Didactics of History in Higher Education, enriched with audiovisual technologies and its impact on the promotion of self-concept of competence¹

ABSTRACT

Throughout this century and as a result, above all, of the changes that have taken place in society, which is increasingly immersed in a culture and digital network reality, it has become increasingly necessary to rethink the teaching and learning processes. Educational institutions, namely in Higher Education, face the challenge not only of creating learning scenarios that promote the acquisition of knowledge but also of scenarios for the development of skills. In this sense, the use of cinema in Higher Education can assert itself as a very adequate strategy to revitalize the educational experience, and it is precisely the creation of pedagogical scenarios enriched with the presence of cinema and its language that we intend to analyze, describing its impact on the self-concept of competence of twenty undergraduate students, based on the qualitative analysis of their perceptions and narratives. The results show that the design of the environment, anchored in this model and in the use of audiovisual technologies, can have very positive effects on the self-concept of competence of undergraduate students, in terms of the different dimensions considered: Cognitive, Social, and Creativity. The implications of the results found are discussed, both from practical intervention and in terms of future investigations.
