RESUMO

This dissertation aims at discussing the relationship between the school and the use of audiovisuals, mainly, cinema. Our starting point is that even though schools are more equipped than ever, the insertion of the cinema in schools is not effective. The educational importance of the cinema since the beginning of the 20th Century has been recognized and in these 100 years, the invention that seemed to be only a prankster with no future became the greatest entertainment industry, also known as the 7th Art. With the advance of technology and the improvement of audiovisual equipments, nowadays, great movie productions are accessible to most part of the population through VHS and DVD. Such growth seemed to be ignored by schools, and it is noticed that public administrations publicize largely that schools are equipped with the necessary equipments for the reproduction of films, but with no preoccupation when it comes to the courses for teachers and educators for the task. Besides the bibliographical research about the possible intersections between cinema and education an empirical research in Public High Schools in the capital of the state of São Paulo was adopted as methodology. We used questionnaires about the equipments the schools owned and interviews with the teachers about their background, ways of utilizing the resources and the results of such uses. This piece of work also discusses the historical importance of the language and its way of cumulated historical knowledge to be transmitted by the school to its members. The hypothesis of this dissertation that (1) movie language besides being a pedagogical tool is also a knowledge tool that allows a broader perception of reality, and (2) that the courses for teachers do not prepare the professionals for an adequate use of this resource and its language were confirmed during the research, leading us to the conclusion that the school still uses new languages, technologies and knowledge in a disjointed, inadequate and insufficient ways that leads to inferior results that could be achieved through the effective use of these languages, technologies and knowledge.
