Conectando lo humano y lo no humano en clase de TIC: escenas temidas por los futuros docentes de Educación Infantil

Abstract

Teachers in initial formation need to acquire an emotional education that supports them in their professional development. Among the possible emotions that they may have, are the fears of different situations that may occur at an educational centre. Thus, this article presents a training experience using body language, artistic expression and ICT as resources that promote the emotional self-knowledge of university students. The research enabled the analysis, following a case study method with 71 university students and three professors of the subject ICT applied to Education, of how future teachers in Early Childhood Education face the fears, they have, of situations that can occur in school, through the use of ICT, body language and artistic expression. Among other results, students valued the importance of working their fears for their future teaching activity, (re) presenting feared scenes related to the dynamics within the classroom, such as the classroom control; and with those that happen outside of class, for example, mobbing. In addition, there was also a satisfaction among the teachers for breaking the stereotype of the instrumentalist class. The students, on their behalf, advised this workshop to be done in other subjects of the Degree and suggested that these dynamics be included throughout the course as they seemed beneficial for their training.
