"Still Building that Idea": Preservice Art Educators' Perspectives on Integrating Literacy across the Curriculum.
Year: 2010
Type: article
Abstract: Conducted collaboratively by an art educator and a literacy educator, this qualitative study focused on pre-service art educators ’ perspectives on integrating literacy in their teaching of art as they took a required course on literacy across the curriculum. Data included interviews, questionnaires, course assignments, and field notes from class sessions. Our analysis identified three patterns related to participants ’ perspectives while taking the course: their conceptions of literacy expanded, they reconceptualized familiar art education practices with a literacy-focused lens, and they considered new practices. Findings suggest that literacy courses are valuable for art educators but that they must be designed to maximize discipline-specific concerns and literacies. Implications for further research and practice are outlined.
