Description
- Abstract:
- In the nineteenth century, the Portuguese intelligentsia addressed one of the issues that confronted them with other European countries: the need to face the challenges of industrialisation through educational reform. This paper focuses on the main issue of university reform at a time when the only university in the country, Coimbra, showed signs of excessive conservatism both in its syllabus and teaching methods, and was confronted with new proposals for the introduction of technological disciplines at the creation of polytechnical schools. A parallel will also be drawn with the ongoing debate on the same subject in England.

Este artigo enfoca a questão principal da reforma universitária num tempo em que a única universidade do país, de Coimbra, mostrava sinais de conservadorismo excessivo, tanto em seu currículo quanto em seus métodos de ensino, sendo confrontada com novas propostas de introdução de disciplinas tecnológicas e de criação de escolas politécnicas. Também se traçará um paralelo com o debate sobre o mesmo assunto então corrente na Inglaterra.
