The present study aims to identify and analyze some historical aspects of the school discipline Sociology, from 1928 to 1936, at the Escola Normal do Distrito Federal, currently the Instituto Superior de Educação do Rio de Janeiro (ISERJ), at the time it was introduced in the curriculum, through the reform undertaken by Fernando de Azevedo in 1928, and his path in the early years, after the changes that occurred with the ownership of Anísio Teixeira in the Directorate of Public Instruction in 1931, when the School became the Instituto de Educação . To achieve this purpose, the methodology used was the documentary analysis of the different sources of the studied period, with emphasis on those from the collection of the Centro de Memória da Educação Brasileira, located at ISERJ. The main theoretical framework adopted was the English tradition of the History of School Disciplines, having as reference the work of Ivor Goodson, who understands curriculum as a political, social process and, therefore, it is not possible to understand it as pure, decontextualized knowledge. It was possible to analyze the programs of the Sociology and Educational Sociology disciplines, relating them to the educational movements and theories in vogue in the 1920s and 1930s.
