Alfabetización visual Un escenario para la comprensión lectora y emocional en comunidades vulnerables

Abstract

This book is the product of a formative experience with students and teachers of an educational institution located in the municipality of Soacha (Cundinamarca, Colombia); in this space, students from complex vulnerable contexts, which led them to drop out of the school system, and teachers in thorny conditions, which make it difficult for them to guide appropriate educational processes, met to enable a learning space mediated by ICT. In this investigative process, what this book proposes as visual literacy as a possibility for the understanding of words, images and emotions, for the knowledge of the world, interaction with others and expression, to go beyond a simple representation of things, to support the work of teachers before, during and after a training process, for the academic orientation of reading and emotional comprehension, and to help overcome difficulties that negatively affect the permanence, motivation and school performance, unfolded. The construction of cartoons and infographics developed in this book allowed for a different approach to the reading and emotional comprehension of students and teachers, essential elements in the return to school.
