Formação do professor de arte do ensino médio público em Juazeiro do Norte: reflexos no ensino de música

Abstract

This research project aimed at understanding how teacher education affects the teaching of Music in the Art Classes of the public high schools in Juazeiro do Norte, state of Ceará, Brazil. The need for this research was justified by the fact that music education is now compulsory as part of basic education in Brazil according to federal law number 11.769/08 enacted in 2008. This ethnographic research with autobiographical contributions was based on André (2008), Viégas (2007), Bogdan and Biklen (1994). Observations semi-structured questionnaires and magnified reports served as instruments for the collection of data. The analysis of reports provided by the music teachers were based on techniques presented by Tardif (2008), which deals with teacher knowledge and training, Rodrigues (2010) and Bueno (2006), who address the narrative itself as a training strategy. For analysis of teacher musical practices in the classroom assumptions established by Swanwick (2003a and 2003b) were taken into account. The results of the research show that for music teachers who did not have access to formal higher education in the field, it is productive to engage in further education through self teaching and private courses.
