Museum, art and education by competences: Experiences from challenge-based learning

Abstract

The change, direction and way in which education must be built from this second half of the 21st century is a consequence of the revolution in digital technologies. New skills are required to be able to break with traditional logical-deductive thinking. Along with them, spaces such as museums are reconsidered and redefined like these that, from artistic practices and new technologies, break with the linearity and rigidity of the scientific method. From the experience of the MUI (Interactive Urban Museum) in Puebla, a case of educational innovation with new museology is analyzed, developing experiential and challenging learning situations for university students who participate in exhibition projects and visual and museographic strategies of social impact. From the exhibitions produced in the last two years, it is possible to observe and identify a positive change in the domain of skills derived from artistic, museographic and visual content creation practice. It is concluded that this change in the level of mastery is related to the commitment (engagement) that students develop with the projects, as a high degree of experimentation is able to develop in the museum.
