This article aims to present a brief history of country music, through qualitative bibliographic research and exhibitions of musical excerpts to offer teachers and other interested parties a path of educational intervention. Music associated with education promotes dynamism in the learning and teaching process. Specifically, country music contextualizes the social relationships of students in rural regions and also in large urban centers. From the Brazilian colonial period, in the mid-16th century to the present day, this musical style adapts and characterizes the historical and chronological times through which it passes. Each country song represents a historical context permeated with culture and sensibility. It is an investigation that explains the didactic and educational potential of the use of country music in the study of human and social sciences within the new high school.

This theoretical essay presents a brief literature review on the Business Model in Circular Economy (CE) and aims to answer the question: what would be the main aspects of the circularity to integrate Countryside Education in the current context of the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil? In an essayistic manner, the study made it possible to reflect critically on the opportunities that CE can represent for Countryside Education. The results reveal converging aspects between Countryside Education and CE and that could be seen as a reference for solutions that deeply comprise the cause of socio-environmental problems currently present in the life and production in rural territories in Brazil.

O presente artigo tem como objetivo explicitar o uso do audiovisual no processo de ensino e aprendizagem por meio, mais especificamente, da abordagem do mundo do trabalho em esquetes do grupo Porta dos Fundos. Por intermédio de uma revisão bibliográfica sobre o tema, de experiências de docência e de debates coletivos em um grupo de trabalho, constituiu-se um arcabouço de conceitos relativos à temática do trabalho revistos e exemplificados em oito esquetes. Em consonância, promovemos um breve debate sobre o uso da arte cômica em sala de aula e tecemos reflexões sobre a mediação audiovisual. Desse modo, constatou-se que o processo de mediação educacional ocorrido por meio do ativismo visual é uma exímia ferramenta de intervenção pedagógica para as práticas docentes.
