The environmental crisis in animated short films: the perceptions of primary education teacher training students

Abstract

The current environmental crisis has a clear origin in human activity. In recent decades
this crisis has accelerated the degradation of earth’s ecosystems generating problems to which
solutions are yet to be found. Education plays a fundamental role in curbing the environmental
crisis. Thus, animated short films with critical messages from an environmental point of view
have been introduced as an innovative resource to be used in the classroom by primary education
teacher training teachers. After the observation of the short films, several questions were posed
to these future teachers. The content analysis of the students’ written productions revealed that
they perceived the animated short film as a useful resource to address environmental content
and transmit values that would allow a shift toward sustainability. The results also revealed
that future primary school teachers considered that they did not receive sufficient academic
training to be able to use audiovisuals in the classroom in an adequate way.
