Art Teaching in Integral Education

This research aims to investigate the teaching activities of primary school teachers who work in art workshops in extended day municipal schools in the city of Londrina, Paranل. The object of study was the teacher and their teaching action. The method used was dialectical. This is a qualitative and quantitative study in which an open and closed questionnaire was administered to these teachers. The research investigated whether there had been any changes in the teaching activities of these art workshop teachers, what the changes were, the positive points, the negative points, and sought to find out whether the More Education Programme and other actions - such as continuing training and the exchange of experiences - had contributed to improving the teaching activities of these teachers. The methodology used in the continuing education courses for these teachers was Ana Mae Barbosas Triangular Proposal (1991), which articulates three conceptual fields of art: artistic making, aesthetic appreciation and historical contextualisation.
