Description
Understanding Art Education: Exploring Theory and Practice in Secondary Schools. This book examines the theory and practice of helping young people learn in and beyond the secondary classroom, providing guidance for ways of thinking about art and design when preparing to teach. Experts in the field explore key topics such as the histories of art and design education, creativity as a foundation for learning, engaging with contemporary practice, assessment, interdisciplinary approaches, and developing dialogue. By reflecting on their own experiences and beliefs, art and design teachers can locate their own practices within a framework that informs and contributes to education and society more widely. Suitable for students studying at M Level, teacher educators, and researchers, this book offers a reflective approach to understanding the role of art and design in education and its wider implications.
