A música como processo do desenvolvimento cognitivo na educação infantil

Abstract

The aim of this study is to highlight the importance of using music as diffuse or punctual tool to approach different ways of understanding the learning absorsoes in different sciences.The process of music education in this new century, in the age of multimedia, continues to be very demanding, and the teacher, in turn, is increasingly lacking in information to significantly contribute to the child's musical aesthetic development. It was conducted a qualitative research, with the participation of six teachers, 20 to 50, and 100 students, 10- 16 years of two private schools in the city of São José dos Campos (SP). There wasn´t a previous selection of respondents that did not have interference in the survey. The return of the teachers was unanimous (100%), all said that music contributes to the construction of knowledge of children and adolescents. It was observed that the students listen to music to relax (29%) at the time of playing sports (30%) and study (25%) and 16 did not respond. Once the concept had been that the song "distract" students in school assignments, but now seems to have become the opposite, because the disposition and attention span are favored with the sound accompanying tasks. It was noted that there is among the surveyed students a homogeneous group, as each takes the music in a different way, a fact that depends on the social context in which it is inserted, namely lifestyle, fashions, ways of behavior, desires, creating identity, identification with idols, the ability to rejoice or disposition of control.Music has great influence on cognitive development and social skills, moral and emotional needs of students, in the construction of knowledge, and in moral aspects of conducts and behaviors .
