Como e porque investigar o livro didático para o ensino de artes visuais

Abstract

This paper presents a trajectory built for the accomplishment of a dialogical research/analysis focusing a visual art textbook. With the intention of raising questions about the forms through which knowledge (text and image) is presented, organized and sequenced in this educational resource, this study looks at perceptions, interpretations and reactions of students to the textbook. The textbook, in this context, is understood as a cultural device that delimits and transfigures our relations with the symbolic and cultural world. After a brief discussion about the concept and characteristics of the textbook we present and discuss some procedures developed in this research process aiming to describe and analyze student's interactions with the textbook
