Keywords:

The need for cognitive and leadership skills requires the exploration of creative
implementation models that ensure training and emphasise the value of individuals
as the main asset within organisations. This research aims to introduce and
validate a disruptive didactic innovation, which fosters the development of these
skills through experiential communication via “Skills&Art”. The methodology
used is Design Research, an emerging approach in educational research that
encompasses developing and implementing a new or improved model, validating
techniques, tools or models and determining conditions that facilitate successful
implementation. The research was conducted in both classroom and museum
settings. It consisted of a four-phase activity focused on crafting a speech that
linked a skill with an artwork. A qualitative study of the speeches and a Likert
self-assessment questionnaire were performed. The results demonstrate that the
proposed disruptive didactic innovation Skills&Art is effective and efficient, and
its self-assessed learning promotes innovation, creativity, initiative, problem-
solving and analytical thinking. The novelty and contribution of this study lie in
implementing these thinking skills within a single activity.
