The impact of research results on art education

Abstract

Music teaching today represents a greater effort compared to previous eras. Before, quality and rigor, combined with ideas, resources, techniques and emotions were shared, inside or outside of the school environment. Currently, the same process is accelerated: the considerable number of research in, about and in favor of art, joined with technological impact, and the existence of social networks, activates informational exchange, and causes contrasts that require higher creativity from the teacher in order to offer tools for the student to qualify the cumulus of information at their grasp. This is made possible by integrating teaching with research, a popular theme in education-related events; which constitutes the objective of this work: to popularize alternatives for the achievement of the possibilities the research process offers in music teaching. The analytic-sinthetical metod, the life history method, documental analysis method and interview were combined from a qualitative standpoint, which was conducive to a multilateral study of the composer and his creativity's developmemt, and also to the activities' design, and the search for information. Ideas and experiences about the potential of research for art education, plus extracurricular activities designed and based on the research are therefore offered.
