Pertinencia del modelo de diseño curricular por competencias para un programa de formación musical de niñas, niños y jóvenes en el contexto intercultural del municipio de Pasto, Colombia

Relevance of the competency-based curriculum design model for a music education program for children and youth in the Latin American intercultural context

Abstract

This document is presented as a reflection of the research work carried out by
Calvache with the guidance of Caicedo to obtain the Master’s degree in Pedagogy
and Culture. The primary aim is to integrate knowledge and educational objectives of the different areas of the educational project called “Red de Escuelas de
Formación Musical” (REFM) (Network of Music Education Schools) within the
municipality of Pasto, Colombia, through a competency-based curriculum design
structure. This music-education project is aimed at children and youth between
the ages of seven and nineteen, with the main purpose of developing instrumental
and musical performance skills. This article seeks to illustrate the relevance of the
mentioned competency-based curriculum model as an alternative to address the
musical education needs and interests of a local Latin American context characterized by interculturality. It acknowledges the challenges and opportunities presented by the diverse cultures prevalent in Pasto. Also, this article considers that
the competency-based curriculum design model is not geared towards promoting
uniformity of cultural expressions, but instead it endeavors to embrace diversity
by recognizing differences as the most valuable asset of Latin America, fostering
a dialogue of knowledge.
