La formación del futuro docente a través de la interdisciplinariedad y la educación integral

Abstract

The Plastic Expression and the Musical Expression have a special relevance for the integral formation of the students of Early Childhood Education. Training in or from these areas of knowledge should be continued in the next stage, Primary Education, through the study of the so-called Area of Artistic Education (includes the subjects of Plastic and Music). The future teachers of Early Childhood Education should consider training in artistic education not only as an interrelated whole that guarantees the integral formation of the students of this educational stage, but as tools that favor and enhance the development of all fundamental areas (cognitive, motor, linguistics, etc.). This article presents the results of an interdisciplinary proposal developed in the third year of the Degree of Infantile Education of a Spanish university, between four subjects, through the plastic, visual and musical languages. The proposed activities combined Spanish language, theater, music, art and ICT. This experience allowed us to demonstrate the importance of interdisciplinary work during the training of future teachers in Early Childhood Education and the infinite possibilities that exist when proposing exercises that promote integral education and collaborative work between different disciplines.
