A arte e a formação humana: potencialidades no ensino na educação do campo em tempo de pandemia da Covid-19

Abstract

This dissertation was developed during the first two years of the Covid-19 pandemic. This fact changed the guidelines of Education, the economic and social life of the world. Teachers and students moved from face-to-face teaching to the development of their activities in the form of remote teaching, as an emergency strategy. The general objective of this study is to understand how art contributed to the school routine during the period of social isolation due to the Covid 19 pandemic from the perspective of teachers. The specific objectives are: to outline the main challenges and possibilities of teaching and learning from the perspective of teachers during the pandemic; identify how art was present in teachers' pedagogical strategies; reflect on the possibilities of integrating art in teacher training programs in times of crisis. With a qualitative approach, the research covers the themes: the importance of Art as a didactic and emotional refuge in Education, teacher training and the integration of information and communication technologies in the teaching and learning processes. To collect the teachers' narratives, the focus group technique was used. The analysis was carried out from the perspective of Fontoura's Thematization. The theoretical framework was based on Freire, Arroyo, Dewey, Tardif and Lessard, among others. The analysis of the narratives brought to light changes in the school routine, in the professional and personal lives of teachers and students. Among the participants, most did not use digital technologies in the classroom before the period of social isolation, due to lack of skills or few technological resources available at school. Along with the uncertainties due to the Covid-19 pandemic, teachers brought their concerns about students who did not have access to classes in the Remote Learning modality. Although it was not possible to reach all students, as far as possible, teachers began to use visual and audiovisual arts as a pedagogical strategy, enhancing teaching and learning at school. Through digital technologies, it was possible to create videos, edit images, produce virtual scenarios, enjoy music, present content via google meet, create posts on social networks and develop printed activities with drawings and paintings. The integration of digital technologies as a pedagogical strategy, the exclusion of students who did not have access to classes because they did not have internet on the farms, was and continues to be a challenge for teachers, schools and families. The results of the period of the Covid-19 pandemic in teaching and learning in Brazil will only be known through studies and academic productions, it is the research that raises the relevance of the union between the school and the University in the search for the right for a humanized education.
