FIGUEIREDO, Sergio Luiz Ferreira de. Music and the arts in the generalist teacher education: polivalência or interdisciplinarity?. Revista da FAEEBA: Educação e Contemporaneidade [online]. 2017, vol.26, n.48, pp.79-96. ISSN 0104-7043.  https://doi.org/10.21879/faeeba2358-0194.v26.n48.3579.

The objective of this text is to discuss issues related to music and the arts in the education of the generalist teacher who work in Early Childhood Education and in the initial years of Elementary Education. The focus of the discussion is on the concepts of polivalência and interdisciplinarity, seeking to understand how these concepts apply, complement each other, or overlap in official documents. The methodology is based on the principles of documentary research, using texts referring to educational legislation in dialogue with literature. The results point to the imprecision in the legal orientations referring to the teacher who should teach music or arts, as well as the imprecise or incomplete use of the concept of interdisciplinarity in several texts, which contributes to the maintenance of predominantly disciplinary educational practices. In the case of the teaching of music and the arts, although official documents do not indicate polivalência as a pedagogical model, the literature evidences the presence of studies on interdisciplinarity and teaching of the arts is evident in order to build a more solid frame of reference for the educational proposals in the education of generalists.

Keywords : Music Education; Music and Pedagogy; Generalist Teacher Preparation; Polivalência; Interdisciplinarity.
