Educação e histórias em quadrinhos: relação das HQs no curso de Pedagogia da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte

Abstract

The Course Conclusion Paper, in the form of a scientific article, is the result of a bibliographical research on the contributions of comic books to initial teacher training, especially in the Pedagogy Course at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN). The methodology used combines bibliographic and descriptive procedures. We carried out a survey of studies based on the keywords: “education and comic books” on websites repository of TCCs, theses and dissertations, in order to analyze the frequency of publications in the last four years. The curricular structure of the UFRN Pedagogy Course was also analyzed in order to identify which components address the theme of comics in their syllabi. A form containing five guiding questions was also shared among the 2024.1 graduates of the UFRN Pedagogy Course to find out whether the comics approach was worked on during their training and how it was. In conclusive terms, a low production of academic works linked to the proposed topic was observed, we verified the absence of comics in the curricular structure analyzed and, despite the few respondents, the questionnaire revealed the interest of the trainees in the topic.
