The present paper explores the educational potential in the application of techniques, elements and tools from interactive games. At the same time it would expose clear evidences of how these would impact on the learning of users. Videogames are capable of introducing more personalized learning experiences to specific learners, as well as heuristic try-and-error methods that would lead to goal achievements. These knowledge systems, either propositional or procedural, imply a constant search for solutions and alternatives to given problems. What is the nature of this educational videogames? How and to which extent have they been introduced into the education system? What subjects can we really develop in this regard? This would be the starting point of our enveavour to discuss the actual affordances and constraints of this new media within the area of modern education. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The feminist student movement of the year 2018 in Chile posed a series of challenges to universities, mainstreaming the demand for a non-sexist education. The present article seeks to problematize this demand taking into account the theory and trajectory of intersectional feminist pedagogies, deepening the debate around sexism in education. We begin with a contextualization of the feminist student movement in Chile, pointing out its main demands. Then we explain our intersectional approach, as a positioning and a conceptualization. Secondly, we address intersectional feminist pedagogies presenting four axes we consider relevant in relation to the demands posed by the movement: feminist epistemologies and situated knowledges; feminist pedagogies as embodied and affective practices; relations and hierarchies of power: the emphasis on the relational and collective dimension of the construction of knowledges; and the concern to improve people's material living conditions. Finally, in the conclusions, we emphasize how intersectional feminist pedagogies allow us to go beyond a nonsexist education, proposing a more structural, complex and liberating project of social transformation.
