As publicações da ANPAE e a trajetória do conhecimento em Administração da educação no Brasil

This paper reports on the trajectory of knowledge in educational administration, as published by the Brazilian National Association of Educational Policy and Administration (ANPAE). It reviews four early booklets on school administration – Cadernos de Administração Escolar – published between 1961 and 1968, and selected issues of ANPAE´s journal – Revista Brasileira de Política e Administração da Educação – published between 1983 and 2000, under different categories, and analyses those classified under the concepts of administration and management. The author refers to conceptual limitations, but concedes that the publications present relevant contributions on the theoretical development of educational administration in Brazil.
