This thesis assumes that the environments of convergence, constructed from digital technology, are affecting the discipline of Photography courses in design and consequently interfering in the processes of learning and training of the designer. This research aims to understand what teachers mean by the discipline of Photography, and appropriating the new technologies, what strategies they use to disseminate knowledge among students. The research began with a small digression on contemporary photography and the photographic language, and a survey of the discipline of Photography in the courses of Design at PUC-Rio and Univille analyzing the curricular content, menus and methodological tracks. We also conducted interviews with teachers who teach this course in order to collect and categorize data, which were submitted to the content analysis technique from the standpoint of image sites, contributing to the perception of the role that photography plays in a different technological scenery and in the designer training in the courses of Design at PUC-Rio and Univille.
