Abstract

The objective of this research article is to propose a didactic strategy to strengthen citizen skills in basic education, making use of musical appreciation as a diagnostic mechanism for anti-values. Based on a qualitative study, from an ethnographic field and at a descriptive level, two fundamental phases are fulfilled: first, the determination of the influence of the lyrics of a group of songs, in the civic competences developed by the students who are the subjects of the study; from the content analysis of the letters; secondly, the strategic design of an accompanying guide on values to improve coexistence. The population consisted of 180 students of basic secondary education, from grades 6 to 11, from an educational institute in Norte de Santander, Cúcuta, Colombia; likewise, 15 songs considered the most listened to by students. The collection techniques were the interview and the intervention through focus groups. It is concluded that, regarding the content of the lyrics, they express profanity, and guide the creation of a need for the listener, to identify with the lyrics and with the person who interprets them; This verbal message is accompanied by an auditory influence of the rhythm, which generates an identity impact on the listener from the consumption of the lyrics. Regarding the proportion of anti-values per song, of 14 anti-values, 12 of the 15 songs have 6 anti-values (42.86%). The most outstanding anti-values are obscene words, promiscuity, sexual and erotic content, and the promotion of crime. A strategy is designed to strengthen social values, a strategy consisting of an accompanying guide on values to improve coexistence
