[pt] A presente tese centra-se na pesquisa de uma Instituição Escolar pouco estudada na historiografia educacional. Trata-se do Instituto de Artes da Universidade do Distrito Federal (RJ) - IA/UDF. A referida universidade foi criada por Anísio Teixeira em 1935, quando esse educador esteve à frente da Secretaria de Instrução Pública do Distrito Federal. A UDF, por meio de suas escolas, tinha a missão de reforçar o campo educacional brasileiro, promovendo a formação de docentes comprometidos com o aprimoramento da cultura nacional, por meio dos diversos ramos do conhecimento. A UDF, porém, teve curta existência (1935 a 1939), funcionou num período de grande efervescência social, política e educacional, sendo que nesse quartel foram implementadas reformas consideráveis no campo da Educação, como a criação do Ministério da Educação e a instituição de uma política de formação dos professores em nível superior, inédita no país. Muitos trabalhos foram escritos sobre a UDF e suas escolas, porém não há estudos sobre o seu Instituto de Artes. Nessa instituição atuaram como professores figuras eminentes da arte modernista brasileira, como Candido Portinari, Mário de Andrade, Alberto da Veiga Guignard, Georgina de Albuquerque e Sílvia Meyer, artistas responsáveis pela construção da identidade brasileira por meio de suas obras artísticas. Dessa forma, o objetivo central desta pesquisa é compreender como se deu a criação do Instituto de Artes da Universidade do Distrito Federal, o seu funcionamento e que nexos promoveu entre o campo das Artes Visuais e o escolar na tentativa de constituir uma cultura artístico-escolar influenciada pelas ideias modernistas. O referencial teórico que norteia as reflexões desta pesquisa baseia-se nas seguintes categorias: espaço praticado, instituições escolares/educacionais; formação docente; intelectuais; concepções de ensino de Arte e História do currículo/disciplinas Escolares e Cultura Escolar. A metodologia utilizada no presente estudo é de caráter qualitativo, tendo como foco a interpretação dos documentos à luz do referencial teórico explicitado, privilegiando a pesquisa documental, visto que a mesma propicia a busca dos indícios do funcionamento da instituição escolar e dos sujeitos encarnados que atuaram nela, na medida em que apresenta os vestígios das ações históricas dos sujeitos e das suas múltiplas representações da realidade. A análise das fontes permitiu apontar, conclusivamente, que os intelectuais e artistas modernistas viram no IA/UDF um campo fértil para a promoção de novas ideias e uma maneira de difundir seus princípios ligados à Arte Moderna por meio da formação de professores de Artes (Desenho e Pintura). / [fr] Cette thèse porte sur la recherche d une institution scolaire peu étudiée dans le terrain de l historiographie pédagogique. Il s agit de l Institut des Arts de l Université du District Fédéral (RJ) - IA / UDF. Cette université a été créée par Anísio Teixeira en 1935, lorsque cet éducateur était chargé du Département de l éducation du District Fédéral. L UDF, à partir de ses écoles, avait pour mission de renforcer le champ éducatif brésilien, en favorisant la formation d enseignants engagés dans l amélioration de la culture nationale, à travers les différentes branches de la connaissance. Cependant, l UDF a eu une courte existence (1935-1939) : elle a fonctionné pendant une période de grande effervescence sociale, politique et éducative, au cours de laquelle des réformes considérables ont été mises en oeuvre dans le domaine de l éducation, telles que la création du Ministère de l Éducation et l institution d une politique de formation des enseignants à un niveau supérieur, sans précédent dans le pays. Beaucoup de travaux ont été écrits sur l UDF et ses écoles, mais il n y a pas d études concernant son Institut des Arts. Des personnalités éminentes de cette institution étaient des professeurs d art moderniste brésilien, tels que Candido Portinari, Mário de Andrade, Alberto da Veiga Guignard, Georgina de Albuquerque et Silvia Meyer, c est-à-dire, des artistes responsables de la construction de l identité brésilienne avec leurs oeuvres artistiques. Ainsi, l objectif principal de cette recherche est de comprendre comment s est passée la création de l Institut des Arts de l Université du District Fédéral, comment il a fonctionné et quels liens ont été construits entre le domaine des Arts Visuels et l école pour tenter de constituer une culture artistique scolaire influencée par les idées modernistes. Le cadre théorique qui guide les réflexions de cette recherche est basé sur les catégories suivantes : espace pratiqué, écoles / institutions éducatives ; formation des enseignants; intellectuels; enseignement des conceptions de l art et de l histoire du curriculum / matières scolaires et culture scolaire. La méthodologie utilisée dans cette étude est qualitative, centrée sur l interprétation des documents à la lumière du cadre théorique présenté, en privilégiant la recherche documentaire, car elle permet de rechercher des preuves du fonctionnement de l institution scolaire et des sujets incarnés qui y ont agi, dans la mesure où elle présente les traces des actions historiques des sujets et leurs multiples représentations de la réalité. L analyse des sources a montré, de manière concluante, que les intellectuels et les artistes modernistes voyaient dans IA / UDF un terrain fertile pour la promotion de nouvelles idées et un moyen de diffuser leurs principes liés à l art moderne à travers la formation de professeurs d arts et de design.

This study investigated integrated learning at a Christian university, the Christian Bilingual University of the Congo (UCBC) with the view to improving higher education practice in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) which is tasked with addressing social problems. Higher education in the DRC is shaped by its colonial legacy and a teacher-centred approach focused on theory, typical of a banking-type learning and a lack of integration. These factors stifle critical thinking and initiative in students and prevent them from developing into service-oriented agents for change in their communities. The advent of Christian universities has heralded a quest for holistic training to foster character and produce civic-minded and service-oriented citizens. A qualitative study using a phenomenology as methodology investigated the lived experiences in integrated learning and service in the community of twelve purposefully selected UCBC alumni. Data was obtained through semi-structured, in-depth interviews. Findings indicated that integrated learning is holistic education which engages mind, heart, soul and body; it combines practice and theory in training and prepares students to contribute to national welfare. It occurs in a multiple component and dimensional context and is characterized by learner-centeredness, active learning and constant interaction among the school community members. It is focused on the building of the inner person of the learner. Further, participants understood transformation as part of personal development, a lifelong process that moves a person to act differently in community after his personal assumptions have been deeply revised through his encounter with integrated learning. Its impact is character development as foundation for bold action in the community, the rediscovery of one’s identity, the development of servant leadership, team work and social networking and dependence on God. Findings revealed that transformed learners initiated a change of mentality and experienced culture conversion in their communities through confronting problems and modelling servanthood. It also established the enactment of integrated learning as a contributor to personal and community transformation as a result of students’ ‘echoed words’ and actions as learning-teachers. Based on the findings recommendations were made for the strengthening of integrated learning in Christian universities. / Educational Foundations / D. Ed. (Philosophy of Education)
