La influencia de la transdisciplinariedad en la creatividad infantil: un estudio en la clase de arte visual en niños de cuarto de básica.

Abstract

Abstract: The research demonstrated that traditional teaching limits children's creativity, and that transdisciplinary integration in the art classroom transforms academic content into meaningful, affective, and cognitive experiences through activities designed to connect art with other disciplines. This was analyzed using a mixed-methods approach that combined surveys, interviews, observations, rubric analysis, and lesson planning applied to fourth-grade students in a constructivist context. The findings revealed improvements in motivation and mental processes; students showed greater understanding of concepts, increased self-expression, and improved classroom skills. However, challenges were also identified, as the curriculum is rigid and it is difficult for teachers to find time and space to coordinate transdisciplinary work. Therefore, the study concludes that when transdisciplinarity is planned and implemented with pedagogical coherence, it enhances creativity and learning. It is thus a relevant educational model for the 21st century, though sustaining it requires transforming educational institutions and promoting flexible, collaborative, and inclusive structures.
