Nuevos escenarios de la educomunicación como resultado de la pandemia COVID-19. Estudio de caso: campamento virtual aventurarte

Abstract

The AVENTURARTE camp is a project of practical linkage, created by students and teachers of the Communication career of the Salesian Polytechnic University, in order to contribute their skills and abilities to underprivileged children of both the CENIT Foundation and the congregation of the Sisters of the Good Shepherd. This interactive project works virtually, where participants can express their knowledge freely. Interaction, communication, and teaching are fundamental axes within the tutorials so that the participants can interact more easily. Thus, within the academic article, the strategies of pedagogical resources and educommunicative elements used by tutors within the virtual camp are identified. That is why, through the ethnographic analysis related to qualitative research, the following is demonstrated: the use of pedagogical methodologies, such as games on the Kahoot and Quiz platform, and the use of educommunicative elements through Zoom WhatsApp. This allows having an academic proposal with which the teaching-learning is integrated and organized, thus motivating the children through different educational methods. The educational methodologies used by the tutors within the activities establish an experience of school accompaniment and human accompaniment, not only to children, but also to their families. Thus, it can be affirmed that the experience and methodological proposal carried out between the Linking Practices Unit - Communication, the students of linking practices, teachers and CENIT, is adjusted under the cooperative and action-research modality.
