Comparative study of the strategies carried out by future teachers in development of educational audiovisual

Abstract

In this paper we describe an educational project aimed at students of the Master's Degree in Secondary School (51 students) and Bachelor’s degree in Primary Education (49 students), in which the future teachers faced the creation of a scientific content educational documentary. Students carried out all the steps for the creation of a documentary video. To do so, they had to structure and organize the work team, collect and manage the information, develop a script, film and finally edit the audiovisual material. The approach of this paper advocates a change in the ways of teaching, taking into account that the society demands the audiovisual as a new way to communicate, and the project-based learning like the means in which the future teachers would experience this teaching-learning process. A semi-structured interview was made to the future teachers to analyze the different project steps. The later content analysis showed how the previous academic training was decisive to face the different stages. In addition, we could see several interesting aspects as the considerable use made of the audiovisual information or the different kinds of organizational structures inside work team.
