Abstract

This study is part of the research line "Foundations, Politics and Management of Education", in the field of historical research of a school institution, of the Postgraduate Program in Basic Education, at the Federal University of Uberlândia (UFU). This master's thesis presents a historical-educational research that proposes a more in-depth reflection on the contributions of teacher training in the Teacher Training Course in Art Education at the Dr. José Zóccoli de Andrade State Conservatory of Music in Ituiutaba/MG, from 1976 to 1996. The research aimed to historically contextualize the creation and history of the Teacher Training Course in Art Education offered by the Dr. José Zóccoli de Andrade State Conservatory of Music, its development and operation, from its creation in 1976 to 1996. The problem stems from the questions: In what political-economic and socio-cultural context did the creation of the Teacher Training Course in Art Education at the State Conservatory of Music in Ituiutaba-MG take place between the years 1976 and 1996? Did this course meet the demand of the entire Tijuca and regional society, or only a small part of it? Which social class had access to the course? The methodology consisted of bibliographic and documentary research; the historical sources used for this research were based on newspapers, printed documents, certificates, declarations, curriculum planning, course curriculum, course curriculum plan, curriculum letter, invitation, authorization to operate, request for change of nomenclature, and current legislation. The aim was to critically analyze articulations, relationships, tensions, and contradictions in the history of school institutions, in order to construct the history of the Teacher Training Course in Art Education offered by the Dr. José Zóccoli de Andrade State Conservatory of Music, from 1976 to 1996. The theoretical foundation was based on authors such as Alvarenga (2024), Barbosa (1991, 2008, 2015), Coelho (2013), Delmás (2012), Fonterrada (2008), Iavelberg (2009), Le Goff (1990), Moraes (2008, 2014, 2015), Saviani (2005, 2008, 2009, 2013, 2019), Tanuri (1979, 2000), Tartuce (2018), Veiga (2007, 2011, (2014), relevant legislation at the time and in force, among others that formed the historical-conceptual and theoretical basis of the research. The results showed that the implementation of the Teacher Training course in Art Education took place during a time of intense transformations in the national scenario, marked by technocratic educational policies, the expansion of the education network, and also the growing appreciation of specialized teacher training. It was evident that access to the course was marked by restrictions, thus it was not broad and unrestricted, even though the Conservatory was a public institution. It is concluded that the creation of the Teacher Training course in Art Education played a relevant role in the training of teachers and in the consolidation of local cultural practices, where it was of great importance in Art Education as a field of professionalization and as an element of cultural appreciation.
