Didactic possibilities of storyboarding: a study with trainee teachers
Abstract
INTRODUCTION. This research article analyses the impact of a storyboarding project with students of the Primary Education Degree in order to study the development of artistic and organisational knowledge skills of the participants. METHOD. This is a cross-sectional, exploratory study based on a mixed methodology combining questionnaires, observations and qualitative and quantitative analysis. A total of 131 students from the Degree in Primary Education participated in the study. The data were analysed using SPSS to identify impacts on technical, cognitive and expressive skills. RESULTS. The findings indicate that storyboarding favours students' artistic, cognitive and expressive skills, which are essential for the creation of visual narratives and for identifying relationships between different concepts and ideas. Differences were observed between males and females. In this sense, a higher appreciation of learning was observed among women, who stood out for their ability to organise visual concepts, while men perceived the project as a greater challenge. In addition, a general increase in artistic appreciation and self-awareness of the possibilities for improvement was detected, along with difficulties in spatial and character representation. DISCUSSION. The findings suggest that storyboarding is perceived by the participants as an effective tool for developing artistic and transversal cognitive competences, offering a pedagogical resource adaptable to different areas, and therefore its inclusion in educational curricula is recommended.
