Complexidade da banda de música no processo educativo: uma reflexão sobre bandas escolares

Abstract

The general objective of this work is to reflect on the formative place of the school band based on Edgar Morin's complexity theory. As a methodological approach, qualitative research was carried out, from a multidimensional epistemological perspective that uses several methodological approaches linked to different specific objectives: a) research topics related to teaching music at school, projects and teaching methods for school bands and didactics of bands; b) analyze projects and portfolios of music bands in the context of basic education schools in the municipality of Aparecida de Goiânia, and c) reflect on the formative place of the school band based on Edgar Morin's complexity theory. As a theoretical foundation and related theories, complexity theory was presented based on some works by Edgar Morin (2000, 2003, 2007), with the help of other authors in the educational field such as Barbosa (1996, 1998), Penna (2008), Fonterrada (2008) and Swanwick (2003). Considering the reflections developed, it is expected that this research will contribute in an innovative and relevant way to the entire school community and contemporary society as a form of balance and means of connection between the pertinent knowledge existing in the music band environment and the school community, contributing to a multidimensional and integral training of students.
