Abstract | This paper describes the initial stages of a PhD research work in visual literacy, including the state of art, the theoretical framework and the methodology proposed for this PhD work. The use of the photographic medium in education has varied throughout history. Photography is evolving and renewing since its beginnings, therefore it is necessary a deep review of symbols and resources that make language up. As a result, symbols and resources will be provided with meaning and they will start to be part of the current learning language used in the earliest stages of education. In the research work presented in this paper, a new approach for visual literacy teaching will be developed. To pose this new approach, an analysis of archival photographs will be performed where in order to recognize recurrent symbols or signs that have been used since the formal beginning of the photography, aimed at assessing the literacy degree and name the used symbols. To perform these analysis, this thesis project will deal with a range of population aged 3 to 16 years (with the possibility of incorporate other ages), due is in this stage where people learn to use the language and where we should also start to use visual language. To recognize what visual language is we will work with photography. Specifically, with traditional, conventional, orthodox, or formals photographs, which are thought before shooting and have a purpose (document, delight, sell.). And also work with non-orthodox. In this way it includes a new concept where this kind of photography becomes "Non-Photography", this is the photography emerging from the unconscious, creative, gestural and, sometimes, with no other intention, but where are living more signs and symbols. This kind of photography will be one of the most important parts of the current research, in order to use it in the new approach for visual literacy teaching. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
