    The Portuguese Journal of Artistic Education presents in its 13th edition, volume 1, a collection of studies resulting from the World Summit on Artistic Education, which took place in Funchal in 2023. The main theme of the summit was "Heritage and Sustainability: Sustainable Islands of Culture and Artistic Education." This edition addresses various aspects of artistic education, reflecting on methodologies, practices, and contemporary challenges. The gathered articles offer a comprehensive view of the intersection between art and education, highlighting the relevance of innovative educational practices and the preservation of artistic cultures.

    The first article, titled "Sustainability of Musical Cultures in Compulsory Education in Taiwan," by Jessie Hsiao-Shien Chen, examines music education in Taiwan. The study explores the integration of music into the national curriculum and the implications of the bilingual policy. The predominance of Western classical music in textbooks is discussed, and the study proposes greater inclusion of traditional music and folk songs to sustain the country’s diverse musical cultures.

    In the second article, "Collaboration with Artists as a Prerequisite for Developing Teachers’ Creative Practice: A Case Study," Michaela Kuříková addresses the collaboration between teachers and artists in formal education in the Czech Republic. The study examines how artistic practices and techniques can be adapted to the educational context to foster student creativity, presenting preliminary results of a qualitative research.

     

    Conrado Marques da Silva de Checchi, in the article "Between Tradition and Creation: Ceramics of the Alto Vale do Ribeira," presents an investigation on ceramic practices in the Alto Vale do Ribeira region, Brazil. The study highlights the educational processes and the connections between tradition and creation, reflecting on cultural values and the continuity of ceramic techniques in the region.

    The article "Dances of Wanderings and Wanderer Experiences," by Valéria Maria Chaves Figueiredo and Alba Pedreira Vieira, explores the practice of dance as a form of educational experience and reflection. The research values pluri-epistemological approaches and somatic practices, proposing a pedagogy that integrates body and movement into artistic formation.

    Dace Paeglīte, in the article "Masks and Social Messages," compares the perceptions and messages of young people before and after the start of the war in Ukraine, within the context of the project "Youth Dialogues between Continents 2020 – Latvia, Brazil, Hungary, South Africa." The study analyzes how global events influence the concerns and artistic expressions of young people, emphasizing the relevance of social and political themes in their creations.

    In "Dramatic Education for the Enhancement of Multilingual Learning in Taiwan," Chyi-Chang Li analyzes Taiwan’s national bilingual policy, criticizing the exclusive preference for English and advocating for multilingual education. The author suggests that integrating theater into language teaching can humanize and enrich the learning process, promoting a more inclusive and interactive approach.

    María-Dolores Callejón-Chinchilla, Rocío Arregui-Pradas, and Carmen Andreu-Lara, in the article "Participatory Art for Change and Social Development: A Proposal for Analysis Categories," discuss participatory artistic practices as tools for urban intervention and transformation. Based on the FACTIBLES research project, the article proposes categories of analysis to identify and replicate these practices with the goal of improving urban quality of life.

    Finally, in the article "Artistic Propositions as Provocation to Investigate Artistic/Cultural Backgrounds of Pedagogy Students in Brazil," Mirian Celeste Martins and others propose using artistic propositions to investigate the cultural and artistic backgrounds of pedagogy students. The research emphasizes the importance of collaborative and reflective practices in educational development.

    This edition reinforces the commitment of the Portuguese Journal of Artistic Education to disseminating critical and innovative knowledge in the field of artistic education. The diversity of topics addressed reflects the complexity and richness of artistic practices in contemporary education, promoting a dialogue between theory and practice, tradition and innovation.

    Vol. 11 No. 2 (2021)

    The current issue of the Revista Portuguesa de Educação Artística (RPEA) brings together a set of articles from the Atlantic axis, which demonstrate the vitality of research in the field of arts and education in countries such as Brazil, Angola, Portugal and the United Kingdom.


    The first article brings back to the debate the comparison between the articulated and supplementary regimes in the specialized artistic teaching of music in Portugal, through the accomplishment of an exploratory study that starts from the perceptions of students of the Conservatório – Escola Profissional das Artes da Madeira.


    This is followed by the article ““Dixiland”: Domingos Vilaça and the First Commercial Jazz Recorded by Portuguese Musicians”, where the researcher and professor José Manuel Amaro de Menezes has as its main purpose to understand how a classically trained musician approached musically and creatively the task of recording a jazz record.


    After two articles in the area of music, the work by Nádia de Abreu Bengo follows, with the title “Supervised Professional Internship: Perception of the Theater Intern”. This is a qualitative study, based on the Research-Action methodology, which intended to identify good supervisory practices in the theater field.


    The following article returns to music and relations between Portugal and Great Britain, around the machete musical instrument. Researcher and ukulele and guitar player Samantha Muir brings us a British perspective on the machete from Madeira Island, carrying out a systematization of the literature on this instrument.


    From Brazil, comes the article “Intertextuality in Imagery: An Approach to Teaching Art”, by researchers linked to the State University of Santa Catarina, who present research carried out in the field at a public school in the interior of the Island of Santa Catarina , in southern Brazil, in 2018, which takes the linguistic phenomenon of intertextuality as a theoretical and methodological framework.


    Finally, the article “The Fado Musical Genre: An Essay in its Trajectory, Gaps, Mutations and Sharing from the End of the Salazar Dictatorship to the 21st Century” brings us a Brazilian perspective on fado, where it is presented, in the form of an essay , a reflection on the adaptation of fado to contemporaneity.


    The current RPEA ends with a review by Teresa Eça on the edition of Italian opera librettos in Chinese, edited by Stella Guo Chen and Carlo Alberto Petruzzi.

  • Revista Portuguesa de Educação Artística
    Vol. 11 No. 1 (2021)

    O presente número da RPEA abre com o artigo "Dinâmicas de formação artística em contexto de ensino superior, como espaços abertos à prática profissional nas artes visuais", de Teresa Matos Pereira e Kátia Sá, o qual se debruçou sobre os processos criativos levados a cabo pelos alunos da disciplina de Projeto em Artes, Tecnologia e Multimédia, do curso de Licenciatura em Artes Visuais e Tecnologias da Escola Superior de Educação do Politécnico de Lisboa. O segundo artigo, da autoria de Rosinda Casais, "O Contragesto do desperdício: a experiência de uma oficina com base na relação entre matéria, pensamento e objeto" analisou a oficina "O Contragesto do desperdício", realizada no XI Congresso de Educação Artística, em 2021, no Funchal, que tinha por objetivo abordar a temática do desperdício como vetor de criatividade e reflexão, através  da exposição de trabalhos de artistas plásticos como Aristide Kouame, Paulo Perdigão, Todd Mclellan, Bernard Bras e Chris Jordan e de arquitetos como Irene Moracia, Oki Sato e Rosinda Casais.

    Nos domínios da Educação Musical, Anäis Cerqueira e Adalgisa Pontes relatam em "O corpo como fonte musical num contexto pré-escolar" o projeto de intervenção musical com o objetivo de conhecer o contributo da abordagem rítmica na metodologia de Émile Jacques-Dalcroze. As autoras demonstram que o contributo de Dalcroze é significativo em contexto pré-escolar, uma vez que ao exercitar o sentido rítmico das crianças também se proporciona o desenvolvimento da capacidade de concentração e potencia o desenvolvimento motor.

    No artigo de Rachel de Sousa Viana, "O Papel do Ensino de Artes Visuais na Educação do Ambiente Construído", a autora busca responder à questão de como o ensino de Artes poderia incorporar no currículo a Educação do Ambiente Construído, após constatar os esforços de arte-educadores na integração da dimensão estética da arquitetura e da cidade no ensino das Artes Visuais. Em "O Ensino/Aprendizagem do Desenho (Hoje) como uma Zona de Contacto", Joana Rita Gomes Mendonça parte da provocação de que a disciplina de Desenho não é largamente compreendida.

    Finalmente, o ensaio "Introducción a la Escultura Cinética; Contribuciones Latinoamericanas", de Mario Fernando Garcia, procura verificar as contribuições de importantes artistas latino- americanos no domínio do desenvolvimento estético da escultura, bem como analisa o desenvolvimento da escultura no contexto académico regional e equatoriano.

  • Portuguese Magazine of Artistic Education
    Vol. 10 No. 2 (2020)

    As usual, the current issue of the RPEA presents a varied set of articles on education and the arts, which demonstrate the wealth of research and the state of the art in this field.
    The opening article “Musical Self-Efficacy Scale for Instrumentalists and Musical Singers”, by Carlos Damas, seeks to build and validate an innovative scale, with the purpose of self-efficacy and sources of musical self-efficacy in instrumentalists and singers. Considering that good levels of self-efficacy favor learning and performance, the importance of this new scale applied in the field of classical music is understood.
    Still in the musical domain, the article by the researcher Marta Moreira seeks to understand the structural problems that affect the Specialized Artistic Teaching of Music, which hinder the achievement of the objectives that the same teaching proposes, while simultaneously trying to propose some elements for its restructuring.
    In the field of dance, researchers Ângelo Cid Neto, João Fernandes and Madalena Xavier bring, in this issue, a reflection on the training of students in their teaching-learning process in the context of artistic education.
    Flexible curriculum management is the theme addressed by the professors at the University of Madeira Natalina Cristóvão and Ana França. The researchers share the perceptions and practices of teachers in the arts areas who participated in the pilot project of flexible management of the curriculum, in six schools of the 1st CEB of the Autonomous Region of Madeira.
    Based on Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's proposal for observation of nature, the researcher at the University of São Paulo, Arley Andriolo, brings together some elements of the History of Arts that allow us to understand the main aspects of sensitive knowledge.
    In the area of ​​project dissemination, the article “Cant(a)eiro and Flormiga: Report of Two Music Projects with Plants in School Environments” stands out, in which two projects are presented that aim to offer new ways of relating to musical practice and music education, particularly through interaction with plants
    Finally, the RPEA volume 10, number 2, ends with a tribute by Teresa Norton Dias to the dancer Carlos Trincheiras, who addresses the legacy left by this Portuguese choreographer in Brazil.

  • Revista Portuguesa de Educação Artística
    Vol. 10 No. 1 (2020)

    We open the current issue with the article “Strategies for Teaching and Learning about Dance”, by professors Maria João Alves and Margarida Moura, from the Faculty of Human Motricity at the University of Lisbon. In this text, the authors seek to contribute with reflections on the different concepts underlying the pedagogical-didactic intervention in dance. It highlights the way in which they present, in a synthetic way, some good practices of teacher intervention, mainly in terms of instruction-feedback, organization / management of the class, the relational climate and discipline in the classroom.

    Also noteworthy here is the article on an unusual work from the guitar repertoire: Kotha - Três Danças de Shiva (1967), for percussed guitar, by Giacinto Scelsi (1905-1988). The authors, Nuno Aroso and Ricardo Barceló, professors at the University of Minho, carry out an in-depth study of this work that unites guitar and percussion, and whose very title alludes to influences from Orientalist currents.

    Here are two articles that focus on children's opinion and expression: “Music in My Dream School: Giving Voice to Students from Schools in the Autonomous Region of Madeira” and “Artistic Education as a Form of Communication in Time of Pandemic: Children's Representations on COVID-19 ”. In the first case, the authors replicate the research “The School I Would Like” conducted by The Guardian in 2001, in the United Kingdom, in which students were asked what their ideal school would be like. In this case, the referred study was adapted to the reality of Madeira and to the domain of music. In the second case, researcher Mónica Oliveira, from the FBAUP Art, Design and Society Research Institute, seeks to make known and understand the perceptions of pre-school children about Covid-19, through the children's visual narratives.

    The paper “Education, Visual Arts and Imaginary – AT-9 as a Methodological Proposal for Understanding the Sensitive”, by Ana Caroline Voltolini e Heloisa Preis, from the Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences of the University of Porto, seeks to highlight the applicability of the technique AT-9, conceived by Yves Durand (1987, 2005) in the educational context of plastic arts. The authors conclude that this technique “gives rise to aesthetic experiences that enable the student to a new understanding of himself and his environment”

    This issue of RPEA closes with the text "A Singular and Multifaceted Habitus – The Jesuits. Contingencies, Idiosyncrasies and Recognition Strategies in the Condition of Demiurges and Faith Spreaders", by Carmen Diego Gonçalves. The researcher reflects on the specific and multidimensional habitus of the members of the Society of Jesus, addressing some aspects of their journey around the world.

  • Revista Portuguesa de Educação Artística
    Vol. 9 No. 2 (2019)

    "In the current volume, the essay Difficulty of Jumping when a Mirror is Ahead, by Jorge Barreto Xavier, former Secretary of State for Culture, is highlighted, where the narcissistic effect of amplifying the “Mirror of the Self” is addressed on the social networks, mainly among the youngest. In addition to reflecting on this effect of technological screens in our lives, the author proposes that teachers and stakeholders in the field of artistic education assume themselves, in this new context, as builders of democracy and citizenship, through the power of creation and the courage to build new worlds. The text presented here is the result of the speech that the author held at the opening conference of the X Congress of Artistic Education, which took place in Funchal, on the 4th of September 2019. 

     

    This essay is even at the origin of the cover of this issue, where we include a painting by Caravaggio. In this painting, the master of the baroque portrays Narcissus with his hands at the water's edge, in a composition that holds him looking at himself. 

     

    In addition to this essay, some relevant topics are addressed in this issue: the public action policy of the “Full-Time School” with a focus on (un)equal opportunities; the discipline of Artistic Education in Compulsory Basic Education, in a school located in Cidade da Praia, Cape Verde; reflections on pedagogical work with children with special educational needs; the collaborative pedagogical practice between the teacher, the musician and the students in consolidating the learning and creative processes in dance; and, finally, the potential of using cinema in a learning context, as a way of bringing the school closer to the benefits of holistic learning, which integrates the arts in its curriculum."

  • Portuguese Journal of Arts Education
    Vol. 13 No. 2 (2023)

    RPEA, is a peer-review journal dedicated to arts education, disseminating articles about theory and practice in related fields such as Musical Education; Dance; Theatre; Plastic Arts; Musicology and History of the Arts, published by the Regional Conservatory of the Arts in Madeira. It was created in 2011 and has published articles by relevant scholars in Portuguese and Spanish languages.

    This issue of the journal integrates articles from the World Alliance for Arts Education Summit hold during 1-3 March 2023, in Funchal an organized by the Regional Conservatory with the support from the Regional government of Madeira. The World Alliance for Arts Education (WAAE) is a global arts alliance between international arts education organizations: the International Theater/Theatre and Education Association (IDEA); the International Society for Education through Art (InSEA); the International Society for Music Education (ISME) and the World Dance Association (WDA). The theme of the congress was ‘Heritage and Sustainability: Sustainable Islands of Culture and Arts Education and during the congress, participants were able to discuss the draft of the recently ratified UNESCO Framework for Culture and Arts education resulting in a useful list of recommendations. This special RPEA issue 14 (2) is, therefore, a result of that important event.

    Reading the articles through the metaphor of arts education as islands in a metaverse and pluriverse world, this issue brings very important issue to be further discussed. Including dialogues by experts in visual arts education; music education; theatre and museum education from very distant geographical and cultural context such as Brazil; Canada; Czech Republic Republique of Singapore and Portugal.

    Collaboration in music pedagogies and collaborative didactics are approached by Tessandra Wendzich and Bernard W. Andrews, from the University of Ottawa, Canada, with the article ‘The New Sounds of Learning: Composing music for young musicians’, were they talk about a research project partnered with the Canadian Music Centre and the Ottawa Catholic School Board intending to understand parameters of writing repertoire for young musicians, discussing students’ thoughts and reflections on music composition.

    Rebecca Heaton and Yuzhu Sun, from Nanyang Technological University discuss art education in the metaverse reflecting upon the Interaction between the physical and digital worlds, integrating culture and education in the crypto realities of blockchain and e-learning business, they acknowledged a few challenges for arts education in the present times.

    Transcultural and intercultural issues are approached through the lenses of music and theatre; acknowledging the need to learn traditional forms of arts as well as to understand the hybrid condition of new forms. As discussed by Weijie Yu from the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts, Republic of Singapore writing about the Preservation and Practice of the beautiful Tradition of Xiqu in Mandarin Drama Curriculum Design and Actor-Teaching. Teresinha Rodrigues Prada Soares, from Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso, Brazil talks about intertextuality and hybridity between the western so called erudite and popular cultures, through the musical repertoire of formal higher education for guitar (bachelor’s degree ).

    Kristýna Říhová, Anežka Kantorová and Eliška Jelínková from National Gallery Prague & Charles University in Prague bring a fantastic case study showing the excellent dynamics of the Educational service in the National Gallery in Prague, this time about the program accompanying the amazing exhibition by Eva Koťátková ‘ My Body is not an Island’, through transformative pedagogical practices of gallery education for schools and public in general.  Also in the area of arts and museum education, Mirian Celeste Martins and Maria Elisa Sousa Lopes contribute to the transformative power of arts in creating learning and ludic environments, as it is the case in the studies developed for museums in S-Paulo by students from Pedagogy from the P Mackenzie University, Brazil, they describe in their article ‘Educational Ambiences: Expanding Artistic/Cultural Backgrounds of Pedagogy Course Students in Brazil’.

    Advocacy for the arts, culture and arts education in Europe is firmly referred in the article ‘Structural Barriers to Accessing Culture, by Liliana Rodrigues from Centro de Investigação em Educação, University of Madeira (CIE-UMa) and Elisabete Oliveira, from University of Lisboa claims for the acknowledgement for visual arts education as a patrimony in itself providing an exhaustive report about the history of visual education curriculum in Portugal and the benefits of visual arts & design education for the SDG and UNESCO educational goals .

    We may feel arts education is in the margins; we may feel difficult to cross the waves between cultures, between present and past, between traditional and contemporary technologies. Arts education in its many fields may be seen as separate islands, in a first glimpse, but looking attentively to the details, we will find similar configurations as well as specific domains of learning that need to be preserved and transformed. As we read through the articles of this issue, we navigate from island to island, feeling we belong to a greater archipelago rich in variety of landscapes, were creative artistic learning occurs.

    Vol. 9 No. 1 (2019)

    In its volume 9, the Portuguese Journal of Artistic Education (RPEA) is now published by the Conservatory - Professional School of the Arts of Madeira. This change in editorial ownership does not alter the strategy of the journal, which continues to seek to internationalize its action. Thus, since the last issue, the RPEA has been indexed in the CAPES Journal Portal (Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel - Brazil), one of the most relevant scientific directories in South America. Currently, the RPEA is indexed and referenced in 10 directories of international scientific journals, which contributes to increase the international credibility of this journal.

    This volume highlights the inclusion, for the first time, of a systematic interview with musician António Victorino D'Almeida, where issues related to the current panorama of Portuguese music and artistic education are addressed. In addition to this interview, some relevant topics are addressed in this issue: the training of visual and technological arts teachers, based on a case study at the Lisbon School of Education; sexual identities and the role of arts education in this context; and the history of classic guitar in the Iberian Peninsula. Finally, the magazine ends with two essays on dance problems today, which aim to stimulate debate in this field.

  • RPEA
    Vol. 8 No. 2 (2018)

    The current issue of the Revista Portuguesa de Educação Artística (Portuguese Journal of Art Education) has a particular characteristic in the history of this periodical. For the first time, we have chosen to create a special dossier dedicated to the theme "Borderless: Global Narratives in Art Education". This dossier is the result of a partnership with scientific journals from five countries (USA, Finland, Taiwan, Spain and the Czech Republic) and was created through InSEA (International Society for Education through Art), headed by Teresa Eça. This international partnership will be presented in July 2019 at an InSEA congress in Vancouver, Canada, in a communication by Ryan Shin, a North American professor at the University of Arizona. The articles that make up this volume of the RPEA will thus also focus on this presentation.

    In the thematic dossier, we counted on the participation of Portuguese researchers (Carlos Valente, Rita Rodrigues, Margarida Moura and Maria João Alves), but also from Mexico (Patricia A. González-Moreno and Rubén Carrillo) and from Brazil (Rita Luciana Berti Bredariolli) .

    All of these articles seek to answer current central questions, such as: Who are we in relation to other cultures and countries? What are the issues in art education that have great influence around the world? How does an art educator approach and teach with a narrative of "being global"?

    This theme thus challenges us to look at the "other" as we reflect on the inside. In practice, it is believed here that in tackling global issues and other worldviews, we are also challenged to reflect on our already established viewpoints on and beyond local and regional history and knowledge.

    At a time when the phenomenon of globalization is increasingly central to our daily lives and threatens the current cultural and artistic diversity, this dossier thus seeks to contribute to new approaches to this phenomenon. As educators in a global world, what are the current global issues, concerns, and educational problems?

    Apart from this dossier, the current issue of the RPEA also has an investigation into the causes of school dropout in specialized artistic education, based on a case study about the Conservatório - Escola das Artes da Madeira.

    Vol. 8 No. 1 (2018)

    In its eighth volume, the Revista Portuguesa de Educação Artística (RPEA) continued to pursue the goal of internationalization. Since the last issue, launched in December 2017, the RPEA has been indexed in two more databases of international scientific journals: SIS - Scientific Indexing Services; and CiteFactor - Academic Scientific Journals. Currently, the RPEA is indexed and referenced in nine important directories of scientific journals, which aims to enable researchers in the field of art education to have another publication with international credibility at their disposal. Also in this scope, we have enlarged the number of members of the Scientific Council of the journal, in order to increase the number of specialists and areas of artistic education. This volume also highlights the partnership held with the Congress of Research in Artistic Education, held in November 2017, by the Superior School of Education of Viseu. Some of the articles published here were the result of the debate held at this congress. In this issue, the central problems of current artistic education are discussed: the role of museums in the field of artistic education; research in education from the field of arts; the relationship between artists and schools; inclusion strategies through the arts, with children and young people at risk; artistic projects of intervention in the community; or what the ideal profile of the teacher in the course of musical initiation.

    Vol. 7 No. 2 (2017)

    Revista Portuguesa de Educação Artística (RPEA), vol. 7, issue 2 is a landmark in this scientific journal. From then on, an RPEA is indexed in more than two databases of international scientific journals: the Scientific Journal Impact Factor (SJIF); and the MIAR (Matrix of Information for Analysis of Periodicals), of the University of Barcelona. In total, an RPEA is currently indexed and referenced in six major directories of scientific journals, which demonstrates the success of the journey undertaken by international credibility.

    This year, a RPEA also consolidated a biannual periodicity of the journal, an essential factor for integration in the main international scientific databases. From a periodic to half-yearly evaluation, the possibilities of accessing a larger number of directories and databases increased. However, this figure is applicable to some of the rules - with the levels of research quality and editorial ability of the RPEA - which have been happily exceeded.

    Finally, one semester, an RPEA was invited to integrate an international project with five scientific journals from countries (USA, Finland, Taiwan, Spain and Czech Republic), which is an opportunity for a dissemination of research on art education in Portugal , while at the same time proving the journal's credibility. In this project, the six series return to network and dedicate to their 2018 issues a common theme: "Without Borders: Global Narratives in Artistic Education" (Without Borders: Global Narratives in Arts Education). This partnership emerged through the InSEA (International Society of Education for the Arts). In 2019, a conference will be held on the city of Vancouver, where it is its main and great source of resources.

    More information can be found on the RPEA website (http://rpea.recursosartisticos.madeira.gov.pt). The answers are pleasing to all who have contributed to this project and those who have collaborated in the promotion and are not quality additions in the area of ​​artistic education. To all our thanks.

  • RPEA
    Vol. 7 No. 1 (2017)

    Since the last issue, the Revista Portuguesa de Educação Artística (RPEA) has some new features:
    was indexed in another scientific directory - REDIB, the Ibero-American Network of Innovation and Scientific Knowledge - and all the articles published since the first number, now have a Digital Individual Identifier (DOI). REDIB is a platform of Ibero-American scope and aims to facilitate the access, dissemination and valorization of the scientific production generated in the Ibero-American countries, being the fourth scientific database in which the RPEA is indexed, which certifies the quality standards advocated in this publication. Digital object identifier (DOI) is a system that aims to increase security and facilitate the localization of digital objects on the Internet, becoming increasingly a requirement of the main directories and international databases of scientific publications. Thus, by joining the DOI system, the RPEA increases its quality standards and provides researchers with a useful benefit in locating and defending copyright.
    We hope to continue to improve the quality of the EAPP, so as to enable artistic researchers to have a further journal that will assist them in disseminating the results of their research and in the progression of their careers.

  • Revista Portuguesa de Educação Artística
    Vol. 6 No. 2 (2016)

    Nos últimos 20 anos, assistimos a um aumento do número de revistas científicas e, simultaneamente, a um crescimento da exigência no processo de aceitação e avaliação dos artigos científicos. É este rigor que atribui credibilidade a uma revista científica, e que, constituindo um verdadeiro selo de garantia, leva à recepção de um maior número de artigos de qualidade. Entre os aspetos que se tornaram centrais e requisitos mínimos para uma revista científica contam-se: a existência de revisão dos artigos por, pelo menos, dois revisores externos especialistas na área (de forma anónima e sem qualquer dado sobre o nome do autor do artigo); e a indexação da publicação em causa em diretórios de revistas científicas credíveis (ou seja, a certificação do cumprimento das dezenas de critérios exigidos por entidades internacionais no domínio de publicações científicas).

    Tendo cumprido com estes objetivos nos últimos anos, a direção da Revista Portuguesa de Educação Artística (RPEA) continua a procurar melhorar a qualidade dos artigos presentes nesta publicação e a dar resposta ao elevado número de propostas que recebe. Deste modo, as prioridades  de 2016 centraram-se principalmente no que se segue: passar a periodicidade da RPEA de anual para semestral; e expandir o Conselho Científico, procurando manter os melhores revisores e aumentar o número de membros internacionais. 
    Neste contexto, é com agrado que a RPEA conta atualmente no seu Conselho Científico com membros pertencentes a um conjunto alargado de países, tais como Espanha, França, Canadá, México, Colômbia e Brasil. A internacionalização da RPEA e o aumento da periodicidade são assim duas apostas importantes para alcançar, num futuro próximo, a indexação desta publicação em diretórios científicos mais influentes e conseguir, para a área da educação artística, uma publicação conceituada que auxilie os investigadores deste domínio a progredirem nas suas carreiras e a divulgarem os seus resultados a um público especializado mais alargado.

  • Revista Portuguesa de Educação Artística

    Desde o último número, a Revista Portuguesa de Educação Artística (RPEA) passou a ser indexada no Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ). O DOAJ é um dos mais importantes diretórios de periódicos científicos do mundo e é mantido pela Universidade de Lund, na Suécia. Atualmente estão indexados no DOAJ 11416 revistas de 136 países, perfazendo um total de 2,224,836 de artigos disponíveis. A RPEA segue agora o princípio de que disponibilizar gratuitamente o conhecimento científico ao público proporciona uma maior democratização mundial do conhecimento. Assim, todos os artigos da RPEA são agora disponibilizados online de forma aberta, livre e sem custos para o utilizador.
    A RPEA continua a ter a versão impressa para bibliotecas académicas e para os interessados em ter uma versão em suporte papel. Todavia, a partir de agora, ao aderir ao “Open Journal System”, a direção da RPEA procura aumentar o número de leitores dos artigos publicados e o impacto da revista no meio académico.
    Além do DOAJ, a RPEA é indexada e referenciada pelas seguintes bases de dados internacionais de publicações periódicas científicas: ERIH PLUS – European Reference Index for the Humanities and Social Sciences; e Latindex – Sistema Regional de Informação para as Revistas Científicas de América Latina, Caribe, Espanha e Portugal.

    A primeira etapa foi realizada com a indexação no diretório Latindex (Sistema Regional de Informação para as Revistas Científicas de América Latina, Caribe, Espanha e Portugal) e, passado poucos meses, a RPEA foi integrada no Índice Europeu de Referência para as Ciências Sociais e Humanas (ERIH PLUS). Este reconhecimento internacional da RPEA comprova a importância do investimento realizado pelo Governo Regional da Madeira, através da Secretaria Regional de Educação, no domínio da investigação na área da educação artística. Com estas indexações em importantes diretórios de revistas científicas, a RPEA confirma o seu lugar de destaque no panorama das publicações científicas portuguesas, sendo atualmente reconhecida como uma das mais importantes revistas na área da educação artística em Portugal.

    Ao comemorarmos quatro anos de atividade da Revista Portuguesa de Educação Artística, é com satisfação que observamos o contínuo e elevado interesse de professores, investigadores e gestores em compreender e estudar o fenómeno complexo que é o do domínio das artes na educação.
    Felizmente, após décadas em que as artes tiveram uma menor presença no domínio da investigação, é hoje generalizadamente aceite que o seu ensino pode e deve ser continuamente melhorado através da reflexão e do estudo sistemático, assente em modelos científicos discutidos em contexto académico.

    O terceiro número da Revista Portuguesa de Educação Artística (RPEA) mantém o princípio de privilegiar, de modo igual, as diferentes áreas artísticas. No entanto, ao longo dos últimos três anos, tem-se tornado notório que as propostas de artigos enviados para a RPEA continuam a refletir uma educação artística muito mais ativa nas áreas das artes visuais e da música e menos dinâmica nas áreas da dança e do teatro – situação natural no atual panorama curricular do ensino básico. Apesar deste cenário, é possível encontrar neste número artigos que versam sobre dança, música e artes visuais, tendo havido uma preocupação, aquando a seleção dos artigos propostos, de equilíbrio entre estes domínios artísticos.

    Este artigo tem como objetivo uma melhor compreensão da relação que se estabelece entre os professores de instrumento (ou canto) e os seus alunos no contexto da aula individual em Portugal e descobrir se esta relação tende a afetar o percurso pedagógico-musical dos alunos, verificando qual a possível ligação entre ambos. Para tal realizou-se um questionário a professores e outro a alunos, que foram distribuídos em quatro conservatórios portugueses. Os resultados foram analisados com o programa de estatística SPSS 19. Na discussão verificou-se que em Portugal tanto a maioria dos professores como dos alunos tem a perceção de partilhar uma relação satisfatória, afirmando os professores que se sentem realizados na sua profissão e os alunos que se sentem motivados e com confiança nos seus professores. Ambos concordam com a premissa que esta relação é de extrema importância para a boa evolução do aluno como músico, tal como os livros e estudos consultados para a base teórica deste artigo nos indicam.

    Com o presente número, o Gabinete Coordenador de Educação Artística da Secretaria Regional de Educação e Cultura inicia a publicação de uma revista anual dedicada à educação e às artes. Após mais de três décadas a implementar as artes no ensino genérico, é com grande contentamento que esta instituição observa o grande crescimento ocorrido ao nível do número de cursos de mestrado e doutoramento em artes, bem como a consequente valorização deste domínio no seio da comunidade académica. Infelizmente, este crescimento não foi acompanhado no domínio das publicações, não tendo surgido um número significativo de revistas com arbitragem científica que permitam uma divulgação eficiente dos resultados alcançados nos últimos anos.
