Taller de construcción de pensamiento crítico a través del análisis cinematográfico para los alumnos de grado 11A del colegio de la Contraloría

Abstract

This project presents cinema resources as a pedagogical strategy to develop critical thinking and story creation. It was performed with 11th grade students from the school of the comptroller general, located in Bogotá. In four sessions of this workshop, a methodology where cinematographic analysis through determined audiovisual pieces is structured. Such individual analysis goes first through a discussion and a collective socialization, which aim to relate to contexts of real life and of historical relevance. Furthermore, some concepts are evaluated individually to determine the understanding level of audiovisual language and the point of view of every short film. Besides, the history of cinema is analysed through the historical relevance of art as a typical practice of critical thinking, as an individual expression and as a position related to the different events and contexts in the human history. On the other hand, story creation exercises are performed in this workshop. Which is useful to add the individual conclusions of the students to a collective realization product this workshop is grounded as another way to take the cinema to the pedagogical field as a powerful analysis, argumentation and creation tool. This tool shows us a new approach to the cinema itself as a learning environment that strengthens the abilities present in the students, which they also require to integrate their new knowledge into the work proficiency that they should acquire in their further education.
