El cortometraje como vehículo de comunicación para la inclusión social

Abstract

The short film is an enriching teaching material to acquire through its images multiple types of visual perceptions and meaningful learning. The aim of this study is to promote a view of inclusion in university students in the face of disability by using the short film The butterfly circus (2009) as a guiding thread, because ignorance continues to produce indifference and rejection towards people with disabilities.Some sequences are analyzed by showing the potential of their images at the cognitive-affective level to achieve positive changes in behaviours and encourage critical reflection. The Focus group (FG) is used as a qualitative research technique to analyze and evaluate the responses of the participants. One of the most powerful edu-inclusive methodologies of learning is to promote, after a viewing in the classroom, a debate through dialogue and listening. When people are educated in social inclusion, a fairer world is created.
