In this paper, complex issues of education are discussed in relation to research and activism in the humanities and contemporary art, cultural production and politics. The discussion is based on a re-examination of twenty years of teaching anthropology at Greek universities in light of a strengthening engagement in the practices situated between this discipline and art. The context, the content and the mode of this activity are considered, during an epistemologically composite and politically significant process of interchanging teaching and learning positions. The specificity of the conditions of one’s own education needed to be acknowledged in the introduction to this retrospective survey. Teaching anthropology to professionals and students of different disciplines is also described as a period of learning how to place emphasis on practice, re-evaluate anthropological knowledge, combine diverse perspectives and negotiate power relations. Teaching anthropology to artists, however, particularly when the teacher also happens to be an artist, poses these and other challenges. Transdisciplinarity is sought, but only as something to surpass, eventually considering what it might mean to be 'undisciplined'. In any case, it is by now established that when anthropologists meet with artists, common interests become evident and a great potential for the renewal of research and theory is revealed, but diverging priorities and conflicting relations must also be addressed. Teaching and learning in such a context becomes more than an academic habit. It develops as a demanding, research-cum-art making activity, as shown by a number of collective projects that bring together students and teachers, on the fringes of the academy and social life during the difficult period of the so-called 'Greek crisis'.

Resumo: Partindo do pressuposto que um novo paradigma artístico está a emergir, o que implica a construção de um conhecimento sempre renovado, quer na dimensão concetual, quer na dimensão da intervenção, os processos formativos dos futuros profissionais docentes merecem-nos especial atenção. Este artigo resulta de um projeto de investigação centrado na necessidade de equacionar a arte contemporânea, na formação inicial de professores, no horizonte das transformações atuais – o que implica pensar as mudanças no ensino-aprendizagem, a descrença dos sistemas de justificação educacionais, a mutação do conceito de arte e das práticas artísticas e as mudanças dos comportamentos, perspetivando o futuro. Este trabalho foi ao encontro dos seguintes objetivos: implementar e avaliar um programa pedagógico na formação inicial dos professores assente na arte contemporânea e identificar as competências que a arte contemporânea promove nos estudantes e que concorrem para o seu perfil profissional. Privilegia-se um quadro paradigmático de investigação numa perspetiva interpretativa e adota-se uma metodologia de estudo de caso que envolveu 300 estudantes de Licenciaturas em Educação Básica ao longo de um semestre. As conclusões emergentes do estudo evidenciam a importância artístico-pedagógica da arte contemporânea para o perfil profissional do professor, bem como a necessidade de uma reforma curricular, visando à inovação dos processos de formação onde a arte contemporânea seja contemplada. Palavras-chave: Arte Contemporânea. Formação de Professores.

This article results of a research project that focused its concern on the need to equate contemporary art in initial teacher education, on the horizon of current transformations, such as: changes in teaching and learning, disbelief on educational justification systems, changes in art concepts and artistic practices and changes in behaviour and envisioning the future. This paper focuses on the following objectives: implement an evaluate educational program in the initial teachers training based on contemporary art and identify the skills that contemporary art promotes in students which contribute to their professional profile. Chosen research methods follow a paradigmatic framework for research in an interpretative perspective and the study adopts a case study methodology. Research involved 300 students of a BA degree in Elementary Teachers Education during one semester. Emerging findings of the study highlight the artistic and pedagogical importance of contemporary art to develop skills that contribute to the professional profile of the teacher as well as the need for curriculum reform in arts education aimed at innovating training processes where contemporary art is contemplated. Keywords: Contemporary Art. Teacher Training. Teaching-learning process.

AbstractThis chapter demonstrates the potential to challenge power relations, and reconsider teaching practices and conceptions of learning bodies. How do bodies in a digital learning setting perform are read and observed? How they can be included in learning settings? Since teaching and learning increasingly take part in digital learning environments, especially since the outbreak of the COVID-19 global pandemic, digital art teaching needs rethinking toward the knowledge of learning bodies and of the perception of learning in the digital realm: a digital corpoliteracy.

Experience Difficulty

The research developed aims to present the school as a place of promotion to knowledge, where the educating will have the opportunity to take ownership of the necessary contents to develop and to have a social life. However, the student may experience difficulty in learning because of the lack of school inclusion, or for family and personal problems. In this sense comes the action of the Psychoeducator in the search for answers for each particularity. With investigative work, it is possible to create working methods with this student so that their difficulty is remedied. In the face of the new school paradigms, the work of the psychoeducator is essential as an intermediator in the educational process. In this context this professional gains the role of renewing the concepts of teaching and of adapting the methodologies and practices, so that in this computerized era where the information is transmitted in real time, the student is achieved in its difficulties, yearnings and fears. Thus, this work presents within the analytical, bibliographic and exploratory research a reflection on such facts, consolidating the role of the Psychoeducator, and concluding through this study the purpose of this professional that will develop its Work favoring and guiding the process of teaching and learning and human development.

Definition Of

Divisions based on the assumption that men and women are different from one another permeate all areas of social life as well as varying across space and between places. In the home and in the family, in the classroom or in the labour market, in politics, and in power relations, men and women are assumed to be different, to have distinct rights and obligations that affect their daily lives and their standard of living. Thirty years ago, there were no courses about gender in British geography departments. This chapter discusses the challenges to geographical knowledge, and to the definition of knowledge more generally, that have arisen from critical debates about the meaning of difference and diversity in feminist scholarship. It examines a number of significant conceptual ideas, namely: the public and the private; sex, gender and body; difference, identity and intersectionality; knowledge; and justice. Finally, it comments on the role of feminism in the academy as a set of political practices as well as epistemological claims.

Way Of Thinking

This concluding chapter provides arguments based on mounting research evidence showing that, for many, learning is not earning. It also rests on the contention that historical possibilities exist to improve the quality of individual and social life through the transformation of economic means—in other words, by developing a new way of thinking about human capital. The chapter goes on to confront future prospects for the new human capital, even as these prospects depend on rebalancing the power relations between capital and labor. To conclude, the chapter calls for a different narrative that connects with the disconnections in people’s lives—their sense of disappointment, alienation, and unfairness. However, the distributional conflict revealed at the very heart of capitalism, which is central to the crisis of human capital, remains to be resolved.
