Bæta listgreinar námsárangur? Hvað felst í því að „kenna“ list? Hvert ætti vægi klassískrar tónlistar og popptónlistar að vera í tónlistarnámi? Eigum við að hvetja ung börn til að koma fram á sviði? Hvernig metum við hvort verk barns sé gott? Hvernig rökstyðjum við sess listgreina í námskránni? Hvert ætti jafnvægið milli forms og innihalds að vera í listkennslu? Listgreinar í menntun vekja mikinn áhuga og sterkar tilfinningar.
Þeim fylgir þó ekki alltaf skýr skilningur. Í þessari bók kynnir Mike Fleming helstu fræðilegu álitaefni listmenntunar og skýrir tengsl þeirra við framkvæmd kennslu. Bókin veitir traust yfirlit yfir hvernig lykilhöfundar á sviði fagurfræði, listfræði og menningarfræða fjalla um hugmyndir sem skipta máli fyrir menntun. Hún tekur til allra þátta listmenntunar, meðal annars:
- skilgreininga og kenninga um list
- áhrifa á listkennslu
- rannsókna á listgreinum
- kennslu og náms
- sköpunar
- námsmats
Í bókinni eru fjölmörg dæmi úr kennslustarfi sem varpa ljósi á lykilhugmyndir. Einnig er fjallað um gagnleg bakgrunnsrit, efni þeirra dregið saman og bent á röksemdir sem vert er að kanna nánar. Bókin er skrifuð af einum fremsta sérfræðingi á sviðinu og er nauðsynleg lesning fyrir nemendur í PGCE-námi í listgreinum og námi á meistarastigi, listgreinakennara og stefnumótendur sem vilja öðlast dýpri skilning og innsýn í starf sitt.
Do the arts improve academic achievement? What does it mean to ‘teach’ art? What should the balance of classic and pop be in the music curriculum? Should we encourage young children on the stage? How do we judge whether what a child produces is good? How do we justify the arts in the curriculum? What should be the balance between form and content when teaching art? The arts in education inspire considerable commitment and passion.
However, this is not always matched by clarity of understanding. In this book Mike Fleming introduces the reader to key theoretical questions associated with arts education and clearly explains how these are related to practice. It offers an authoritative account of how ideas relevant to education are addressed by key authors in aesthetics, art theory and cultural studies. Covering all aspects of arts education, the book considers: definitions and theories of art influences on teaching the arts researching the arts teaching and learning creativity assessment.
Throughout the book there are examples of practice to illustrate key ideas and a discussion of useful background texts with a summary of content and arguments for further exploration. Written by a leading authority in the field, it is essential reading for students on Arts PGCE and M Level courses, teachers of the arts and policy developers that require more understanding and insight into their practice.
