42-6159
Research and discussion address the current status of arts education: state requirements and emphases, focus, assessment requirements and tools, test design, lesson and unit planning for secondary school level instruction, and the place of aesthetics in the secondary curriculum. Teacher candidates evaluate current methodologies such as discipline-based art education, creative problem solving, interdisciplinary learning, and multicultural approaches to arts in education. Teacher candidates are required to observe art lessons in K-12 classroom settings in order to extend their understanding about ways to teach the visual arts.
