Enseñanza y evaluación formativa de las artes visuales con apoyos virtuales.

Abstract

This investigation article brings together the research Avatares, led by the Grupo Hipertrópico: Convergencia entre Arte y Tecnología, and with the support of the Area de Investigación y Propuestas (AIP) of the Departamento de Artes Visuales of the Facultad de Artes de la Universidad de Antioquia (Medellín, Colombia). The objective is to develop a pedagogical strategy that integrates conceptual, artistic, didactic, and methodological considerations towards the implementation of a virtual platform to support face-to-face teaching; as well as the construction and dissemination of knowledge in the research-creation processes of the Talleres de Integrado y Grado of the aip. For this, actions aimed at the conceptual and normative diagnosis were implemented, the design of pedagogical and didactic components, and the generation of processes of awareness, socialization, documentation, and archiving, were implemented through the action-participatory research methodology. The results are condensed in the Avatars pedagogical strategydocument, as a proposal to update the central concepts of the area and the evaluation processes, based on the concept of formative evaluation, to guarantee the communication and participation of the academic community. The architecture and contents of the first stage of the aic Platform were also designed, and a pilot and open access repository was created using the Graph Commons platform, with relevant references to the artistic field. In conclusion, the research suggests continuous reflection on new methodologies for teaching and learning of the plastic arts, mediated by ict; in which the formative evaluation constitutes a methodological element that enhances the research-creation processes.
