Relações entre arte-música e educação profissional: um estudo sobre a representação social de professores de ensino médio do IFRN Jucurutu

Abstract

This Thesis is philosophically inspired by a Historical-Dialectic approach and methodologically based on the Theory of Social Representations. The object of investigation is the integrated curriculum in Music, practiced on a campus of the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Rio Grande do Norte, which offers the Integrated Technical Course in Musical Instruments. The general objective is to understand the relationships between the curricular component “art-music” in the professional education offered by IFRN based on the social representation of teachers working in high school. The methodological choice used was the qualitative approach, the research of the Theory of Social Representations type and the Nucleus of Meaning as a technique for analyzing the findings. The data collection instruments were the Free Word Association Technique – TALP, questionnaires, interviews, analysis of normative, institutional documents and academic works. The justification for its realization occurs in view of the necessary debate about the presence of Art-Music, formatted by artistic practices from the integrated curriculum, focusing on the integral human formation. The thesis plan presents the foundation of polytechnic and professional education based on the provision of Music teaching. It discusses the texts and devices that regulate the provision of Music Education in Professional Education, with the work category as a structuring axis. It discusses the culture category as an axis of Integrated Education, its relevance within social contexts and material realities. It presents the theoretical-methodological frameworks of Social Representations and the Historical-Dialectical Materialism method necessary for the understanding and discussion of the research object of the thesis. In the conclusion, we found that Music contributes favorably to the human and integral formation of high school students, as long as culture is taken as a structuring axis of the curriculum for professional education. The investigation also showed that the integrated course in musical instrument, offered by the Jucurutu Campus, has a well-qualified teaching staff, pedagogical-musical practices committed to the resignification of the material reality of students, considered citizens capable of building their own social identity and developing their emancipation, having as its main pillar, a potentially transformative professional musical education.
