Abstract

The pedagogical contribution of Jean-Baptiste de la Salle to teachers´ formation and the comprehensiveness of primary education in the Western World are analyzed especially in the wake of few academic studies on the Christian Brothers´ pedagogical tradition in Brazil. Current paper is foregrounded on a critical reading of La Salle´s writings and contemporary comments on his pedagogical proposal and demonstrates the manner the French educator faced his countries´ educational issues between the 17th and 18th centuries and, consequently, his contribution towards the constitution of the modern school. The paper forwards suggestions for future research work which will surely overcome the ‘eloquent silence’ currently observed.
