A música na educação infantil: vozes dos professores

Abstract

Music has great value for society as language, art, culture, expression of feelings, communication. Therefore, it stimulates and contributes to the development of learning. The general objective of this research is to know how Early Childhood Education teachers perceive the teaching of music in their classes. The specific aims of this study are to understand how music is present at school and to investigate the digital technologies teachers use in their classes. It also aims to contribute to the professional development of teachers by means of remote training meetings. A qualitative approach by means of participative research was conducted with teachers of Early Childhood Education in Orlândia-SP. In order to achieve its objectives, the methodological procedure adopted the collection of data from the registration form answered by the participants and by communication and interaction using tools such as words, videos and images when answering the activities pointed out by the teacher training during the remote meetings. Significant results were obtained when proposing the course as the interaction and the responses of the participants during the training showed that the teachers did not know if they were using music in their classes despite having presented elements that prove this practice. The training aroused the teachers' interest in learning for themselves - to favor their own training; learn to teach - to offer students new educational strategies; and learn for themselves and also to teach - contributing to teacher training and automatically teaching students. We noticed that music in the classroom is a fundamental resource in the teaching learning process, because in addition to promoting students' musicality, it also intervenes as a methodological resource to teach new concepts and support other disciplines.
