O uso do cinema em uma escola de Bagé - RS e o desenvolvimento de um guia para auxiliar professores nessas atividades

Abstract

Since the emergence of cinema, its relationship with education has been evolving over the years. In Brazil, discussions about the pedagogical role of cinema were propelled by the creation of Law 13,006/14, which made it mandatory to screen nationally produced films in basic education schools. In this context, the municipality of Bagé, in Rio Grande do Sul, has a history of being a pioneer in matters related to the seventh art. Therefore, this study sought to understand how teachers in a basic education school in Bagé engage with cinema, as well as to develop a digital guide, in the form of a website, to assist them in the process of selecting films and creating activities involving cinema in the school. This study is configured as a descriptive and qualitative field research with the application of questionnaires, which were analyzed using Laurence Bardin's content analysis method. Therefore, a bibliographic research was conducted to define the content that would be addressed on the website. Afterward, a pilot test was conducted with education postgraduates to evaluate a video that would be made available in the guide. Following these steps, another questionnaire was administered to teachers at a Basic Education school, in which participants were asked to answer questions related to their relationship with cinema and the classroom. After completing the questionnaire, participants had access to the website where pages with videos and texts were made available with accessibility features, including audio description, subtitles, and a window with Brazilian Sign Language interpretation. These pages covered the following topics: "The importance of cinema in school and Law 13,006/2014," "Choosing a film for the classroom," "Preparation for a film forum," "Building a script of questions for the film forum," "The role of the teacher in the film forum," and "Ideas and precautions for the use of cinema in specific disciplines." Along with the website, a second questionnaire was also sent, allowing participants to evaluate their experience with the digital guide. In this second questionnaire, participants' perceptions of the website indicated a positive reception regarding the content and structure of the digital guide. Furthermore, it is worth noting that the educational resource provides tips to help educators overcome the main points listed by teachers as reasons for not using cinema in the classroom. Therefore, it is confirmed that the elaborated digital guide can be used as a starting point to assist teachers in the effective incorporation of cinema in the school environment.
