Potências formativas através de sons, imagens e gestos: criações artísticas na educação profissional e tecnológica no IFBA – Campus Ilhéus

Abstract

This research proposes to discuss the importance of the aesthetic dimension in educational practices in Vocational and Technological Education, when considering the integral formation of students. Therefore, it seeks to work from the concept of omnilaterality, approached in Karl Marx, the possibilities of formation and constitution of subjects based on their maximum potential, starting from the understanding that the transformation of the world happens through actions and through inventive moves. The integral formation of the subjects is placed as a problem, comparing the notion of omnilaterality with the training possibilities in Vocational and Technological Education, criticizing the reductionist vision that links Vocational Education only to the learning and exercise of technical skills for insertion in the market. The school routine (ALVES, 2003) crossed by several movements, reveals reality as dynamic complexity, conceiving it in the dialectical relationship between subjects, affections, objects and projects, etc. Everyday life brings out inventive possibilities that support creativity, the proposition of new ways of doing and thinking the gestures that color the surpassing made to the models of a technicist education. Thus, the participatory research mobilized in this work constitutes a fundamental step in the construction of narratives and in the visibility of this school routine. The locus of the research was the Federal Institute of Bahia, Ilhéus campus. The research participants were students of integrated secondary education, subsequent and graduates, as well as servers and employees of the institution, who discussed the importance of the aesthetic dimension in the training of students. As a result, an audiovisual archive was proposed as an educational device, composed of narratives, creations and agencies of the research participants. With this, the importance of the aesthetic dimension for the integral formation of students in Vocational Education became evident.
