Esta pesquisa teve por objetivo investigar como a música está presente nas séries finais do ensino fundamental e no ensino médio das escolas estaduais vinculadas à 5ª Coordenadoria Regional de Educação (CRE), na região sul do estado do Rio Grande do Sul. Os objetivos específicos buscaram identificar as atividades que constituem as práticas musicais nas escolas, identificar os profissionais que trabalham com música nas escolas, bem como analisar as necessidades de formação dos profissionais que trabalham com música nas escolas. O método escolhido foi o survey de desenho interseccional, e os dados foram coletados através de questionário auto-administrado. Participaram deste trabalho 139 professores de arte/música das 104 escolas de educação básica que atendem às séries finais do ensino fundamental e ao ensino médio dos 18 municípios que fazem parte da 5ª CRE. Os resultados mostraram que a música está presente nas práticas da maioria dos professores investigados. No entanto, as atividades musicais são realizadas, principalmente, no âmbito das atividades extracurriculares e da disciplina ou componente educação artística, conferindo características polivalentes ao ensino de arte. Além disso, na sua maioria, são atividades realizadas apenas esporadicamente. Poucos são os professores que trabalham somente a modalidade música nas escolas, indicando que a música parece não estar inserida nos projetos pedagógicos das escolas vinculadas à 5ª CRE como área de conhecimento específico, mas como parte integrante da educação artística. A maioria dos professores possui formação superior na área de arte, mas são muito poucos os professores licenciados em música ou licenciados em educação artística com habilitação em música atuando nas escolas. A ausência de formação musical consistente, juntamente com a escassez de recursos materiais e financeiros e de espaço físico adequado, foi apontada como uma das principais dificuldades sentidas pelos professores para desenvolver atividades musicais nas escolas. Os dados obtidos nesta pesquisa poderão fornecer subsídios para o estabelecimento de parcerias entre a Universidade Federal de Pelotas e as escolas vinculadas à 5ª CRE, no sentido de atender às necessidades de formação de seus professores. / This research aimed at investigating the way music is present in basic education schools connected with the 5th Regional Education Coordination (CRE) in the southern region of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The specific objectives were to identify the activities that constitute the musical practices in the schools and identify the professional people who work with music in the schools, as well as to analyze the educational needs of such professionals. The method chosen was the cross-sectional survey, and the data was colleted through a self-administered questionnaire. The people who took part in this work were 139 art/music teachers from the 104 basic education schools that work with the final years of fundamental teaching (ages 11 to 14) and middle teaching (ages 15 to 17) in the 18 cities connected to the 5th CRE. The results showed that music is present in the practices of most of investigated teachers. However, the musical activities are mainly developed in the scope of extracurricular activities and within the subject of arts education, where only one teacher works with all the arts. Moreover, most of these activities are only occasionally developed. Few are the teachers who work only with music in schools, which indicates that music does not seem to be included in the pedagogical projects of the schools as a specific knowledge field, but as part of arts education. Most of the teachers are graduated in arts, but very few are graduated in music or in arts education with emphasis in music. The lack of a consistent music education, along with the scarcity of material and financial resources and of adequate physical space, was pointed as one of the main hindrances felt by the teachers to the development of musical activities in the schools. The data obtained with this research can provide information to base partnerships between the Federal University of Pelotas and the schools connected to the 5th CRE, in order to meet their teachers’ education needs.

The following specific objectives were established: map the elementary school choirs in the city of Florianopolis; identify how the choir practice is embedded in public and private schools; know the characteristics of different school choir groups; analyze the goals of principals, conductors, students and families in regards to the choir practice performance and identify possible relationships between the practices performed by the choirs and the roles they take in their respective contexts. In the literature review, there were different elements on school choir practice, highlighting the functions of music performed in society and schools. It was considered the social roles of music mainly as categorized by Alan Merriam, including other authors who also study the subject. The methodology used was the multiple case study within a qualitative approach. The instruments of data collection were observations, semi-structured interviews, focus groups and questionnaires. In each context we sought to understand the conceptions of principals, conductors, singers and families involved in this activity in the schools surveyed. These data were transcribed, organized and analyzed from three categories: 1) the choir as an extracurricular activity; 2) who could sing in the choir and 3) repertoire and rehearsals. The results reveal the existence of only twelve choirs among the ninety-nine elementary schools identified in Florianopolis. These choirs are all inserted as extracurricular activities in these institutions. Among the five choirs surveyed, some similarities and differences were identified in regards to the functions they perform in each context. In general, roles of institutional validation, contribution to societal integration and entertainment were predominant. The knowledge of these roles may contribute to better understand how this practice occurs in each school favoring decisions that enhance even more the offered proposals. Furthermore, the analysis and reflection in this work can foster understanding the relevance, presence and expansion of the choir practice as a tool for school music education / Esta pesquisa buscou compreender como ocorre a prática coral e que funções esta atividade exerce em cinco escolas de ensino fundamental no município de Florianópolis, no estado de Santa Catarina. Foram estabelecidos os seguintes objetivos específicos: mapear os corais das escolas de ensino fundamental da cidade de Florianópolis; identificar de que forma a prática coral está inserida nas escolas públicas e privadas; conhecer as características de diferentes grupos corais escolares; analisar os objetivos dos diretores, regentes, estudantes e familiares com relação à prática coral realizada; e identificar as possíveis relações entre as práticas realizadas pelos corais e as funções que estes exercem em seus respectivos contextos. Na revisão de literatura foram apresentados diferentes elementos sobre a prática coral escolar, destacando-se as funções da música exercidas na sociedade e na escola. Foram consideradas as funções sociais da música categorizadas principalmente por Alan Merriam, incluindo outros autores que também estudam o assunto. O caminho metodológico utilizado foi o estudo de casos múltiplos dentro de uma abordagem qualitativa. Os instrumentos de coleta de dados foram observações, entrevistas semi-estruturadas, grupos focais e questionários. Em cada contexto buscou-se compreender as concepções dos diretores, regentes, coralistas e familiares envolvidos nesta atividade nas escolas pesquisadas. Estes dados foram transcritos, organizados e analisados a partir de três categorias: 1) o contexto pesquisado; 2) o coral como atividade extracurricular e 3) práticas realizadas. Os resultados revelam a existência de apenas doze corais entre as noventa e nove escolas de ensino fundamental identificadas no município de Florianópolis. Estes corais estão todos inseridos como atividades extracurriculares nestas instituições. Entre os cinco corais pesquisados foram identificadas semelhanças e diferenças com relação às funções que os mesmos desempenham em cada contexto. De maneira geral, predominam as funções de validação das instituições, de contribuição para a integração da sociedade e de entretenimento. O entendimento dessas funções poderá contribuir para a compreensão mais aprofundada sobre como esta prática ocorre em cada escola favorecendo a tomada de decisões que aprimorem ainda mais as propostas oferecidas. Além disso, a análise e a reflexão realizadas neste trabalho poderá fomentar o entendimento da relevância, da permanência e da ampliação da prática coral como ferramenta para a educação musical escolar

In music education, aesthetic education and praxial music education serve as two major, guiding philosophical frameworks, yet supporters of each often conflict with one another. Furthermore, both are slightly problematic with respect to the specific context of the public school. Each framework is primarily music-based, however, music education has existed in the wider context of general education since the 1830s. Given the recent core-status designation for music education, as part of all fine arts, in the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, a framework from general education that supported music education could offer benefits for the domain. However, the wider context of general education is messy as well. Two groups occupy most of the space there, and remain locked in a fundamental disagreement over the purpose of a formal education. The progressive educators, historically framed by Dewey and Thorndike, contend that education functions as societal improvement. In contrast, the essentialists contend that education functions as cultural transmission. Therefore, a more specific need for music education involves selecting a framework from general education that resolves this conflict. The writings of William Chandler Bagley indicate that he balanced both considerations of a formal education while also advancing his notion of essentialism. Bagley differed from the progressive educators predominately associated with Dewey over definitions and ideas surrounding a democratic education. Emergent points of contrast with Thorndike include distinctions between social efficiency and Bagley's alternative idea of social progress. Bagley also diverged from other essentialists over definitions concerning liberal and cultural education. To make these viewpoints of Bagley explicit, I describe characteristics of a progressive education, and an essentialist education separately, before introducing Bagley. Finally, I apply Bagley's ideas into the domain of music education. Ultimately, I contend that through common outcomes of creativity, competition, and literacy, the domain of music education can remain securely grounded in the values within the public schools.

Bc. Simona Suchanová: Dramatization of Czech folk song on secondary schools (thesis) ABSTRACT This diploma thesis deals with the possibilities of dramatization of folk songs represented in textbooks for music education in the 2nd grade of elementary school. The text clarifies the phenomenon of folk song, defines the concept of dramatization as a "dramatization of the curriculum", mentions the psychological characteristics of the student in the 2nd grade of elementary school and the specifics of pedagogical work related to it. The thesis expands the methodological tasks in textbooks represented by new dramatic elements, presents new proposals for methodological tasks, conceiving dramatization as another of the creative ways of working with folk songs. In this way, it would like to contribute to the improvement and attractiveness of music education in elementary school.
