El Realismo Social del Ecuador: un Aprendizaje Basado en Proyectos con la técnica del diaporama para estudiantes de bachillerato

Abstract

The approach of the arts contextualized to the different currents, expressions and artistic creations of Ecuador, constitute fundamental contents in the educational field to be developed according to the objectives proposed in the curricula, through didactic strategies for the integral formation of children and young people of the educational system. This need led us to design an artistic project with the use of the slideshow technique that was developed around two works of art by Oswaldo Guayasamín, which was implemented in the second year of the unified general high school, with the aim that students develop skills to appreciate sensitively and critically the aesthetic dimension of Ecuadorian Social Realism. Based on the basic and professional skills acquired in the process of our training as future teachers in arts pedagogy, it enables us to generate proposals that, from creativity, enhance the teaching-learning process. The curricular integration work involves qualitative research and its data collection instruments, with techniques such as observation, interviews with artists, bibliographic and biographical review, analysis of works of art in situ (Guayasamín House Museum in Quito) and the respective implementation of the artistic project in the “Ciudad de Cuenca” Educational Unit. His didactic approach integrated active methodologies such as: Project-Based Learning, which started from a problem to be resolved in the development of an artistic project that included workshops with activities focused on the visual, sound and expressive arts, related to Social Realism, whose creative and playful actions, contemplated the assessment of learning achievements.
