Alvarado Sánchez, Jairo Augusto2014-04-042014-04-042014-04-04http://hdl.handle.net/10567/1069Artistic education plays a key role in the school learning processes and allows, through an aesthetic experience, the approximation of all the education aims: access to the cultural world. The validity and scope of this education have been studied from two aspects: the public policy agenda at contnental level and the curriculum development moments of artistic education. Results have shown that the artistic impact in education goes beyond establishing or regulating the teaching of a knowledge area or field since the question does not rely only a pedagogic challenge for the school or for the teacher, but on a collective challenge in which the whole society is involved. At the same time, aesthetic education contributes to individual and social development from a democratic perspective based on the recognition and legitimacy of the other.esEducación artísticaPolítica públicaCurrículoEducación básica primariaSistema de Investigación LasallistaArticle
