The Cinema and its Learning

by: Laura E. Lopez Creek

I. - Introduction:

The present text carisoprodol muscle relaxant soma from an interactive experience of 4 month and carisoprodol muscle relaxant soma half, through electronic mail with 3 companions of the online pharmacy phentermine soma University of the Technological one of online pharmacy phentermine soma where the planning of a course of Cinema and Culture for students of the degree in Sciences of the Communication was had like objective.

The construction of the knowledge from a network of people interested in the same topic and/or direction, the reflection and the debate from diverse glances: multidisciplinary and multicultural, it generated a more complex approach to the reality that was tried to study. It also fomented the collaborative learning and the carisoprodol soma of a virtual community from common interests.

The experience carisoprodol muscle relaxant soma it had these advantages, also presented/displayed limitations carisoprodol muscle relaxant soma mainly to the establishment online pharmacy phentermine soma affective bows, since by the characteristics of means where it shares neither the time nor the space, the time available and the diverse activities of each one of the members of the equipment, the possibility of interpersonal the more significant contacts was reduced.

As well, other limitations were online pharmacy phentermine soma difficulty to systematize the great amount of information that was generated and the lack of knowledge of the context from where the online pharmacy phentermine soma came, reason why sometimes the information was misinterpreted. Nevertheless, the experience that now presented/displayed was carisoprodol muscle relaxant soma in terms of giving the opportunity to work interinstitutional carisoprodol muscle relaxant soma and debating diverse points of view and generating a more carisoprodol soma approach to the phenomenon. The present work carisoprodol soma organized in two parts, in first approaches the present situation of the carisoprodol soma and its forecast, from her, carisoprodol soma satisfied the second part where it appears the proposal of the program of Cinema online pharmacy phentermine soma Culture.

II. carisoprodol muscle relaxant soma The Education and its forecast:

The carisoprodol muscle relaxant soma of carisoprodol muscle relaxant soma educative sector in any nation of the world is unquestionable. The education ties with the economy of carisoprodol muscle relaxant soma country, since it generates models and it prepares human carisoprodol muscle relaxant soma to guide the productive relations of a nation. Also it is related to the culture, science and the technology it reflects since them carisoprodol muscle relaxant soma them it transforms and them. At present the educative phenomenon is in crisis, Sanvicens (s/f: 168) contextualise this problematic one of the following way:

To this exposition it would be necessary to carisoprodol muscle relaxant soma incorporate the idea to him that the sources carisoprodol muscle relaxant soma the knowledge have increased, the technology has generated other means by which the individual acquires the data with which it is handled in his world.

In carisoprodol muscle relaxant soma sense which is observed it is that, in first instance, the school no longer is able to provide to the individual all the elements to him to manage to insert it in a as complex society as the present one. (1)

On carisoprodol muscle relaxant soma other hand, one is due carisoprodol muscle relaxant soma recognize that the knowledge, values, attitudes, behaviors and abilities (2) that spread in carisoprodol muscle relaxant soma scholastic institutions or carisoprodol muscle relaxant soma form declare (formal curriculum) or of latent way (hidden curriculum), are impregnated of the culture from which they emerge. Independent of the society online pharmacy phentermine soma we conform, a cultural one considers prospective to which it seems that all we will accede (Sanvicens s/f: 166-168): online pharmacy phentermine soma technological carisoprodol muscle relaxant soma computerized society happens to the agricultural and industrial society, the woman gets up to the world of the study and the work, generating a new form of familiar and professional organization. It is also considered probable that it increases to the time of leisure and the population of the third age, and that diminishes the active populace in societies outposts, the production becomes of being in selective, diverse mass to be and advisable for the user, the aesthetic and artistic aspect acquires importance.

Also:

One also affirms (Sanvicens) that, in the future next, more than to produce carisoprodol muscle relaxant soma values informational values will be generated. It is spoken carisoprodol muscle relaxant soma the sprouting of networks like overlapped, implied relations to each carisoprodol muscle relaxant soma more than simply interconnected. Also the attempt is perceived to surpass radical alternatives and resistances in the sociopolitical field.

In this sense it is worth carisoprodol muscle relaxant soma pain to emphasize the fact that the communication is constituted like a basic phenomenon in the development of the societies. The establishment of networks seems to be the new modality. Interaction of ideas, handling of diverse languages and online pharmacy phentermine soma seem to mark the direction towards the future next.

On the other hand, science and Technology are directly tie to the educative scope, since as it affirmed previously, is in the school where also these are developed and transmitted. The problematic one in this sense, appears, in first instance, by the phase angle that generally exist between the scientific and technological discoveries and the transmission and development carisoprodol muscle relaxant soma these knowledge in the scholastic institution. This is given by the own characteristics of the educative institutions of our country, where little support has occurred him very to the carisoprodol muscle relaxant soma and a model has settled down where the investigator, generally, it has little to do with teaching; or if he is wanted to see from another perspective, where the teacher is not investigator of the knowledge who works with his students.

Under these expositions apparently the scholastic institution needs to become, since their structures are not working by not to have adapted to the societies in constant and fast transformation. This carisoprodol soma and with base in previously raised, the following recommendations can be generated:

In first instance, related online pharmacy phentermine soma the economic carisoprodol soma the education online pharmacy phentermine soma have to help to create carisoprodol soma and one more a more equitable society. Thus, it will have to generate a balance between the preparation to be inserted in the professional scope, the development and diffusion of an own culture, the values and abilities that require the societies of our time and the investigation to support the scientific and technological development.

the conception follows here carisoprodol muscle relaxant soma tie the investigation with the processes education-learning in the carisoprodol muscle relaxant soma That is to say, that masterful and students are investigators of the own reality who are working and this way, see themselves in possibility of applying the knowledge to specific social problems. For it, he agrees himself with the work of Boyers (1991) when he determines 4 carisoprodol muscle relaxant soma phases that they will have totally to be recognized and to be placed in the same plane of importance in the educative processes:

1. - To discover: investigation.

2. - To integrate, to interpret, to construct connections, to give new light on the original investigation.

3. - To apply the knowledge to the important problems.

4. - To stimulate the active learning, to urge the students to be thinking carisoprodol muscle relaxant soma critics and, equipped with the capacity to learn permanently.

This proposal, on the one hand, helps carisoprodol soma attenuate to the distance between science and the knowledge us that are transmitted in the classroom and to tie scholastic knowledge with the social reality.

Also, it is recommended abrir to the school to the social scope through the cultural activities and their diffusion, from projects that can adapt the concepts or theories learned in the school to solve problematic social concrete and through analysis of the own reality circundante.(3)

As well, carisoprodol muscle relaxant soma relevance is due carisoprodol muscle relaxant soma emphasize that has in our contemporary societies the permanent processes of learning and investigation for the life of the students and the development of a nation.

Another carisoprodol muscle relaxant soma is the one to impel the transdisciplinario approach, since the reality that surrounds to us, day to day is more complex, apart from which science by its development has extended, being impossible to transmit all the knowledge of a specific area in the training programs. carisoprodol soma this reason, a form different is required to approach it: problematic more concrete under a transdisciplinaria perspective. Reference to the necessity is also made to integrate the technological formation with the carisoprodol muscle relaxant soma the aesthetic one, the moral, the development of the carisoprodol muscle relaxant soma of the thought, the values and human attitudes.

The formation task - acquisition of aptitudes, development of basic competitions, intellectual, affective carisoprodol muscle relaxant soma and of conduct - will complement the carisoprodol muscle relaxant soma of contents and the learning of specific skills (Sanvicens: 173).

III. Educative project:

Within the framework from these reflections the present educative project arises: CINEMA AND CULTURE, with the intention to cover areas that have been neglecting in the matters that undertake the cinematographic study of the phenomenon, which mainly they have been carisoprodol muscle relaxant soma the study of the production and the language, leaving to a side the social aspect (the function of the social cinema as reconstructive) and taking as educative intentions the development carisoprodol muscle relaxant soma thought abilities (information handling), of values and human attitudes.

It is important to indicate that online pharmacy phentermine soma incorporation of mass media to the educative context is one of the experiences that as masterful in the thresholds of the 21st century we must work. online pharmacy phentermine soma (1991), speaks of didactic the filmic one, where it makes reference to the use of the audio-visual languages (cinema, television and video) to the service of a didactic intention. They consider like means so that the student can vertir online pharmacy phentermine soma conception and representation of the world. They are carisoprodol muscle relaxant soma vehicles of information, but tools to understand the carisoprodol muscle relaxant soma thing solely, since through them it is reflected on the own social and online pharmacy phentermine soma reality. These means in the classroom, will be due to handle not solely like informative resources, but mainly, like motivating so that the student reflects on his surrounding reality, confronts his point of view with the one of the other companions and settles down a critical position before the material.

Also, given carisoprodol muscle relaxant soma great consumption that the young people do of the material of means, the carisoprodol muscle relaxant soma arises at present carisoprodol muscle relaxant soma generate a pedagogy of means and not only the pedagogy with means. First it is related to the use of means in the classroom to support the learning; the second the average ones as object of study to understand the great importance that they have in the process of socialization of the individual.

The program of Cinema and Culture tries that the student when being in contact with the enemy with a fictitious message, reflects on itself, and when arriving to him at its emotions motivates to him for its learning. In addition through these contents, it will be seen in possibility of constructing to carisoprodol muscle relaxant soma and new knowledge, turns which them carisoprodol muscle relaxant soma actor of its own process.

Next they carisoprodol soma be enunciated, in the following carisoprodol soma the educative intentions, objectives, contents, carisoprodol soma of education-learning and proposals of evaluation of the program Cinema and Culture.

That the online pharmacy phentermine soma understands, through analysis of the factors that define the presentation and production processes the cinematographic material, the two forms basic of direction of the cinema, as well as the importance of both in the contexts personal and social.

UNIT 4: A proposal of Critical Reception before the cinematographic material

4.1. The cinema and the person.

4.2. The cinema and the society

Particular objective:

The student will generate a proposal of critical reception, through the own experience like receiving assets of the knowledge boarded in the course, with the purpose of to contribute to the improvement of his society.

- Strategies of Education and Learning:

One carisoprodol muscle relaxant soma the strategies of the course is the collaborative learning, since it helps the students to be constructing his own knowledge, to share, to confront carisoprodol muscle relaxant soma to debate ideas. That is to say, the objective of which the student organizes his ideas, with base in carisoprodol muscle relaxant soma structure previously planned and with the participation of the carisoprodol muscle relaxant soma of the companions is considering. One is concentrating in a learning of processes, since it is being planned to give the tools and to guide the student to the reflection, by means of different activities and the propitious atmosphere for it.

Somehow in the process the student observes, reflects, settles down relations, analyzes excellent situations, questions or assumes the carisoprodol muscle relaxant soma or situations, Integra all this, and generates his own position later to share it and to enrich it with the carisoprodol soma of the others.

Also, one is being to foment the active and critical thought of the students, and so we contributed to the learning that is due to look for at present. One is due to favor in the development of people who are able to carisoprodol muscle relaxant soma to make decisions, to be critics before the great volume of information to whom they have access and of being active part in the construction of information.

In this last part reference to carisoprodol muscle relaxant soma becomes the student gives to meaning to the concepts or data carisoprodol muscle relaxant soma that are approached in class. On the other hand, it is being carisoprodol muscle relaxant soma to develop abilities of communication, carisoprodol muscle relaxant soma and assimilation and retention of the information.

Also attitudes work, when using as it divides the participation of the students in class fundamental we facilitated the curiosity, the interest by diverse subjects, the respect to the others, the development of the concept of itself (as a result of the interaction with the others). Also, by the type of thematic carisoprodol muscle relaxant soma is approached, the same life, has the opportunity to work with values and of sharing the positions that each one of the students assume carisoprodol muscle relaxant soma them.

- Learnings that are wanted to evaluate:

Since confidence in the holistic and integral evaluation carisoprodol soma had, it thinks that the learning of the student within the course cannot be evaluated separating the procedural aspects, conceptual and actitudinales; nevertheless it is necessary to clarify the sources in which the information is due to find that will allow us to evaluate each aspect. Therefore, and retaking the intentions it is defined that:

1. In the case of the attitudes, we hoped that the students demonstrate:

- Human and aesthetic Values through analysis of contents and forms online pharmacy phentermine soma in the cinematographic productions.

- Sense of carisoprodol muscle relaxant soma and commitment with its culture.

- Sensitivity and tolerance towards other cultures.

- Valuation of the processes of permanent learning.

- Acceptance of the processes of generation of knowledge through collaborative approach.

- Attitudes of participation, respect to the opinion of the others and one same one.

- Ethical and sense of social responsibility as carisoprodol muscle relaxant soma as the elaboration, diffusion and analysis of cultural online pharmacy phentermine soma in this case, the cinema.

- Commitment with the reality and the social needs of the country through development and use of a propositive and constructive approach before products of the present industries of communication, that is to say, an innovating attitude.

- Attitudes that contribute to the harmonic development of the activities of the course: responsibility (attendance, punctuality, give in time of work), attention in class, participation.

2. As far as the conceptual aspect, one hopes that the students dominate information who serve to them as frame of reference for the analysis and reflection on the cinema like cultural phenomenon, this means - carisoprodol soma a first level of dominion of concepts - to take like departure point the definition from concepts like: culture, society, art, cinematographic language, communication, intercultural communication, cultural carisoprodol muscle relaxant soma social transculturación, globalisation, values, cultural industry, uses of the cinema, and other elements enumerated in the agenda of the course.

In a second level, it represents the capacity to establish connections that allow to structure schemes of analysis between these concepts and to identify the relations that they have to each other.

3. As far as the procedural aspect, it is possible to be considered:

- Methodology for the analysis of the cinematographic productions, including as much formal analysis as of content; which includes the following categories: understanding of the material that is being approached, suitable relation of concepts, structures of the information in spun and deep form, proposals and creativity in the construction of its knowledge, transference from concepts to real situations.

- Methodology for the work in equipment. This includes: negotiation carisoprodol muscle relaxant soma defense before the others of its critical carisoprodol muscle relaxant soma argumentation, valuation of ideas. - Participation in dynamic and the exercises programmed by the professor: carisoprodol muscle relaxant soma discussions, debates. An awaited performance requires: to formulate and to respond questions, to respect the order, to carisoprodol muscle relaxant soma themselves with clarity, to communicate carisoprodol muscle relaxant soma to work constructively - and to propose - with the other companions, to follow the rules of the activities.

- Attachment carisoprodol soma the procedures established by the professor to promote the learning, considering respect to the carisoprodol soma sequence and contents.

- Use carisoprodol muscle relaxant soma investigation methods: of documentary field and.

IV. Final reflection:

As it is possible to be observed the present proposal of a program of Cinema and Culture is generated from conceiving that they are the 3 areas carisoprodol muscle relaxant soma the knowledge that must mark the learning of the students: first one talks about the knowledge, where these are not important by themselves, but mainly by the reflection and possibilities of construction that arise from them; the development of abilities of thought, values and attitudes and the transference of situations that are observed in the carisoprodol muscle relaxant soma and that serve to establish communications with the social and personal reality of the student.
