Abstract

This article explores the learning processes in group improvisation through a collaborative action research study centred on the ¨musicalization¨ of a series of paintings by a professional painter. The study took place with a group of third year students attending a Secondary School in Madrid over the course of 14 lessons during the third term of the year 2011. The research questions are based on the learning process analysis, the emergent aspects, and the analysis of the relevancy of group improvisation in Secondary Education. For the data analysis we used participant and non-participant observation, video recordings, interviews and questionnaires. The conclusion reveals the holistic nature of the learning processes determined by group identity, motivation, positive emotions, class environment and wellbeing in a transversal didactic project.
