Conceptual Photography and Critical Learning of the Visual Arts in the University Context. Educational Experience With Future Teachers Chacón Gordillo, Pedro David Morales Caruncho, Xana Marfil Carmona, Rafael Arts education Future teachers Teacher training Educational system Conceptual photography https://revistas.ucp.pt/index.php/jsta/article/view/10002/9835 The present research study deepens the knowledge on the viewpoints of future primary education teaching professionals regarding issues associated with the educational system and its creative capacity. A study was carried out with 216 students undertaking a Primary Teaching Degree at the University of Granada (Spain). Participants were required to develop a conceptual photograph which reflected their thoughts regarding weaknesses of the educational system. The resultant pieces served as a research tool following the performance of formal and content analysis. The future teachers identify weaknesses classified in two broad spheres. The first refers to issues of a political or institutional nature which affect education at a general level, while the second refers to teaching methods and education at a more localised or specific level. This line of work in art education will serve to stimulate a critical view of the educational system with regards to the training of future teachers. 2024-03-05T12:43:46Z 2024-03-05T12:43:46Z 2021 info:eu-repo/semantics/article Chacón-Gordillo, P., Morales-Caruncho, X., & Marfil-Carmona, R.
