Abstract

This article aims to investigate the vision of ideal education held by Ecuadorian university students, through artistic reflections posted on the hashtag #LaEducaciónSoñada on the social network X. To this end, ad-vertising information on art was collected during the pandemic, between 2020 and 2021. A mixed methodology was used, with sampling strategies and Visual Thinking techniques, where previous educational experiences in traditional environments were explored, and then dreamed pedagogical areas were applied. To this end, three key axes were identified: active methodologies centered on the student, inclusive educational environments, and the integration of art as a didactic-pedagogical tool. The results emphasize the need for free, creative, and respect-based education, with committed teachers and spaces that foster freedom and diversity. It is concluded that educational transformation requires interdisciplinary dialogue, teacher training in emotional and methodological competencies, and policies that prioritize creativity in equitable environ-ments. The study highlights the potential of art to humanize education and promote critical thinking. © 2025, Universidad Nacional Experimental Rafael Maria Baralt. All rights reserved.
