Abstract

In this written, we will present a reflection on the epistemological situation of the image in education and research frameworks, as well as its impact on creative processes within the training of students and teachers. From a pedagogical device implementing artistic and visual processes, we will analyze the place of the image in the educational system and its influence on creative learning. We will rely on collaborative research conducted in university classes around sociology and teacher training, where the image and the body are media and content to question their place in learning and research environment. From a first approach on the place of creativity within different epistemological contexts, we will analyze the impact of creativity in teaching and current research, focusing on various criteria such as situation resolution, research methodologies and pedagogical strategies. These dimensions will be analyzed from pedagogical and teacher training devices based on creativity.
