The work s theme is about the introduction of educational television in Guanabara State, standing out the pioneering experiences of training courses to prepare for the educational television to teaching staff and to technical professionals interested in instructional and educational broadcasting. The time frame analyzed between 1960 and 1975, represent a moment in which there was an increase of school places in the local public school system because of the educational policy implemented during the government of Carlos Lacerda that enlarged the number of schools and established the four-shift system in schools. The incentive to schooling was also part of an international project, led by UNESCO for the eradication of illiteracy and strengthening of industrial capitalist ideology that needed a qualified workforce to maintain the patterns of development stimulated to season. The programming of educational television should be at the service of formal and non-formal education of hearings, and also for the qualification and training of teachers. Several courses were offered in open and closed loop of educational television. At the same period was inaugurated the Fundação Centro Brasileiro de Televisão Educativa, alongside the Guanabara State Institute of Education, invested in training of personnel for the creation and definition of a model tele-education that met the needs of the local population. Among the initiatives, we emphasis on the educational telenovela João da Silva, displayed in the 1970s, which was the first course of youth and adult education that used the format of the telenovela directed to primary education, with certification students/viewers that if they subjected the assessment process to conclusion regarding the four series of the 1st degree. The research methodology consists in the content analysis of official documents of the Institute of Education, newspapers, interviews, review of the personal file of the families of Gilson Amado and Lourival Marques. We work on the assumptions of history and social theory whose philosophical basis if supports the idea that the reality is socially and culturally constructed.
