A música na escola: um mapeamento no campo educacional

Abstract

This text presents the results of a historical research approach, focused on documentary and bibliographic research, developed through the procedures of locating, recovering, gathering, selecting, and organizing documentary sources, specifically, theses and dissertations on music in schools, developed in the educational field. The objectives were to characterize the studies that investigate music in schools present in the theses and dissertations platform of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES), observing the themes, the methodology adopted by the research, and the different approaches that were investigated, such as curriculum, teachers, students, among others. Thirty-one research studies, produced from 1996 to 2021, were analyzed. This analysis made it possible to understand the region with the greatest production on this theme, the methodology used in the organization of the studies, and the privileged and least explored themes of this set. We can observe that most of the studies had in common the objective of analyzing the conception of music and its teaching based on Law No. 11.769/2008, which establishes the obligation of teaching music in schools, investigating the practices of school music education, through interviews and questionnaires sent to teachers. Some of the common results point to the fragility of the training of professionals (in the Arts), compromising the quality of teaching, through classes with little direction. One of the major challenges of this topic refers to the training of music graduates to work in schools.
