Episode 110: The “Notas Histórico-Pedagógicas” by Alfredo Bensaúde

First published in book form in 1922 and reissued by IST Press in 2003, the “Notas Histórico-Pedagógicas” (“Historical and Pedagogical Notes”) by Alfredo Bensaude, Técnico’s first director (from 1911 to 1920), is still at the core of the school’s philosophy. The book includes ideas about progressive and applied teaching, learning in a creative way, and privileging the will and ability to learn rather than passing the exams. A century later, these Notes served as an inspiration for Técnico’s new teaching model and its pedagogical practices, which would take effect in 2021.
