Schools and audiovisual productions. Educational projects aimed at the filming of videos, in school contexts: some thoughts on its educational potentialities

Abstract

In a regional context characterized by public policies that promote the inclusion of digital technologies into the educational system, it is possible to find teaching practices that incorporate audio-visual language in different teaching processes. Given the diversity of experiences and projects, in this paper we are interested in addressing one of these in particular: the production of short films in secondary schools. In a first approach to the field, we observe that these proposals involve different aesthetics and modes of communication between young people, and also include different abilities and everyday experiences as a central axis of the educational process. In this regard, we believe that, in a certain way, these practices make possible for young people new modes of inhabiting at school, which stress or coexist with the set of traditions and institutional regularities imposed over time. In this article we intend: on the one hand, to recover some conceptualizations around audiovisual media and schools that help us discuss such practices; on the other hand, to characterize these educational projects based on an analysis of three cases carried out in different public schools of the city of Córdoba.
