Em cena: a experiência de criação em audiovisual na rearticulação do ensino de história

Abstract

This paper integrates the research line "teacher education and digital culture" and its main objective is to analyze the meaning of audiovisual creation experience when associated with the teaching-learning processes, especially in the teaching of History. It also investigates audiovisual production as a space of the collective construction of knowledge, the relevance of creating short films in the memory of those who create them and the potential of audiovisual production for understanding and spread the teaching of History. The research approach is qualitative and the data were collected from interviews and a focus group with students and teachers involved in the production of two short films in a school of Minas Gerais, in 2009 and 2010. The theoretical framework were Larrosa (2002) on the relationship between experience and construction of meaning, Bosi (1994) in memory and knowledge connection, Charlot (2002) on the problematics of education as a commodity and its value in the construction of identity, Morin (1983) in the concepts of projection-identification and affective memory, Fantin (2006) and Prata Linhares (2012; 2013) in the potential of learning related to artistic creation, as well as Tardif (2012) and Gatti (2010; 2012) in analyzing the Brazilian education and teacher education. Other authors complement this study as Lévy (2003), Novoa (1992; 1995), Saviani (2009), Fernandez Cruz (2006), Ferreira (2000), Alves (2002), among others. The analyses suggest that the production of short films by elementary school teachers and students represented a space of collective development, integrating the individuals in different creative processes. It also meant an experience of understanding and spread of History knowledge, since the individuals had vivid memories about the historical themes exposed in the films. The results show that the production of short films in school is a possible strategy to rethink the process of teaching and learning and an experience of relevance in the memory of those involved in audiovisual creation.
