The article aims the study of eugenic thought in education and its relationship with formative principles of Brazilian nationality in the first half of the 20th century. The documental and bibliographical research methodology focuses on the analytical procedure of written press sources. Materials from the Boletim de Eugenía, the publication of the Instituto Brasileiro de Eugenia and the Comissão Central Brasileira de Eugenia, published between January 1929 and June 1933, were consulted. It is considered that the Boletim de Eugenía purposes were driven by a socially and politically well-positioned literate intellectuality, which had as one of its central objectives the pedagogical interposition in school curricula and in teacher training. It is verified that the prerogative of "eugenic education" would be to select and preserve the hereditary requirements of those considered genetically apt and useful to the country, called "well endowed".

El presente ensayo busca realizar una reflexióncrítica sobre la actualidad de los conflictos que inciden en la educación nacional. Parte considerable de esos conflictos está relacionada al hecho de que ciertas ideologías conservadoras avanzan de forma sistemática sobre las políticas educativas desarrolladas en Brasil. Consideradas en conjunto, esas ideologías conservadoras se caracterizan por defender una oposición a los cambios que se derivan tanto del desarrollo de teorías y prácticas derivadas del campo académico y de las luchas sociales incorporadas a la realidad de la enseñanza básica y superior, haciendo de la escuela y de la educación un importante el locus del embate de clases estructurante de nuestra sociedad.

To evaluate the performance of teachers were made pre- and post-course, composed of two instruments, a form with 14 aspects of nonverbal communication related to 2 designed movie scenes (with situations of teaching and learning between teachers and students) and a questionnaire with four questions about dimensions and functions of nonverbal communication. Results: In the sample of 13 teachers, for the analysis of scenes from the film, there was an increase of teacher perception 69.24% to 82.61%, compared to the perception of the researcher. In evaluative questions of the functions of non-verbal, there was also a quantitative increase in the responses of teachers. Conclusion: The program was adequate to increase the perception of teachers as to non-verbal cues and adequacy of communication strategies for the classroom in immediate evaluation after application.
