História em quadrinhos na educação: um estado da arte na base de dados SCIELO

Abstract

Comics are a language that can provide educators and students with an interesting didactic and pedagogical resource that can help them in the development of pedagogical practices in the classroom, enriching learning. From a survey and bibliographic analysis carried out in the Scielo database, we aimed to investigate what the academic production says about comics indexed in this database, in the period between 1997 and 2020. Among some results, 9 scientific articles about comics were found. Of this total, we found that 2 articles discuss the reality; 4 refer specifically to teaching methodology, and 3 are related to the publishing market. The theme is important, because it can contribute to expand a little more study about comics, by unveiling what is being talked about, discussed and analyzed in the academic productions indexed in the Scielo database that address this theme in educational research. The research also concluded that the main contributions of the comics researched are related to the beneficial use of this language as a didactic-pedagogical resource or teaching methodology in education, regardless of the teaching level (basic education or higher education) and the area of knowledge. However, one finding caught our attention: none of the articles found addresses the arts (both the area of knowledge and the curricular subject) as an object of study or, even, related to the research on comics.
