Comics as an educational resource and its use as a teaching tool

Abstract

When speaking of teaching, the methodology used has always been of concern, since its effectiveness results in good teaching quality. It has been a constant interest in educational techniques to reach out to the actors of the teaching-learning process. One of the most accessible forms for the great mass of the population is the illustrations, several studies have shown that teaching using the line of so-called comics is an interesting strategy that allows a significant way to reach the reader, since it exceeds the limitation that I could have the plain text. The current work demonstrates how to efficiently use the comics resource as a tool that facilitates the learning task with the construction of its own knowledge. In the proposed methodology, the elements necessary for the designer to construct the science he wishes to teach are provided. The active participatory methodology used allows the results to confirm the effectiveness of comics for meaningful and dynamic learning.
