Abstract

In view of social crises around the world, the supranational agenda calls for exercising critical and responsible activism oriented towards human rights. Hence, educational systems should favour the appropriation of activist agency. The current study aims to evaluate the appropriation of activist agency in students enrolled in a higher education program of music pedagogy that is imparted in Chile. A qualitative and quasi-experimental design based on hermeneutic pedagogy is used, as a workshop that promotes the appropriation of activist agency has been implemented. Results display that higher education students at the beginning only problematised music teaching; however, at the end of the workshop, they were willing to think about human rights music education in a praxeological way. In conclusion, the activist agency is nourished by the continuous questioning of teaching practice. Some implications are presented.
