FUNDAMENTALS OF DIDACTICS FOR TEACHING ARTS EDUCATION AT THE SECONDARY SCHOOL LEVEL

Abstract

The fundamentals of didactics for teaching arts education at the secondary school level constitute a theoretical and methodological framework that seeks to guide pedagogical practices toward the development of skills, knowledge, and attitudes related to artistic expressions. Didactics, in this context, is understood as a set of principles and strategies that facilitate the transmission and construction of artistic knowledge, promoting meaningful experiences that connect students with their cultural and personal environment. Therefore, the objective of this article was to analyze the fundamentals of didactics for teaching arts at the secondary school level. To achieve this goal, a qualitative methodology will be used based on an essay-type text. The sociocultural dimension is fundamental to these fundamentals. The teaching of arts education in secondary school must recognize cultural diversity and promote respect for different local and international artistic expressions. Teaching should design activities that allow students to explore their own cultural roots while engaging with other artistic traditions. From this foundation, an intercultural pedagogy is fostered that values aesthetic plurality and promotes attitudes of tolerance, identity, and social belonging through art.
