The Pedagogical Sense of the Arts in the Careers of Bachelor of Arts and Pedagogy in Arts in Chile

Abstract

This article focuses on a study carried out in Chile, which seeks to understand how the Bachelor of Arts and Pedagogy in Arts careers show the intersections between the artistic and the pedagogical to the student body. Emphasis was placed on identifying how the artistic is taught as a process of relationship, an element that we call the pedagogical in art. For this, semi-structured interviews were carried out with the main artistic careers headquarters in the country. After the analysis, three categories could be established, however in this article two are addressed. First, the characteristics of the pedagogical sense were identified, which alludes to the question of how it is promoted. The second element that was observed in the analysis was the question of who promotes this pedagogical sense in the careers and it was observed that it was mainly promoted by the students and teachers, whom we call agents of change. These agents are the ones who are constantly generating transformation actions from the artistic to the communities and providing a pedagogical sense to artistic practices.
