A tela que revela a escola: uma análise do “Projeto Escola no Cinema” como um espaço educativo não formal

Abstract

This research is based on a case study of a teacher and class participating in the “Escola no Cinema” Project, promoted by Espaço Itaú de Cinemas, in the city of Rio de Janeiro. Based on the understanding of cinema as a non-formal educational space, this research aims to investigate the possible impacts of cinema for students and teachers participating in the Project. Gohn (2001) and Fresquet (2017) are reference authors to understand studies on education in nonformal spaces and cinema in education. For the foundation on case study, we anchored in Osório; Meirinhos (2010) and to weave the analysis of research data using the methodology and technique of Content Analysis, we dialog with Franco (2008). The research considers the importance of the occupation, by students, both of the cinema spaces, and of the city through the itineraries traveled between the school and the cinema, in addition to the activities that can be partners of the school in the teaching-learning process. In order to obtain data for the research, interviews were conducted with a professor participating in the Project and with his manager. The interview with the participating teacher allowed us to recognize, in the case under study, the benefits of the “Escola no Cinema” Project for teachers of basic education and for the students of the participating classes. For this, a categorical-thematic analysis based on Content Analysis was carried out. The interview with the manager allowed us to expand the understanding of the Project itself and establish dialogues with the interviewed participating teacher. Based on this dissertation, we developed the educational product that consists of: (1) conducting a pedagogical workshop aimed at working on the experience of cinema and the exercise of living the city; (2) creating an application for cell phones.
