BORGES, Adilson de Souza  and  DELGADO, Ana Cristina Coll. Knowledge of musical content that constitutes the professional identity of Art teachers skilled in Visual/Fine Arts. Práxis Educativa [online]. 2024, vol.19, e22806.  Epub June 18, 2024. ISSN 1809-4309.  https://doi.org/10.5212/praxeduc.v.19.22806.042.

This study aimed to investigate the knowledge of musical content that constitutes the professional identity of teachers who teach music at school qualified in Visual/Plastic Arts. Based on a theoretical basis about teaching knowledge, it was carried out a qualitative investigation - participant observation - that involved four art teachers. The data was constituted through interviews, questionnaires and observation field notes. On the one hand, the results revealed that the knowledge of musical content that constitutes the teachers’ professional identity is related to the history of music and art, the elements of musical language, practical skills, musical theoretical-practical knowledge and ontological perspectives. On the other hand, the analysis of the empirical material also revealed that teachers have significant limitations, especially with regard to the theoretical mastery of the elements of musical language, when proposing practical teaching and learning activities and when discussing the specific aspects of musical knowledge.

Keywords : Musical knowledge; Professional identity; Qualified teachers in Visual/Plastic Arts.
