THE NEW AUDIOVISUAL CULTURE

The mass media have produced an environment characterized essentially by the image as the main element, named "iconosphere", where it can dispense with written language.

Tends to substitute the verbal language in synthetic and easy messages. In this, it is very important the television, the paper is being replaced by the screen.

THE CONCEPT OF CULTURE

• Culture is understood as a set of "values and ideas which tend to

incarnate in standards of behaviour, written or not."

(Davis, 1984).

Types of manifestations of

a culture

Objectively perceived

Placed in a background assessment, emotional or philosophical

THE NEW AUDIOVISUAL CULTURE THROUGH ITS

PRODUCTS: uniqueness vs multiplicityGutenberg introduced a

technology of reproduction, of multiplicity.

Gutenberg becomes the introducer, in the media, of the concept of multiplicity.

Current audiovisual culture is adapted

towards the multiplicity

Audiovisual culture is not possible until the technology has not

allowed it

A current communicative product has to be an element of

easy registration and multiplication

The uniqueness becomes something whose price can be

excessive

THE NEW AUDIOVISUAL CULTURE THROUGH ITS PRODUCTS: language vs

audiovisual culture• The difference between the two ways of expressing the same reality focuses on the perspective.

• The referent of the audiovisual culture is the language that is used. In consideration of audiovisual support occurs in channels that carry the message.

• But its similarity occurs in many cases. That interaction is something peculiar in the current audiovisual culture.

• Painting and literature are its most obvious models.

THE NEW AUDIOVISUAL CULTURE THROUGH ITS PRODUCTS: iteration vs

interaction

Conventional media Picture

Royal Academ

yDefines

Iteration as the action and the effect of repeating

something. Interaction is the development of actions identified as action and

reaction.

Remain immutable

For this reason, the iterative media are

replaced by interactive media

From the audiovisual culture of cinema to the "new audiovisual

culture" of video games there is an evolution of the iterative to

interactive

THE MEANS OF TEACHING FROM THE

BUDGETS OF THE AUDIOVISUAL CULTURE

Nowadays, the technological means used in teaching generally are means that have lost innovation. Educational technologies are by-product of a more diffused and widespread social use. When this is not the case, innovation

does not succeed.

1975

1995

The didactic athmosphere is conditioned by the possible services.

So new dimensions in teaching are growing up:

Teacher’s function changes

Creation of a “new language”

Creation of an individualizing

structure powerful enough

Teacher’s function change due to new technologies.

The teacher would be placed as an individualizer and socializer figure

It is only pretended to optimizing didactic resources.

Creation of a “new language”.

• Means repeating the same message but in a different way

“INTERLINGUISTIC REDUNDANCY”

through the use of:

-graphics-images-diagrams-sounds-videos

Creation of an individualizing structure powerful enough

• Each student has a different way of assimilate and understand the texts.

PREPEARING FOR A NEW WAY OF KNOWLEDGE.

INTRODUCTION The school is not ready for assume the challenge of the millennial:

the industry society  communication society and the new way of knowledge due to it.

HOW THE INFORMATION IS ENCODED?

For a few centuries, humanity has

channeled his need to store and transmit information through the word written in

the books. And today this is changing.

In the academic and professional field,

information support is evolving towards

multimedia systems, with a high weight of the word written in

some cases, but with a growing weight of

the image elsewhere.

In the family and social world already

has been the evolution towards an

audiovisual company,

dominated by the media, especially on

television.

This situation alarms are triggered. These are some of the most frequent criticisms: produced a decrease in concentration, there is an excess of information, but this is so shallow that we must rather speak of "saturation of superficiality, increase to passivity, loss of critical thinking and reasoning"(Babin y Kouloumdjian, 1983) capacity.

In any case, whether we accept the line boost facets of intellectual activity related to the image, like the analogy, intuition, global thinking... or enhance processes traditionally associated with the right hemisphere (globality, Visual,...), as if we accept the line interpret changes in its most negative aspect (superficiality, thoughtlessness, dispersion, lack of structuring of knowledge...)

 HOW DO WE ACCESS TO THE INFORMATION?

It is still possible to find in some old buildings of our most venerable universities classrooms in the old style. They tell us much about how the mode of access to knowledge was conceived.

We must highlight two features. One is the seriousness, moderation, respect, cheerful elements are missing, missing painted, missing jokes. The other feature is the unidirectional discourse.

The other is also social change, and encouraged by the evolution of technology that leads to participation, interactivity, dialogue and cooperative search.

The first point means that today you access information in a "fun" way. And it is through the fun as children and men have access to most of the information and, in many cases, which it considered most relevant.

We talked about the other feature, the participation. In recent years it has noticed how new communication technologies are evolving towards more participatory and interactive systems such as: Multimedia and Internet.

FIRST CHANGE: MAKING DECISIONS IN ACCESS TO THE INFORMATION

Education should become a continuous process of decision-making by students trying to access informationSearching for information is ability acquired through the

continuous and reflective practice

The teachers got used to provide the students all the information. Sometimes it's even connected with violating the

copyright (making photocopies)

It's important to develop the ability to search for information on their own

Incorporating information means the existence of

prior informations

Selecting the valued information involves making decisions

Develop selecting skill, motivate students to practice and help

structuring information, the new and old into a coherent whole

SECOND CHANGE: MEDIA INTEGRATION, MULTIPLICITY OF LANGUAGES

The analysis of the image and development of visual thinking can be made from many activities

• drawing• verbal descriptions• working with tables, charts and graphs, with time coordinates, maps, with mandalas,

with cartoons, with sketches of ideas, with color• using new technologies like video and computer

Teaching must become a continuous process of translating languages, codes and channels, the visual to the verbal,

written and audiovisual to vice versa

THIRD CHANGE: FOUR ADDITIONAL CHARACTERISTICS OF SCHOOL

the school must be ACTIVE it must be ENTERTAINING and FUN

should be PARTICIPATORY should be FREE (feeling freedom)

School, college, etc., must have today

FOUR characteristics:

TRUE/FALSE QUESTIONS1.Computers quickly occupied the gap generated by the disappearance of machines.

2. Audiovisual culture is possible even if the technology has not allowed it.

3. In the change of the teacher’s function due to technology, the task that the technology must develop is the processes of individualizing the teaching-learning procedures

TRUE/FALSE QUESTIONS

4.In the academic and professional field, information support is evolving towards multimedia systems.

5.Using new technologies like video or computer can be example of activity which develop visual thinking.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS

1. The mass media have produced an environment characterized essentially by the image as the main element, named:

a) Iconosphereb) Mass imagec) Either

2. Interaction means:a) The development of actions identified as

action and reaction.b) Something that remains immutable. c) Conventional media.

3.The hypertext is useful for individualizing the process of learning because:a) The information follows a secuencial line and

makes the student understand the whole text better.

b) The information follows a secuencial line and the student can choose the parts that he/she wants to read

c) The information does not follow a secuencial line and they can choose the order of the parts for reading it.  

4. In the Access of the information we must highlight two features:

d) One is the seriousness, moderation and respect and the other is the unidirectional discourse.

e) Multimedia and Internet.f) The participation and social change.

5. What should be four additional characteristics of the school?

a) Active, compulsory, strict and participatoryb) Entertaning, participatory, optional and unfreec) Active, entertaining, participatory and free
