Songs in the teaching of sociology

This book stands out as yet another way to think about redefining the educational horizons of the discipline of sociology and education. It seeks an educational practice that reconnects the prosaic and the poetic, using images/songs as a path/strategy for teaching/learning. To this end, the school environment in which the author worked as a teacher was used to undertake experiments that enabled the use of songs as a strategy to facilitate/stimulate the learning of sociology in secondary education. Analyses were carried out based on the reflections and results of these experiments, combined with bibliographic studies. The objective of this study is to make use of and stimulate the creation of poetic images evoked by Brazilian songs, and to deepen the perspective of the use of images from an educational standpoint, especially in the subject of Sociology in secondary education, rethinking and seeking more effective and/or more playful ways of approaching and constructing educational methods based on images; stimulating the development of the Reform of Thought and Anthropoetics of the human race (MORIN); and recognising that imagination is an essential part of our integral formation.
