Resumo

Este estudo explora o potencial dos filmes para estimular a capacidade de resolução de problemas, com base num estudo de caso com alunos dos 10 aos 22 anos no Arquipélago dos Açores, Portugal. Investiga se a exposição a projeções audiovisuais, como filmes, podem incentivar a reflexão pessoal, a introspeção e, em última análise, contribuir para melhorar a capacidade individual de resolução de problemas, um aspeto fundamental na educação contemporânea. Foi utilizada uma abordagem de investigação empírica de métodos mistos, aplicando um questionário a uma amostra diversificada de estudantes (N = 591). A conceção do estudo consistiu em expor os participantes a uma sequência de curtas-metragens de animação cuidadosamente selecionadas, representativas de algumas questões fundamentais para os jovens, seguidas de debates. Em seguida, os estudantes foram convidados a preencher um questionário anónimo online para observar as suas reações cognitivas e emocionais. Os resultados indicam uma correlação positiva entre a exposição aos filmes e a construção de cenários hipotéticos para a resolução de problemas, com os participantes a referirem novas perspetivas para lidar com potenciais situações difíceis futuras nas suas próprias vidas.
