A Transdisciplinary Approach to Research on Use of Distance Learning

Report about the Academy of Fine Arts in Naples during the Pandemic Emergency (Sars CoV-2, 2020/2021) using Images, Notes and Interviews with the Teachers and Students

Abstract

The research aims at the need to deepen the experiences of online teaching (Dad) in theoretical-practical subjects by the teachers of the Academy of Fine Arts in Naples during the state of emergency caused by the Coronavirus pandemic (Covid-19). It is a study that could be considered as a hypothetical and possible theoretical model that can be repeated and implemented with subsequent analyzes in other territorial contexts and also with the experience of music conservatories in the certainty that nothing will return exactly as before and that this experience will mark a total rethinking of the training methods of the AFAM (Higher Artistic and Musical Education) sector. Through a series of interviews with teachers of the various theoretical / practical disciplines we will try to highlight the merits, the strengths of the online teaching, the failures and uncertainties but above all the innovative strategies and the original solutions that we have generated to be able to preserve a degree of human, experiential and direct relationship, a flow of non-verbal information typical of theoretical / practical disciplines.We will analyze the working conditions in online teaching crossing diagonally all the departments in which artistic training is indissolubly intertwined with manual skills.
