Generalist Teachers

This article discusses a case study that investigated preservice generalist teachers in a visual and performing arts methods class. It was revealed that three themes reoccurred throughout this course that centred on children of low socio-economic status. These themes included reaching the Title I students, connecting through cultural awareness and critical awareness through the arts. The significance and implications of these themes demonstrate there is a need for art education methods courses to explicitly address these issues and provide avenues for preservice generalists to enhance the learning of their future students.

Innovative since its inception, the ACS Honors Humanities program has a long history of more than 40 years as an interdisciplinary team-taught course that examines essential questions through literature, visual and performing arts, philosophy and history.  This innovative approach has continued to motivate successive teaching teams to modify and enhance a program that challenges students academically, utilizing the best possible resources and taking advantage of new technology. In this article, we present one in-depth case study where we explain how we transformed the Honors Humanities course from Face To Face to i2Flex. We will describe and present examples of how we redesigned the course format and presentation, learning activities and assessment. We present data on student feedback and our findings regarding the benefits and challenges of adopting the i2Flex methodology for this course.

Concrete World

ABSTRACTThe Festivals of Moors and Christians represents a unique and concrete world that crosses both the history and geography of Spain and its social, political and economic configurations. Historically, they have had a pedagogical sense and, for that reason, they present the complexity of different events, elements, objects and actors that compose it as contrasting elements (assimilation of nationalism and regionalisms or the eternal Hispanic struggle between good and evil), making everything appear normal, exerting a power that few celebrations hold. These chameleonic feasts have adapted to different historical moments and, with the coming of postmodernity, have opened their gates to a colorful game of fantasy where visual and performing arts have become of the utmost importance.

The Relationship

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to describe and understand dimensions of cultural activity involvement and the relationship between cultural activity involvement and behavioural loyalty. Design/methodology/approach – Semi-structured in-depth interviews with 47 customers of a theatre were held. Findings – The study shows that the concept of cultural activity involvement consists of six dimensions: attraction, centrality, self-expression, social bonding, cultural transmission and financial contribution. Three customer segments are taken into consideration according behavioural loyalty levels: incidental spectators, interested participants and the core audience. There are large differences between the three customer segments regarding cultural activity involvement. Research limitations/implications – Introspection might have decreased the reliability. As the study is a case study, problems with external validity are recognised. Practical implications – Given the decline of subsidies in the arts world, it becomes more important to attract more visitors and to increase spending. Performing arts organisations might attract more visitors in case they provide additional services which enable cultural transmission. Moreover, the study shows that certain visitors are willing to contribute additional money to the arts. Originality/value – Current studies about leisure involvement focus on recreation and distinguish four dimensions of involvement. This study focuses on cultural activity involvement and explores these four dimensions, but also shows there are two new dimensions. This study contributes to a further understanding of the relationship between cultural activity involvement and behavioural loyalty.

Introduction: Past research has demonstrated the positive effects of visual and performing arts on health professionals’ observational acuity and associated diagnostic skills, well-being, and professional identity. However, to date, the use of arts for the development of non-technical skills, such as teamwork and communication has not been studied thoroughly. Methods: In partnership with a community print and media arts organization, Centre[3], we utilized a phenomenological approach to explore front-line mental health and social service workers’ experiences with a creative professional development workshop based on the visual and performing arts. Through pre- and post-workshop interviews with participants and post-workshop interviews with their managers, we sought to examine how participants’ perceptions of the workshop compared to their pre-workshop expectations, specific impacts of the workshop with respect to participants’ teamwork and communication skills, and changes in their perceptions regarding the use of the arts in professional development. Results: Our workshops were successful in enhancing teamwork skills among participants and showed promise in the development of communication skills, though observable changes in workplace communication could not be confirmed. The workshop facilitated teamwork and collegiality between colleagues, creating a more enjoyable and accepting work environment. The workshops also helped participants identify the strengths and weaknesses of their communication skills, made them more comfortable with different communication styles, and provided them with strategies to enhance their communication skills. Conclusions: Participation in the arts can be beneficial for the development of interpersonal skills such as teamwork and communication among health professionals.

Background: In healthcare, interpersonal skills such as teamwork and communication are essential for safe, high-quality, person-centered care. Methods: Four reference databases were searched using relevant keyword combinations in order to examine how the visual and performing arts have been used to facilitate the development of teamwork and communication skills among health professionals and what the outcomes were. Reference list checking was also conducted in order to identify other relevant articles not captured in the initial search strategy. Results: Many of the studies that we reviewed revealed that after participation in the arts, participants felt positively about the experience, had a greater awareness of the importance of teamwork and communication skills in their professional practice, and reported general improvements in these skills. Conclusions: While the initial results of this review seem promising, a concerted effort to conduct more methodologically sound studies on various art forms and their effect on the development of health professionals’ interpersonal skills is required.
