Infância, mídia e educação: articulações possíveis a partir das pesquisas acadêmicas

Abstract

This paper discusses the relation between media, childhood and education, from academic research, with the aim of analyzing the scientific productions elaborated in the intersection between these three fields and the possible relations between them. The methodological course sought to research published by the CAPES. The productions found were selected and analyzed for the organization of three analytical categories: the "role of the media in the formation of the consuming child", "media culture and the formation of representations and stereotypes” and "the process of media education". The results show that the media plays a role of persuasion about subjects contributing to the formation of aesthetic standards and behavioral, as well as stereotypes. Concludes that the media and consumption are linked in a significant way, within a capitalist system. The media creates manipulation mechanisms that permeate the constitution of the child as a subject and constitutes one of the agents of the educational process. However, mediation, understood as a process that depends on the intervention of a relation between peers, it is important in the context of socialization and interpretation of information taking into account that the processes of media education transcend the context of formal education.
