Formação Musical de Professores em Ambientes Virtuais de Aprendizagem.

Abstract

The reality of Brazilian educational system demonstrates a lack of trained teachers to work with music in the classroom. The law 11.769/2008 expanded the demand, making it necessary to establish conditions for the musical training of teachers, ensuring the achievement of the objectives of the legislation. In this sense, we identify through this study the feasibility of using the blended mode, by Virtual Learning Environments - VLE, in this process of formation. The study had as subjects the students of Music Education from the UFC, attending the course of Harmony 2 in semester 2009.2. We adopted the model C(L)A(S)P, by Swanwick (1988), as a theoretical framework for planning activities, using the virtual environment SOCRATES, which involved access to content available in the form of online classes and usage of the environment interaction tools in order to facilitate discussions on the topics studied. Thus, we understand how it developed the process of musical learning of the subjects and identified the limits and possibilities that the environment interaction tools imposed on this process. Data analysis revealed that, despite the limitations of interaction tools in the representation of musical notation, students have achieved the learning objectives established for the discipline. We observed that the use of blended mode constitutes an effective possibility for the musical education of teachers. Furthermore, we propose the incorporation of some resources to VLE in order to improve the teaching and learning of music.
