Currículum competencial y educación artística en secundaria: Resultados de una experiencia de cocreación basada en el ABP

This article presents the results of an interdisciplinary project in the second cycle of ESO, developed in the curricular competence framework and oriented towards a co-creation process. The experience, which focuses on the ABP methodology, interrelates music, visual arts and a foreign language (English). In parallel to the educational project, a quasi-experimental exploratory research was designed, with a final descriptive and interpretative phase. The sample consisted of students from 3rd and 4th years of ESO (n = 109) studying in two centers in the same geographical environment. A pre-test and post-test, previously validated, were used to answer these two research topics: 1) The value students give to interdisciplinary work, and 2) the benefits of cooperative work developed through a creative challenge. The results, after the data analysis, indicate that students value interdisciplinarity in a positive way, and that cooperative work is particularly effective for the inclusion of students with poor school results. The discussion debates about the contribution of project-based learning (PBL) as a method related to competency curriculum and, in turn, as a collective challenge that requires coherence, internal organization and high involvement of the participants.
