| Description: | In this course, we will explore one example of an educational policy/practice that has been adopted in selected schools and districts to improve student learning and/or engagement: arts integration. Historically, visual and performing arts activities have been introduced into core content instruction in U.S. schools to increase student interest and engagement, and to improve and deepen student learning. Strategies have included not only showing students examples of artworks and performances as a part of instruction, but teaching and allowing students to creat their own drawings, paintings, sculptures, and performances to demonstrate their mastery of content area skills. These strategies have been used not only in fields typically considered to overlap with the arts, such as English Language Arts and social studies, but also in math and science classrooms. Over the course of the semester, we will read and evaluate studies that detail effects upon student learning, and also experiment with modes of instruction using the arts in ways that have been studied. Open to any student; meets the curriculum and pedagogy requirement for Education Studies minors. |
