DIDACTIC OF THE ARTS WITH ICT, COLLABORATIVE LEARNING AND INTERDISCIPLINARITY IN THE INITIAL TRAINING OF TEACHERS

Abstract

Learning through information and communication technologies and interdisciplinarity as axes of pedagogical innovation, are aspects that should be promoted in Higher Education since the Bologna declaration, twenty years ago. However, they have not yet taken root enough in many university classrooms. That is why a study on an interdisciplinary experience developed by teachers in the didactic areas of musical, artistic and body expression with future teachers in training is presented. The objectives are to promote the use of ICT, new communication systems for academic work and collaborative and interdisciplinary learning among students. All this contributes to a renewal both in the teaching methodology and in the evaluation process, giving a more active role to the students while stimulating communication and coordination among the teaching staff. The methodology used has been fundamentally qualitative and the research-action method. The data collection techniques have been questionnaires for the students, the interactive dialogue, the teachers ‘field notebook and the group evaluation of the students’ audio-visual works. The sample was made up of 140 students from the Master’s Degree in Early Childhood Education at the University of Valencia. The results show the satisfaction of the students and teachers throughout the entire process. It can be concluded that the experience and study show an innovative good practice that can be optimized in the future and / or serve as inspiration for other university teachers.
