Aplicaciones del arte en la educación superior. Un enfoque terapéutico hacia el autoconocimiento y la autorregulación

Abstract

Many of the pedagogical projects, either basic or university education, focus their efforts only on the cognitive facet of the students and forget the importance of the coexistence, behavioral and attitudinal aspects within their curricula, and this makes everything become a vicious circle in which the integrality of the person loses relevance, and even validity. In this line, this research seeks to be a pioneer in the development of a model program that enables the implementation, within the curriculum, of a fully structured space to trigger reflexive-creative thinking in students, through artistic activities, facilitating the direct work with the inner material - emotions, impulses, unconscious ideas, creative ideas ... - of each individual. This fosters a self-knowledge that works as a motor and a door to face fears and apprehensions that prevent a healthy development of the person, expanding, as well, the view of the world and the own actions that are generated within it.
