Images for teaching. Towards a didactic sensorium
Abstract
As teachers, we are heirs to a long tradition of using images to teach. For centuries, textbooks, encyclopedias, slides, and other graphic teaching resources were the primary sources of images for teaching. Currently, in a process consolidated during the pandemic, digital images available on various websites and social media constitute the usual references and search methods for teachers at all educational levels. The progressive digitalization of the world, and more recently the applications of generative AI, are profoundly changing our relationship with images and ways of seeing. In classrooms, we observe changes in media, supports, and devices; image repertoires are expanding, and the challenge of designing strategies to address them arises. Thus, this work presents the development of a training/research/action project carried out with a group of practicing primary education teachers. Among its nodes of interest and results are: the need for systematic didactic reflection on the images used in school; teacher experimentation as a way to expand the corpus and uses of images (and other artistic narratives) offered by the internet; art images as a space for expression, belonging, and identity construction; the role of the teacher as curator/creator; and the notion of the “didactic sensorium” as an active way of seeing influenced by the teaching profession.
