La motivación como factor determinante en el proceso de enseñanzaaprendizaje de las artes plásticas en estudiantes de Bachillerato General Unificado

Abstract

Abstract: This research analyzes the relationship between motivation and teaching-learning processes in the field of visual arts, specifically among students enrolled in the Unified General Baccalaureate. Using a mixed-methodological approach, an instrument was designed to measure three main dimensions of motivation: intrinsic (related to personal satisfaction, curiosity, and interest), extrinsic (rewards, external stimuli), and pedagogical innovation (use of technological resources). The study reveals that intrinsic motivation the result of enjoying creating and feeling satisfied with oneself is the most deeply implicated in students' engagement in artistic production, while extrinsic motivations are relatively less influential, although they impact assessment environments, incentives, sanctions, etc. Furthermore, the introduction of digital tools and new strategies has emerged as a relevant motivating factor. It enhances the meaningful features of course materials, also including interdisciplinary approaches. The importance of research lies in advocating for pedagogical strategies that are supported, on the one hand, by students' real interests, and on the other, by educational technology and artistic expression as a language of communication. This will lead to a more comprehensive, independent, and emotionally connected education, one that reflects the true needs of today's youth for an optimal education.
