Musical video clips on YouTube as a learning tool. Practical example in university teaching
Abstract
This article shows a teaching exercise implemented at the university level through the analysis of different concepts related to Economic Geography, by the viewing of music video clips through the YouTube platform. The students (N=33) work collaboratively in teams, choosing a music band and a song and analyzing in depth its lyrics and pictures, in order to observe and try to solve everyday problems. The students themselves qualify the exercise. The evaluation is done through a brief questionnaire which highlights a participatory approach and an entertaining, dynamic and original work. A high motivation and students’ capacity for critical reflection on current geographical and economic issues are observed. It is suggested a higher follow-up of the activity and, therefore, a greater dedication of hours to be implemented in future classes.
