Las clases con cine entran. Propuesta didáctica sobre el uso de proyecciones audiovisuales

Abstract

This pedagogical proposal seeks to foster critical thinking through the use of cinema as a didactic tool for tenth-grade students at I.E.D. Tomás Cipriano de Mosquera. A qualitative approach was adopted, employing instruments such as surveys, field diaries, and discussion groups to collect and give voice to students’ interests. The theoretical framework was structured around three main categories: critical thinking, cinema, and didactics, which guided the definition of the project’s objective, the pedagogical tool to be applied, and its scope of design and reflection. The findings show that mobile phones are the primary device through which students access audiovisual platforms, which are generally characterized by formats of immediate consumption. Students between the ages of 14 and 17 demonstrate a preference for narratives related to sexuality and identity. However, a limited capacity for comprehension and reflection on audiovisual products was observed, along with a low level of interest in Colombian productions. Finally, the study highlights that film forums, when combined with discussion groups and proper didactic planning, enhance both the understanding of knowledge and the development of critical reflection and analytical skills regarding the audiovisual content students consume.
