| dc.description.abstract | This research aims to analyze the relationship between Design and Education
in the process of knowledge construction and the learning management of students in
the 9th year of Elementary School. Therefore, the research was carried out with 30
students from the 9th grade of Elementary School at Medianeira school, a teaching
institution of the Jesuit Basic Education Network, located in Curitiba, capital of Paraná.
The used methodology was the qualitative approach and, as a methodological
procedure, action research was chosen, based on the theoretical thinking of Thiollent
(2011). Data were collected through a questionnaire and a diary. Subsequently, they
were treated via content analysis (Bardin, 2021) and descriptive analysis (Angrosino,
2007), respectively. The theoretical foundation follows the direction of changes in
contemporary society and the information, knowledge, and learning society. It also
addresses school management and innovation; the catalytic process and Design;
Design and education; interdisciplinarity and Design; Design as a discipline and visual
literacy; digital literacy; learning through Design projects; BNCC and Skills for the 21st
Century; UNESCO's vision of learning for the 21st century and Jesuit colleges
committed to human and academic excellence. The results indicate that when the field
of Design and education assembles, leading the student as the protagonist of their
learning, we understand Design as a catalyst in learning and a driver of change in their
social environment. Thus, the research presents as an intervention project, a lesson
plan designed so that it can be adapted by other institutions that focus on a
pedagogical proposal that contributes to the full development of the subject, capable
of acting in a society in constant transformation. With the completion of the Design's
discipline, the school community became aware of the intervention proposal developed
by the students, based on a global project, which aims to raise awareness about the
right of the child to education. This dissertation reinforces the potential of Design in
basic education with a focus on the development of relevant skills in the conscious
formation, of competent, compassionate subjects, committed to supporting social
change. | en |
