ABSTRACT

The high rate of rurality and population ageing are two of the principal characteristics that make Galicia a region with certain peculiarities that require actions to promote an active role for its senior citizens. Through a service-learning project embedded within a broader framework of arts-based research, student teachers designed an artistic workshop that they implemented in a rural community centre. This workshop allowed the creation of visual narratives that were especially appropriate to recover elders’ memories. By means of a case study, the impact of the service-learning project developed during the training of the students was analysed. The results enable us to ascertain students’ perceptions related to the benefits and impact of the project in their training. Students have a positive opinion regarding the opportunity of experiencing a service-learning project that allowed them to create a documentary film where they portrayed the life histories of the elderly people. For the City Council (the partner in this project), as well as for the participants in the workshops, it was also an enriching experience that can be transferred to other contexts. The positive effects of the project reflect student teachers’ commitment to society and opportunities for experiential learning in teacher training courses.

摘要

农村人口比例高和人口老龄化是使加利西亚成为具有某些特殊性的地区的两个主要特征，需要采取行动促进老年人发挥积极作用。通过一个嵌入到更广泛的艺术研究框架内的服务学习项目，学生教师设计了一个艺术工作坊，并在农村社区中心实施。该研讨会允许创建特别适合恢复长者记忆的视觉叙事。通过案例研究，分析了在学生培训期间开发的服务学习项目的影响。结果使我们能够确定学生对项目在培训中的好处和影响的看法。学生们对体验服务学习项目的机会持积极态度，该项目使他们能够制作一部描述老年人生活史的纪录片。对于市议会（该项目的合作伙伴）以及研讨会的参与者来说，这也是一种可以转移到其他环境中的丰富经验。该项目的积极影响反映了学生教师对社会的承诺以及教师培训课程中体验式学习的机会。这也是一种丰富的经验，可以转移到其他环境中。该项目的积极影响反映了学生教师对社会的承诺以及教师培训课程中体验式学习的机会。这也是一种丰富的经验，可以转移到其他环境中。该项目的积极影响反映了学生教师对社会的承诺以及教师培训课程中体验式学习的机会。
