This article presents the first analysed data from the research project “Youth as Visual Culture Producers: Artistic Skills and Savoir in Secondary Education” financed by the Spanish Innovation and Science Ministry (EDU2009-13712). The data has been gathered using a questionnaire that was answered by 786 teenagers, ages 15 to 19, from schools all around Spain. The questions were designed to get information about three different aspects: - Which is the general picture of the Youth as Visual Culture producer? - Which are the circumstances in which their Visual Culture production takes place and how do they value them? - Which is the connection between school learning and their Visual Culture production? We have found that an overwhelming majority of the inquired teenagers uses photography and very few are into graffiti, comic or web designing despite these have been commonly understood to be youth’s interests. Most of them inform that the origin of their images relays always or very often on their imagination and very few on media images. This is surprising as photography is the main activity of the majority and is used as a way of sharing and keeping record of their everyday lives. In addition we found that non-formal contexts are mostly where they start producing images, usually among friends but unaware of collaborative learning. The main hypothesis underneath the project was also confirmed: secondary education does not take into account how teenagers are connecting with savoirs in and outside school, particularly those involving artistic skills and aesthetic experiences (Birbili, 2005; Hargreaves, Earl and Ryan, 1998). And a new insight has been added: teenagers do not expect any encouragement or interest from their teachers and some of them think it is better that way.

Digital storytelling (DS) implies creating reflective or instructive stories, which engage the learner and may promote higher order thinking skills and deeper learning. Moreover, digital technology allows for creating meaningful and attractive stories at low cost and with little technical requirements, enhancing motivation and engagement with the task. However, successfully implementing DS requires good digital competence and sound content knowledge. Here we present the results of a five-session training programme that sought to provide specific instruction and to accompany teachers in the implementation of digital storytelling. It comprised tools for structuring scientific knowledge, ideas about good questions, representations of modes alternative to written language, and the integration of art and editing tools. The teachers had major difficulties in organizing information in meaningful ways and working with crosscutting concepts. From the analysis, it became evident that the complexity of the digital artifact attracted most of the time and effort, detracting from treatment of the scientific concepts; although the teacher attendees assimilated effectively the technical tips offered, there was considerable resistance to changing the way of teaching, which may preclude the implementation of innovative methodologies of this kind.

Adolescentes gays en la era digital: orientaciones para la educación
(Universidad Politécnica Salesiana (Ecuador), 2019) Calvelhe Panizo, Lander; Ciencias Humanas y de la Educación; Giza eta Hezkuntza Zientziak
Internet offers multiple opportunities to access quickly and easily to information and interactions with other people. This article presents the results of a research on the processes of self-identification and socialization as gay of a group of twelve teenagers between 14 and 19 y.o. in this digital age. Here their experiences and practices are analysed based on their testimonies in which we find the need for connection with their peers, and at the same time, the fear of homophobic bullying. In coherence, Internet is perceived as a place of hope and also of uncertainty, hence it is used with caution and anonymity. Moreover, there are evidences on how these Internet practices are more common during a period of confusion about the consequences of their homosexuality, and also on how their decline once the teenagers' socializations as gay in real life are more widespread. The methodology of this research is based on the analysis of the content of the individual in-depth interviews of a sample elaborated during two years, while taking into account the contributions of the narrative research and its interest on storytelling and the anecdote as approximations to lived experience. The article ends proposing educational implications based on the results of the study, and putting them in relation with other authors' materials and reflections.

Flower Power: compartiendo con el profesorado sobre feminismos, experiencias queer y educación artística
(Universitat de València, 2021) Calvelhe Panizo, Lander; Ciencias Humanas y de la Educación; Giza eta Hezkuntza Zientziak
Este artículo quiere compartir una serie experiencias que nacen de la realización de dos seminarios de formación permanente del profesorado titulados Flower Power, en torno al legado feminista multidimensional, las experiencias queer y la educación artística, en el contexto de un centro de arte contemporáneo. Basándose en el lema fundacional de lo personal es político, y las corrientes de investigación narrativa y auto-etnográfica, aquí se presentan - ocasionalmente en primera persona-, los tres bloques principales de dichos seminarios. Primero, el auto-cuidado del profesorado como herramienta política en educación; segundo, el derecho al baile y el disfrute, dentro y fuera de las aulas; y tercero, las posibilidades sensibles de los cuerpos, tanto del profesorado como del alumnado. El artículo finaliza remarcando el importante potencial de innovación, bienestar y transformación personal y política que la educación en las artes puede facilitar desde una perspectiva feminista y queer multidimensional. En definitiva, una perspectiva que va construyéndose e informando la práctica docente más allá de temarios y contenidos específicos, basándose y generando experiencias igualmente multidimensionales en escuelas, institutos y universidades.

Primeras reflexiones y conjeturas sobre la relación de l@s jóvenes no heterosexuales con la cultura visual y su papel como productor@s: el caso de GaPablo
(Pamiela - Edarte, 2012) Calvelhe Panizo, Lander; Psicología y Pedagogía; Psikologia eta Pedagogia
This article is a first contribution from the Ph.D. project “Young People as Visual Culture Producers Among Affective, Sexual and Gender Diversity: Saviors, Experiences and Identity Politics”. The main aim of the research is to explore how young people, who are questioning heteronormativity (Warner, 1991) by their sexual orientation and/or gender identity, are consuming and producing Visual Culture (Dikovitskaya, 2005; Hernández, 2004) and which roles this activities are playing in coping with their everyday lives, particularly in school. In this framework, the following pages provide a significant group of abductions (Sebeok & y Umiker-Sebeok, 1987) gathered up a long a pilot experience of collaboration with GaPablo –nick name–, a 16 years old teenager self-identified as gay. After having launched a social club for LGTB teenagers and friends last October 2011 in the Youth Center of Pamplona (rainbowtaldea.blogspot.com), Internet interaction with him started and eventually an interview was set up. This first meeting drawed out valuable issues on GaPablo’s family views on homosexuality, the importance of his blog/vlog and some insights of what Lady Gaga means to him. He agreed with the key ideas of this article concerning him and also to meet again for a second part of this in-depth and creative interview (Douglas, 1985). From a constructivist standpoint (Guba & Lincoln, 1994) and very close to post-structural feminism (Haraway, 1995; hooks, 2003), this research project aims to become useful to school professionals and other learning communities alike. Therefore, this article concludes with three suggestions to develop a Cultural Pedagogy (Steingberg, 2011) which would acknowledge affective, sexual and gender diversity: adjudging which and how sexuality and gender are been taught in schools mostly by the hidden curriculum, opening school culture to this diversities which students already know about probably by the media, and addressing from a critical perspective the LGTB people represented in mainstream culture by focusing on how students are challenging these stereotypes. This Ph.D. project is possible thanks to a scholarship and its relationship with the research project “Youth as Visual Culture Producers: Artistic Skills and Savoir in Secondary Education” (EDU2009-13712) financed by the Spanish Innovation and Science Ministry.
