Abstract
ResumoO artigo analisa documentos publicados no Congresso da Instrução Pública do Rio de Janeiro em 1884, nas discussões levadas a efeito por alguns congressistas sobre a co-educação dos sexos. Geralmente confundido com o ensino nas classes mistas, desde os anos iniciais do século XX, o sistema co-educativo sempre foi acentuadamente debatido pelas feministas européias e norte-americanas como uma forma de conseguir maiores igualdades sociais às mulheres, por intermédio de educar conjuntamente meninos e meninas. No Brasil a prática foi severamente combatida pela Igreja Católica que via no sistema um sério risco aos costumes morais vigentes. Porém, intelectuais que participaram do Congresso, defenderam a co-educação e seus princípios, enumerando seus benefícios para a educação das crianças no País.

THE CO-EDUCATION OF THE SEXES: NOTES FOR AN HISTORICAL INTERPRETATION
Abstract
The article analyzes documents published at the Congress of the Public Instruction of Rio de Janeiro in 1884, in the discussions developed by some congressmen on the co-education of the sexes. Generally confused with education in the mixing classrooms, since the initial years of the XX century, the co-educative system always was hardly debated by the European and North American feminists as a form to obtain greater social equalities to the women, educating jointly boys and girls. In Brazil the practice was severely fought by
the Catholic Church who saw in the system a serious risk to the effective moral customs. However, intellectuals who had participated in the Congress had defended the co-education and its principles, pointing its benefits for the education of the children in the Country.
Keywords: co-education, mixing classrooms, feminism.
LA COEDUCACIÓN DE LOS SEXOS: APUNTES PARA UNA INTERPRETACIÓN HISTÓRICA
Resumen
El artículo analiza documentos publicados en el Congreso de la Instrucción Pública del Rio de Janeiro en 1884, en las discusiones llevadas a efecto por algunos congresistas sobre la coeducación de los sexos. En general confundiendo con la enseñanza en los grupos mixtos, desde los años iniciales del siglo XX, el sistema coeducativo siempre ha sido acentuadamente debatido por las feministas europeas y estadounidenses como una forma de lograr igualdades sociales a las mujeres, por medio de educar conjuntamente niños y niñas. En Brasil la práctica fue severamente combatida por la Iglesia Católica que percibía en el sistema un alto riesgo a las costumbres morales vigentes. Sin embargo, intelectuales que participaron del Congreso, defendieron la coeducación y sus principios, enumerando sus beneficios para la educación de los niños en Brasil.
Palabras-clave: coeducación, grupos mixtos, feminismo.
