RESUMO:

 

Throughout its historical development graphic design has maintained a very close relationship with technology and in recent years this relationship has been enhanced by the emergence of another culture, based on the use and appropriation of digital technologies, especially computer technologies and the Internet, known as "digital culture". In this context, graphic design modified its elements and principles to fit in this digital culture. In university, the teaching of graphic design has also been affected by the influence of this other culture, because of young students whom already have a very high level of technological expertise, knowing how to use digital technologies and owning the technical knowledge that took many years for previous generations to own. Although this relationship between design and technology is as important as the immersion of young students in digital culture, design education has not achieved a satisfactory appropriation of digital technologies. In this context, the main objective of this research is to understand how digital culture influences the education of graphic designers, specifically at the “Universidad Centroamericana de Nicaragua” (UCA). For this reason our research methodology was characterized by a qualitative approach of the bibliographical-documentary type, focused on the institutional documents of the graphic design undergraduate coursein the UCA. Bibliographic records were prepared so we could systematize and record the review of these institutional documents, ensuring that the process of identifying the bibliographic sources was completely adequate to our research. The results of this research show that at UCA, the teaching of graphic design obviates the fact that digital technologies represent a content-laden element, at the same time it does not take advantage of the high level of technological knowledge owned by its students, to optimize educational process included in the curriculum and thematic programs of this undergraduate course. Through the bibliographical review of the curricular documents, we verified that although the objective of the graphic design undergraduate course contemplates the education of students with a strong technological base, not all the elements of their curriculum are oriented to take advantage of all of the possibilities digital culture has to offer. And those curricular elements that have the potential to take such advantage, have a tendency the use digital technologies simply as instruments, such as the disciplines focused on teaching the usage of computer-aided design softwares and disciplines taught at a distance (mediated by technologies).
