As TIC no desenho curricular do Curso de Licenciatura em Artes Visuais do IFMA

Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) are strongly integrated in the life of contemporary society and their impact on educational processes has motivated several studies, in view of the importance of reflecting on the relationship between technologies, curriculum and teacher training. Following this demand, this study has as main objective to investigate the technologies in the Visual Arts Degree Course at Instituto de Educacao, Ciencia e Tecnologia do Maranhao (IFMA), aiming at identifying the approach of this theme based on the curricular design of the Course. The results obtained indicate that the technologies are approached in certain disciplines as instruments of contemporary artistic production, and, in others, as tools of pedagogical mediation. The methodology adopted consisted of mapping the pedagogical project of the course, in light of the documents and legal provisions that conduct the Degree in Visual Arts in Brazil, supporting the discussion with basis on conceptions of theorists such as Levy (1993), Pimentel (2011), among others.
