Práticas culturais em escolas públicas: um estudo de caso nas escolas estaduais da Regional Serrana I

Abstract

How do public schools deal with cultural and artistic activities within their educational practices? This is the main question that is proposed to answer. To achieve this goal we have a theoretical reference of education, especially the theory of the four pillars of education, and sociological about culture; Statistical data that support, at different levels of perception, a diagnosis of the infrastructure conditions of schools, as well as habits and uses of culture by students and teachers; And, finally, interviews of deepening of the thematic ones, realized with teachers. As main diagnoses, there was a great regional disparity in the availability of equipment and facilities for cultural uses, both in comparisons between states and, in the case of the state of Rio de Janeiro, among its municipalities. Regarding the cultural practices themselves, despite an account of great difficulties and barriers, the teachers interviewed indicate their extreme importance in three activities: culture as an element of integration of contents with technology, culture as an element of enrichment of the Educational practices within each discipline and, especially, culture as an element of integration and support for multidisciplinary activities.
