Digital culture and digital technologies in art teaching in the maranhense territory

Abstract

The Curriculum Document of the Maranhense Territory (DCTM) is a reference for schools located in Maranhense territory, with regard to the contents of the curricular components in basic education, specifically from kindergarten to elementary school. In this sense, the objective of this study is to discuss the structuring of the curricular component of Art in the document and also its relations with digital technologies. Thus, the concepts and foundations of the curriculum proposal for the territory of Maranhão are considered, with its approximations between education, technology and art teaching. This is the context of insertion of digital technologies in educational processes. Therefore, the method of document analysis was used to study the curriculum of Maranhão (DCTM), investigating how technological instruments are approached and indicated for the teaching of Art. The documentary study was based on theoretical references in the fields of art, education and digital culture. The results of the study indicated, mainly, a change in relation to the traditional curriculum of art teaching, which is justified by the need to integrate the technological apparatus into the didactic-pedagogical practice, with different technological-digital resources that, at times, perform the function of mediating instruments of pedagogical action and, at other times, they are means of access, creation and artistic expression in elementary school.
