Resumen: This study explores the integration of digital and artistic-musical competencies in education, focusing on their potential to foster transversal competencies such as creativity, critical thinking, teamwork, and inclusion. A systematic review of 81 international scientific articles published between 2014 and 2024 reveals that while digital tools are increasingly used in music and arts education, their integration into interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approaches remains underdeveloped. The findings highlight the benefits of combining technological and artistic competencies for enhancing student engagement, motivation, and skills development. Notably, the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of digital tools in education, fostering innovative practices in artistic creation and collaboration. Key methodologies identified include technology-assisted collaborative learning, project-based learning (PBL), technology-assisted collaborative learning, gamification, and service-learning (S-L). However, challenges persist, including unequal access to technology, insufficient teacher training, and difficulties in evaluating competencies developed in integrated learning environments. To address these issues, the study proposes a transdisciplinary education model that integrates digital and artistic competencies into curricula while promoting transversal skills. This model emphasizes active methodologies, inclusive practices, teacher collaboration and holistic evaluation strategies to create an educational ecosystem that prepares students for the demands of a rapidly evolving digital world. The study underscores the need for ongoing teacher training, institutional support, and policy changes to ensure equitable access to resources and effective implementation of transdisciplinary approaches. By fostering creativity and innovation through the convergence of technology and the arts, this model aims to equip students with the skills necessary to navigate the complexities of the twenty first century.
