Introduction: PREART was designed to optimise arts training for teacher training students given the limited teaching load. Objective: to evaluate a self-directed learning methodology (video tutorials + guided practice) in fine arts subjects. Method: A longitudinal quasi-experimental study with three measurements (Q1-start, Q2-midpoint, Q3-end) using anonymous questionnaires, linked across time points by a non-identifiable code. Experimental group (n=84) and control group (n=16). Five self-reported competencies (scale 1–5) and four items assessing the value/usefulness of art were measured, constructing two indices (competencies and value). The effect was estimated using repeated measures models (GEE; group×time interaction), with complementary non-parametric analyses and Holm’s correction. Results: both groups improved, but the experimental group showed a significantly superior trajectory; after starting from comparable levels in Q1, it presented higher scores in Q2 and Q3 and greater gains relative to baseline, in both competencies and art appreciation. Conclusion: PREART is associated with differential and sustained improvements; triangulation with objective measures and greater equivalence between groups is recommended.
