A learning experience with pre-service teachers based on multiple intelligences and visual arts education in the Faculty of Education at the University of Barcelona
Abstract
This article presents a teaching and learning
experience carried out in a subject
related to the Visual Arts Education area
of the Primary Education Degree at the
University of Barcelona. The aim of the experience,
which is supported by Howard
Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences,
is to develop students’ artistic abilities
through the participatory methodology
of creating teaching materials. The study
described is based on an earlier study of
the students’ motivations as well as the intelligences
with which they identify themselves.
The experience has established a
methodological strategy for the emerging
field of Visual Arts Education, a strategy
based on students’ motivations, multiple
intelligences, interdisciplinarity and creativity.
Furthermore, the study presents a
model for the teaching and learning of Visual
Arts that can be implemented in Primary
Education, as well as Secondary and
University Education.
