Relação pedagógica

: que implicações na perceção da disciplina de educação visual?

Abstract

Several national and international studies demonstrate the relevance of the Educational Relationship on learning and academic success of students. Ribeiro (1991) presented one of the earliest current models of Pedagogical Relationship: Relationship of Pedagogical Satisfaction, advocating a teacher-student interaction in which the first attracts the students’ attention to the strategies used within the classroom. In order to study the students' perception of the Pedagogical Relationship established with teachers, Wubbels, Creaton and Hooymayes (1985) proposed the Interpersonal Model of Teacher's Behaviour. Taking these models as a starting point, we conducted a case study with 23 students attending a 7th grade level class, with the following objectives: knowing the students' perception regarding the Pedagogical Relationship and its impact on the motivation for the subject of Visual Education (VE); building and implementing a programme of classroom activities to promote the pedagogical Relationship Satisfaction; assessing the impact of the programme on the perception of the Pedagogical Relationship and motivation in the subject of VE. This study consists of three phases: pre-testing and characterisation of pupils; programme implementation; post-testing and programme impact analysis. We have resorted to the following instruments: socio-demographic questionnaire, questionnaire for evaluation of teacher's pedagogical strategies (both constructed for this study) and the questionnaire of teacher interaction (QTI) (Azevedo et al., 2012). The main results point to positive changes on students' perception regarding the Pedagogical Relationship (due to teacher's enthusiasm in content approach, students' attention is aroused, promoting the link between the subject and reality) and to the subject of VE.
