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/69253Revistahttps://periodicos.ufsm.br/educacaoespecialPUBhttp://cascavel.ufsm.br/revistas/ojs-2.2.2/index.php/educacaoespecial/oaieducacaoespecial@smail.ufsm.br||clenioberni@gmail.com1984-686X1808-270Xopendoar:2022-09-13T18:09:57Revista Educação Especial (UFSM) - Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM)false
