La Literacidad Visual en la Educación: Estado del Arte en los Contextos Internacional y Nacional-Colombia

First of all, it is evident we lived in a world surrounded by images that are fundamental for communication, the form of language is transformed and visual literacy is needed, this has been configured in a change that brings difficulties in understanding, as stated by the ACRL (2011) being surrounded by graphics does not imply that there is understanding, so visual literacy is relevant to interact today. Thus, it is necessary to review the research developed at national and international level, motivating as a guiding question: How is visual literacy addressed in education in international contexts, versus in Colombia?, to answer, it focuses on three categories: Visual abilities, Visual literacy in education and Visual literacy in Colombia, we worked in the following databases: Google Académico, Tylor & Francis, Science Direct, Dialnet, Scopus, SciELO. Methodologically, it was based on the qualitative approach and systematic biometric method. Among the conclusions, there is evidence of the need to include visual literacy in the classroom as a matter of urgency due to the changes in today's world, especially in Colombia, where there is a scarcity of publications on the subject.
