Pedagogical strategies of audiovisual teaching mediated by digital technologies (Faculty of Arts, UNC, 2020-2021)

Abstract

The public emergency established in Argentina by the COVID-19 pandemic determined the so-called “preventive and compulsory social isolation”. This way began the dictation of the first year of the Bachelor of Film and Audiovisual Arts (Faculty of Arts, National University of Córdoba). In this framework, TIC were imposed as the only possibility to teach the subjects. This exploratory-descriptive work had the objective of analyzing, on the one hand, the emergence of teaching-learning proposals mediated by digital resources and, on the other, its impact on student evaluations. The context required a synchronous approach, which resulted in a mixed research design: non-experimental, without deliberate manipulation of variables, and qualitative, focused on understanding the phenomenon from the perspective of participants. The results indicate that the promotion of interaction facilitated participation, produced confidence, cohesion, motivation and a feeling of general satisfaction in students. The main conclusion is that the didactic-pedagogical design allows to materialize the necessary social and academic integration at this stage. Within the framework of inclusive and democratizing objectives that public policies enunciate, curricular and programmatic definitions can effectively collaborate with the continuity of higher studies, improving the rates of entry, permanence and graduation.
