Abstract

Current paper analyzes an important teaching instrument, at university level, produced during the First Brazilian Republic, called History of Brazil (1900) by João Ribeiro, a professor at the Pedro II College. The functions undertaken by the compendium within educational relationships and through the characteristics of its didactic contents are discussed. The Triple Alliance War (1864-1870) theme is chosen as an example. Scholars on João Ribeiro and his works acknowledge the originality of his theses and the renewal he brought about in Historiographical studies and in Didactics. Although his concepts on history are innovatory, the validity of his ideas on Didactic should be questioned. Results show the compendium failed to surpass the previous ones with regard to objectification and simplification of the teaching task.
