Digital Photography in Basic Education: essays and experiments in the production of visualities

Abstract

This study presents an educational proposal for experimentation and investigation of the daily life of students in the 6th year of Elementary School, started in 2021, aiming to establish relationships with mobile technologies (Smartphones and Tablets) in the production of digital images, through the language of photography. Considering the concern to integrate new technologies into basic education as relevant, it is proposed an approach, where the student dialogues with Art, between different disciplines in a critical, poetic and reflective way and, with this, produce new knowledge and learning. Furthermore, we seek to develop the autonomy of those involved, in a researcher and active role in their learning. With the proposal to provide visibility for students to articulate varied practices, in a pedagogical ideology that starts from a qualitative approach and weaves relationships with arts-based research (PBA) and from the perspective of Visual Culture, there is the possibility of producing records in the form of visualities and narratives, encourage writing, reading and representation, collaborating in the construction of a virtual exhibition called “Imagens no meu path'' on Instagram, a repository as a way of sharing the proposal and culminating the results of the productions.
