EDUCATION THROUGH CINEMA: "BEATING HEARTS ON THE DESK

<p>In the context of the 5th Panhellenic Conference on "<em>Educational play and art in education and culture</em>", from the thematic section "<em>Educational cultural programmes</em>", I was given the opportunity to deal with the topic "<em>Education through cinema: "Hits on the Desk</em>" in terms of educational events. In the development of the film, I used the following themes: teaching and education, educational system, educational administration, evaluation, equipment, curriculum, behaviour-discipline, socio-political environment, family environment, profession and staff (the duration of each educational phenomenon). The film is set in the early 1960s and stars: A. Vougiouklaki, D. Papamichael, D. Konstantinaras, D. Papagiannopoulos, G. D. The music is by M. Hadjidakis and the script-direction: A. Sakellariou. Set in a wealthy area of Athens, Filothei, the film presents the carefree life, attitudes and reactions of the schoolgirls in a realistic mood. This era is a transitional period before the reform of G. Papandreou - E. Papanoutsou, where a period of intense political conflict with an impact on education begins. This period hides an "innocence" and carefreeness in student life. The film "<em>Knocking at the Desk</em>" is a continuation of the film "<em>The Wood came out of Paradise</em>" of the 1950s, where there are, we could say, small changes in the school process. At the same time, there is an improvement in certain aspects of educational reality. The film "<em>Knocking on the Desk</em>" is an emotional film that has also been shot in Turkish, has sold 591,675 tickets in Greece and was the second most popular film among the cinema audience in the period '63-'64.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0942/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
