To this end, a tool (a mixed group self-administration questionnaire) has been designed and has been applied to the sample before taking the masters’ specific module in Didactics of the History of Art. The results of the study reveal, among the participants, a traditional and propaedeutic memories in relation to this subject in the Secondary School, Bachelor and university. This mnemonic heritage, embodied in the future teachers’ conceptions, represent a strong obstacle that the initial teacher training must overcome in order to achieve the renewal of the praxis of History of Art in the classrooms and thus guarantee the relevant critical audiovisual literacy of the students.
