Visual resources for accompanying university learning and study

Abstract

Unidad Pedagógica [Pedagogical Area], which belongs to the Secretariat of Academic Affairs of the School of Economic Sciences of the National University of La Plata, aims to guide students in their difficulties with study and to provide permanent pedagogical advice to teachers. One of its lines of action is Espacio Estudiantes [Student Space], which focuses on the guidance of Economic Sciences’ students in their academic careers. The proposals to guide the students include activities such as workshops, conferences, individual meetings, among others. This paper presents two proposals that account for the work carried out in Espacio Estudiantes, the creation of two visual materials, as a result of the transformations in the ways of studying and learning that were imposed in the pandemic during the year 2020. The form of accompaniment of the Unidad Pedagógica was reconsidered to adapt to the new modality. "A practical calendar for the subjects" seeks to accompany the processes of construction of a personal style of studying of university students. The other material is called "Visual aids" and is a resource with self-instruction guides to perform individually and promote autonomous learning.
