Vivendo e aprendendo...: um estudo de caso sobre a aprendizagem da docência dos professores de música na Cauc

Abstract

This paper is about the Music Education in regular basic education schools in the county of Caucaia - Brazil. The county held in 2009 a Public Service Competitive Examination for the provision of effective positions for Music Teacher from 6th to 9th grade of elementary school, living up to the Law No. 11,789 (BRAZIL, 2008), which makes the Music subject mandatory in the Basic Education. The objective of this research is to understand how the Music Teachers learn the subject, so they can teach it in schools. The main theoretical framework of the research is based on: Mizukami (2004;2005), with his studies on the learning of teaching; Silva (2015), with his research on Curriculum Theories; and Silvino (2007), with the proposal for Music Education. The methodology used, through a qualitative approach, was a multiple cases study. Six County Music Teachers were chosen and interviewed, hired by the said Public Service Competitive Exam. According to the data analysis and the results of research, nothing is ready. The Music Teacher has been building his teaching skills through the reflection on his own practice and the experience exchange in the learning communities, among teachers themselves. The Music Education in the county, alienated to the school’s program, has been building its own curricular identity, having as a priority education on: music, aesthetics and integral human aspects of the student. In addition, regarding the viability of Music Education, there is a methodological multiplicity according to the experience and training of each teacher.
