This study first approaches the history of the observer’s gaze, that is, as observers, we are forming or constructing our way of visualizing moving images. Secondly, it reaffirms the importance and need of resistance of the teaching / learning of Art as a compulsory curricular component for high school. Finally, the third part reports an experience with video art production in a class of first year high school students, establishing an interrelationship between theory and practice, that is, we study video art content to reach the production of videos, aiming as a final result, the art videos created by the students of the Reference Center in Environmental Education Forest School Prof. Eidorfe Moreira High School. The first and second stages of this research share a theoretical part of the Master ‘s thesis, Making films on the Island: audiovisual production as an escape line in Cotijuba, periphery of Belem, completed in 2013.

In Spain, the educational system is focused on traditional teacher-centred methods. Nevertheless, this traditional approach does not engage students anymore. Prensky (2001) claims that students have changed and our educational system was not designed to teach today's students. Today's students are digital natives, they were born into the digital world and they have spent their entire lives using technology. Therefore, taking this into account is paramount to capture the students’ interest in class. This work has been designed to integrate the use of ICT in a Spanish high school where traditional approach is the predominant methodology amongst teachers. The didactic unit designed and described in this paper has been implemented in a third year of Compulsory Secondary Education with the objective of combining a traditional approach with a task-based approach. This didactic unit includes the use of ICT in a wide variety of activities in order to deal with diversity awareness and to cope with the different learning styles students may have. Results indicate that the use of ICT is highly motivating for the students, that students perform better on the tasks which imply the use of computers opposed to the use of traditional materials and that they are willing to work in collaborative groups.

Resumen. El siguiente artículo es una descripción interpretativa de una experiencia basada en la realización de un taller de técnicas de reproducción escultórica a partir de moldes de alginato, dirigido al alumnado con necesidades educativas especiales del Programa Específico de Formación Profesional Básica (PEFPB), realizado en un instituto de enseñanza secundaria. Se ha llevado a la práctica una metodología de interacción colectiva, monitorizada por los profesores del centro, en la que se ha empleado alginato dental como material para la confección de moldes, el cual, al ofrecer unas cualidades de copia excepcionales, permite al alumnado experimentar de manera manipulativa y visual todos los cambios que la materia comprende desde el proceso de mezcla de polvo y agua hasta la obtención de la reproducción. Las introducciones y explicaciones impartidas han sido simplificadas para obtener una mejor lectura y comprensión por parte del alumnado, introduciendo como ejemplo imágenes de obras escultóricas obtenidas mediante este procedimiento artístico. Además, se han realizado pequeñas demostraciones previas a la actividad para que el alumnado analice de forma visual cómo se manipula la materia, planteando como objetivo la reproducción de su propia mano en escayola. Cuando los conceptos y lenguajes artísticos se adaptan a las capacidades y necesidades del alumnado, hacen del aula un lugar de integración y cooperación, en el que los alumnos se introducen en experiencias visuales y manipulativas con las que descubren nuevos mecanismos de expresión. Palabras clave: integración, discapacidad, escultura, alginato, moldes, autoestima. Abstract: The following article is an interpretative description of a workshop devoted to sculpture reproduction based on alginate moulds addressed to students with special educational needs within the Specific Programme of Basic Vocational Training at a secondary education high-school. This workshop, supervised by teachers at the high-school, was performed following an interactional collective approach and using dental alginate for the production of moulds. Offering exceptional reproduction features, this material allowed the students to participate in a sensorial experience by means of the observation of all the changes that it suffers; from the mixing of alginate powder and water to the composition of the reproduction itself. The instructions and explanations given were simplified to obtain a better understanding of the students. Different images showing examples of sculpture works obtained by means of this technique were also provided. I addition, prior demonstrations were carried out so that the students could visually analyse how the material should be handled, suggesting the making of a plaster reproduction of their own hands. When concepts and artistic languages meet the student’s needs and capacities, they make the classroom a place for integration and cooperation where students live sensorial experiences which help them discover new ways of expression. key words: integration, disability, sculpture, alginate, molds, self-esteem.   DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.7203/eari.10.14228

With the amount of speeches delivered on social networks that students browse continuously, it is possible to use this mechanism as an additional support for classes. This research, using this possibility, seeks to present a didactic sequence applied to high school students from a public school, whose objective is to examine the concept of logic, present in the speeches of the two main candidates for the presidency of Brazil, in 2018 The proposal is to demonstrate to students how the concepts of logic can be identified in discourses that permeate the social environment and are part of the reality experienced by students. It is hoped that this research can contribute as a reference to an activity of theory and practice, such a relevant discussion in the school scenario.
