Pedagogical dialogues: "red like the sky" from the perspective of learning theories

Abstract

This article seek to analyse the educational theories present in the filme “Red like the sky”, how it was praticed the teaching of children who studied at Cassoni Institute boarding school and as Mirco, main character of this movie, brings out a diferente way of learning. The movie ‘Red like the sky’ has the school routine of visually impaired children as the central idea of the film, and depicts a stage in Mirco's life, an active and curious child, surrounded by friends, who one day suffers a domestic accident that left him blind. For analysis, qualitative research was used, through bibliographic investigations and detailed description by authors about learning theories. Among the results, we identified that the use of cinematographic work allows the formation of knowledge to take place from the observation of the described reality, not being as obvious as it appears, many times, reading a scientific article, thus the comparation between the eventes identified in the film under the perspective of different authors allows the viewer to resort to different mental processes, from ideas identified in the work, about some of the characteristics present in the school universe where children with disabilities are normally inserted.
