ABSTRACT

In this article, we argue that, for the study of Education in the Arts discipline to continue advancing, we must outline the

effects of forms of arts education, offered in certain contexts, on specific domains of children’s socio-emotional develo-

pment. We explain why formulating precise hypotheses about the effects ofarts education on children’s socio-emotional

development requires a diff erentiated definition of each menu of the academic year or arts education activity in ques-

tion, as well as a consideration of the immediate and broader contexts in which the grade of the (a) student or activity

takes place. Then, there are many examples of programs and activities related to Arts Education reaching children, thus

giving, within this article, the considerations that allow the refinement of hypotheses about the impact of arts education

on children’s socio-emotional development.
