Projects with EduScrum techniques in the training of arts education teachers

Abstract

A current challenge in art education is to achieve collaborative learning in both knowledge management and creation. This requires moving to new methodologies such as project-based learning and EduScrum that emphasize teamwork. The objective of this article is to present the results of the collaborative learning of the students in the creation of a three-dimensional plastic work, through a project following the EduScrum techniques, in the subject Artistic Training III in the teaching career in Artistic Education in the Central University "Marta Abreu" of Las Villas, Cuba, in the 2020-2021 academic year. A dialectical materialist methodology was assumed that integrates quantitative and qualitative methods based on a chronological series design with a single group to evaluate the collaborative learning of the students in the five phases in which the creation process was divided. The evaluations were carried out using a rubric created for this purpose. The results of the qualifications formed a time series from which the evolution of the teams was assessed. We worked with an intentional sample of eight students in the 2020-2021 academic year. The progressive progress experienced by the teams in the evaluations of each phase, both from a cognitive point of view and due to its positive impact on motivation, suggest that the collaborative learning of the students was strengthened by carrying out the project using EduScrum techniques.
