THE LEARNING COMMUNITY AS A MEANS TO ENHANCE PROFESSIONAL SKILLS IN 3D PRODUCTION

Abstract

This article explores the intersection between university pedagogy and 3D production, addressing the challenges of professional insertion in this field and strategies to develop students' skills. Partial results of an action research project are presented, focusing on the implementation of a learning community to support the development of skills in 3D production in a Bachelor's degree in media creation at a French-speaking university in Quebec, Canada. The analysis of the data, from a group interview with ten students who attended the course, revealed the contributions and limitations of the learning community. In addition, suggestions for future research in the area were identified. This study highlights the importance of innovative pedagogical strategies to prepare students for the ever-evolving job market, particularly in technological sectors such as 3D production. The research also highlights the ongoing need to adapt and improve teaching practices to better meet the demands of society and promote the professional success of undergraduates.
