Diagnosis of Visual Artistic Education in Teaching Practices I of the Primary Education Degree. When subjects become academic research laboratories

Abstract

This text presents a proposal whose goal is to
improve the didactic methodology of the university
degree in Primary Education implemented
in the Student Teaching I subject of the University
of Seville. Specifically, the methodological
approach carried out from the area of Didactics
of Plastic Expression during the preliminary
phase to the incorporation of students into the
practices, called “Previous Training”, is presented.
The objective of this research is to review
the planning of the sessions carried out in this
training period, in which, during the final phase,
an online questionnaire had to be used as an
instrument of inquiry aimed at offering a collaborative
diagnosis of the current situation of
artistic education in the field of formal education
derived from the stay in schools during the student
teaching period. The results obtained will
show that, despite the progress achieved in the
subject as an area of knowledge, the curricular
spectrum of artistic education seems to remain
in an eternal impasse within the school space.
The outlined scenario will invite reflection on an
ongoing debate, in addition to delving into the
difficulties and challenges that still arise from
the discipline itself as an educational research
environment.
