Abstract
Art-Based Educational Research (ABER) is a type of research that uses artistic techniques as the basis of its methodology. The aim of this study is to find out about the topics used in ABER, its data collection techniques, strategies for disseminating results and knowledge transfer. The methodology used is essentially qualitative and the final sample included the analysis of 106 documents. As results and conclusions, it is worth highlighting that the ABER deals with studies on subjects that favour reflection, the development of sensitivity and the search for plural and creative solutions. Its themes focus on educational innovation and teacher training. Various artistic techniques and strategies are combined for data collection and the dissemination of results. These include those associated with the discipline of Visual and Plastic Arts, for example, mapping, performance and happening.
