Currículo, arte e tecnologia

Abstract

The place of art in the school curriculum has been debated for a long time, and its dialogue with other areas is important, since it enables a different, more questioning and reflective look at the world around us. Thus, this study aims to understand how art is presented and demanded in proposals for implementing the STEAM approach (science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics) in education. For this, a survey was carried out of works published in the literature in the period from 2016 to 2023, with all works identified and collected between March and April 2023. The selected works approach the STEAM methodology from the point of view of art in dialogue with digital technologies. The works were searched in the Capes portal, with the descriptors "Art" and "STEAM", in Google academic the descriptors were "STEAM", "Art teaching", "technology" and "BNCC" and in Scielo with the descriptors "Art” AND “STEAM”, the language set was Portuguese. Eight papers were selected out of a total of 77 to compose this literature review. The result and data analysis are presented in the text based on Bardin's discourse analysis. The categories of analysis established were: interdisciplinarity and transdisciplinarity; intervention strategy: classroom or project; Technologies approach; from the Base to the room; Challenges and; approach to the Arts. We can conclude that thinking about education in its transforming and humanizing action is not an easy task. This is because a humanist education proposes a holistic formation, in which the human being as an unfinished being is in constant construction. The STEAM approach brings art and science together again, but even if art is a possibility to work creativity, innovation, critical thinking, technique and many other knowledge that are inherent to them, it is important that it also has its place in education disciplinary and not a tool, being seen as secondary to the educational processes.
