Google Art & Culture supporting a subject in Psychology’s Bachelor

Abstract

The activity reports the use of Google Art & Culture in students, of the first semester; in the Open University System in Psychology’s Faculty at UNAM. This activity involved the organization in two phases: the first one used the topic Psychoanalytic Model, in the subject “Models in Clinical Psychology” to identify the ideas, authors, and concepts. The second phase involved the use of the site Google Art & Culture as a tool that supports the knowledge of the first phase, in which the students chose images, videos, journalistic notes referring to the psychoanalytic model, in order to represent and identify the theoretical contents. The activity has been made during the semesters 2017-1 and 2018-1; the activity was done by 14 students voluntary. The results show the use of visual elements, such as photographs and videos, suggested by the gallery of the Freud Museum London and the Sigmund Freud Museum allow the students to identify ideas and representative concepts of the psychoanalytic model, for example: the photography of Sigmund Freud, the photography of Carl Jung, Freud's Study, Freud's Psychoanalytic Couch and the Freud's Desk. Finally, this experience allows knowing a tool to reinforce the learning of the students and to spread new studies in the support with ICT to curricular contents and doing investigation in the Open University System.
