To be enrolled in this subject, it is recommended to pass the following compulsory subjects, previously, according to the degree:
Primary education degree: "Musical and visual education" and "Musical and visual education, and learning"
Early Chilhood education degree: "Visual Arts Education I" and "Visual Arts Education II".
This subject belongs to the mention on Performative education of the arts, which main objetive is to train future educators in early childhood and primary education through art education, based on the idea of constructing embodied learnings from a transdiciplianary view. The mention is constituted by this groups of subjects, which are clearly related among them:
Didactic innovation in the visual arts; Audiovisual languages and artistic expression; Artistic projects; Childhood: Inclusive Narratives Through the Arts; Territories of contemporary art as learning spaces*
In the case of this subject, we wish to achieve three specific goals:
1. Approaching to childhood, from a non adultcentric and decolonizing perspectives, in other words, from the analysis of power relations that intervene in the positions of age, gender, race-ethniticy, other capabilities, social class and sexual diversoty;
2. Knowing the tactics of arts-based educational research in a dialogue with the identities of children represented and experimented by artists, educators, researchers, from a perspective of social justice and inclusion;
3. Creating collaborative experiences of inclusive education to produce multiple stories of childhood throught the arts and learning how to share them.
This subject is structured through four main topics:
1. The construction of children's identities from a decolonial gaze. The "other" childhood
2. Narrators of childhood: transdiciplinary stories from contemporary arts and visual culture
3. Childhood, agencement and learnings from inclusive art education
4. Collaborative design of performative art education as a mode of empowering children's life.
Performative Arts Education places the focus on people’s learning processes through the arts, eschewing traditional teaching methodologies.
A change of perspective that leads us to talk about a pedagogy of the event and transformation scenarios, where the interaction of knowledge is prioritized, presences-identities and artistic languages. In addition to rethinking the conceptions of time and space in the learning of the arts, we propose to live artistic creation and participate in collaborative projects, connecting with current changes in innovation-oriented education.
The teaching strategies are based on the performative pedagogies of the arts, in arts-based educational research, and the narrative construction of learnings, identities and diversity.
Regarding the materials that will be used during the subject in the workshop sessions, priority will be given to natural elements and recycled materials.
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.
