A MÚSICA COMO FERRAMENTA PEDAGÓGICA NA SALA DE AULA: UM OLHAR PARA A EDUCAÇÃO BÁSICA E A EDUCAÇÃO MATEMÁTICA

Abstract

The present article, presented as the conclusion work for the Lato Sensu Post-Graduation course in Nature Science and Mathematics Education, brings the main concepts and approaches of the musical manifestations for the teaching-learning process. From curiosities and questions about music in the educational space, it was sought through bibliographic research to find in the historical context and in the contemporary world, how music has been contributing to education. The goal was to provide teachers, from several disciplines, with the contributions of music in the teaching/learning process and to learn a little about the history between music and education, teacher training, affectivity in education, and mathematics education. The methodology used was a bibliographical research and analysis of articles and books in sites such as Google Scholar, and the CAPES Periodical Portal. Thus, it was verified that music can be used as a didactic tool in the school environment, aiming to create in the classroom, moments of playfulness, interaction, cultural knowledge, and the use of various strategies that it provides, to support the teaching and learning of various contents. The interaction between music and mathematics was highlighted. When music is used in mathematics teaching, it helps the teacher to provide innovative lessons, contributing to the students interest in the content. By using songs, parodies, beats, and many other musical aspects, the teacher ensures a playful and interesting environment that will help students understand and absorb the content.
