Do cavalete ao computador: uso do software KolourPaint em aulas de arte nos anos finais do ensino fundamental

Abstract

This research, carried out within the framework of the Post-Graduate Program in Education at the Federal University of Sergipe (PPGED / UFS), aimed to understand the students learning process in the final years of elementary school, through the KolourPaint software, based on educational assumptions of Digital Technologies of Information and Communication (DTIC) use (SANTAELLA, 2007, 2010; SCHNEIDER, 2002, 2013; SILVA; GOMES, 2015) and its relationship with the Art teaching (OLIVEIRA; GARCEZ, 2006; OSTROWER, 2001, 2004). It was a qualitative study, with technical procedures as field research using simple observation. The instruments used for data collection were the students' reports during the drawing and painting class, using the KolourPaint software in a computer lab, in a 9th grade class at a municipal school in the educational system, located in Aracaju / Sergipe. The data were interpreted according to the content analysis technique, as categorized by Bardin (2011), envisioning the development of skills and the students learning process of students in Art. Results made possible to identify KolourPaint software benefits for working with the contents of the Art curriculum, in addition to understand how digital resources tension learning in elementary school. It was also possible to perceive the need for the teacher to know, as a priori the students' skills in DTIC to better mediate the contents in discipline. It is concluded, therefore, that the students appropriated the software and reframed learning, in addition to the fact that the KolourPaint software has technical resources, which can be used mainly to understand the different languages of the visual arts and develop artistic skills, exploring possibilities of creativity, interaction and collaboration in Basic Education.
