Abstract Details

2015, Doctor of Philosophy, University of Toledo, Curriculum and Instruction.
The concept of artistry in teaching is not new, however, the importance of reevaluating artistry in teaching may be of value in light of a societal focus on the anaesthetic features of positivism under the auspices of standardization and accountability. The purpose of this study was to discover the connections between teaching as artistic expression and learning as aesthetic experience from the perspective of current in-service teachers. Through interviews, observations, and artifacts such as teacher reflections and photographs, a preliminary understanding of artistic teachers’ lived experiences was gained and the essence of these artistic teachers encounters with phenomenon was drawn out to create models of the art of teaching to better understand teachers’ philosophical orientations. The guiding questions for this study included: In what ways did teachers conceive teaching as artistic expression? In what ways did teachers conceive learning as aesthetic experience? In what ways did teachers conceive the connections between teaching as artistic expression and learning as aesthetic experience?
