USE OF DIGITAL MEDIA FOR SCIENTIFIC DISSEMINATION: THE PERCEPTION OF MUSIC THERAPISTS AND MUSIC TEACHERS

Abstract

The online scientific dissemination provides the expansion and diversification of the network of people interested in disseminating and learning about science. The objective of the study was to evaluate the perception of music therapists and music teachers about the use of digital media for scientific dissemination and exchange of inclusive experiences in formal and non-formal education spaces and spaces for therapies. A field research was carried out from March 2016 to March 2017, in which 59 music teachers and 25 music therapists participated, for a total of 84 participants. Data collection took place in person through an interview with a questionnaire. This study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the Hospital Universitário Clementino Fraga Filho under the number 1,394,198. Results: 92.35% of the participants consider it important to have a specific vehicle - such as a website / blog, among others - in which it is possible to exchange experiences on the use of the arts in the process of inclusion in the educational environment and in spaces intended for therapy. Therefore, the study suggests the use of media to acquire scientific knowledge about inclusive experiences in formal and non-formal spaces of education and spaces for therapies.
