O ensino de música do Projeto X em uma penitenciária de segurança máxima do município de João Pessoa - PB.

Abstract

The present work aims to understand, in general, how the teacher's pedagogical practice is carried out in music classes in a maximum security penitentiary system in the city of João Pessoa-Paraíba. The study is conducted using a qualitative case study approach, involving a semi-structured interview with the teacher of the selected project. The study addresses several aspects, such as the development of music classes in the project, the challenges faced by the teacher in a penitentiary environment, issues related to resocialization in Brazil, overcrowding in prisons and the infrastructure in penitentiary institutions. The scarcity of specific articles on teaching music as a resocialization tool in a maximum security system is highlighted. The research results point to the various benefits of teaching music in this specific context. Among these benefits, we highlight the promotion of the cognitive and emotional development of re educated students, the improvement in self-esteem and personal expression, in addition to the possibility of providing a constructive way of using time and a positive alternative to dealing with the characteristic stress and tension of the prison environment. This study positions itself as a significant resource in promoting awareness of the importance of resocialization and seeks to provide a deeper understanding of the issues surrounding the reintegration of individuals serving sentences. Furthermore, this work can effectively contribute to dialogues and reflections on a more holistic view of the topic.
