Abstract

The paper presents an experience of cooperative action-research through teacher training and curriculum transformation. As the main general objective, there is the intention to begin a transformation in the curriculum of the initial cycle of a Center for Primary Education to move forward to an effective model of intercultural education, using as trigger a musical feature. To achieve the proposed objective an intervention in a public elementary school located in the province of Barcelona was held. Based on the needs of the center chosen to develope this work, a methodological design that allowed to propose a "transformative" research for the center and "instructive" for the participating teachers was applied. The main results suggest curriculum changes with respect to interculturalism, closely associated with the teachers' training, methodological strategies, curriculum and students.
