Abstract

The present study aimed to analyze the potential of cooperative work as a pedagogical strategy for developing musical skills in elementary school students. A qualitative documentary research was conducted, supported by a systematic review of the scientific literature. The information search was conducted in academic databases such as Scopus, ERIC, JSTOR, and ProQuest, considering articles and studies that addressed the relationship between cooperative work and music education. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied to ensure the relevance and quality of the sources. The findings showed that cooperative work significantly favors the development of cognitive, psychomotor, and affective musical skills by promoting positive interdependence, individual responsibility, and collaborative learning. Furthermore, it was identified that this strategy contributes to strengthening social skills and increasing student motivation. However, challenges in its implementation were recognized, such as lack of resources, teacher resistance, and difficulties in group assessment. In conclusion, the review demonstrated that cooperative work is an effective pedagogical tool for teaching music, fostering active, participatory, and meaningful learning. Further research into strategies to optimize its application in diverse educational contexts is recommended.
