In 6º Encontro de Práticas de Investigação em Educação Artística, Lisboa, Portugal.http://hdl.handle.net/10451/62271Congresso realizado em Lisboa, Instituto de Educação da Universidade de Lisboa, nos dias 26, 27 e 28 de abril de 2018This pilot study aimed to test the use of video and literary-based learning of the topic “academic learning” in a practical psychology course. A group of 34 university psychology students was assessed before and after video and literary-based learning on their conception of learning, measured through the first scale of a Portuguese adaptation (Valadas, Gonçalves & Faísca, 2010) of ASSIST, Approaches and Study Skills Inventory for Students (Entwistle, Tait & McCune, 2000). The group was exposed both to a video and several literary excerpts that portray characters which illustrate the use of passive and active academic learning. Students were instructed to individually read and write on the excerpts by using reading strategies identified by research on psychology of literature. The products of these reading and writing were then discussed among students. Preliminary results of a before-after comparison, using a Student T-test, show a significant increase of a “significative” conception of learning, which denotes a notion of learning as comprehension and personal development.engArt-based learningArt-based teachingConceptions of learningjournal articlehttps://i2ads.up.pt/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/eprae_2018.pdf
