This proposition explores the potential of a pedagogy of affect as an arts- based research approach to museum education at the university level. Such an approach is predicated on a continuous movement of situated stories as the heart of the learning encounter, generated relationally between object-body-space, or artwork- learner-museum. As a forum for deliberation, the purpose of this conversation is to consider how emotions, as the basis for teaching with caring and sensory awareness, bring vitality, aliveness, and feelings to the fore. This conversation explores affective epiphanies sourced from personal practical knowledge as an expression of arts- research-in-progress. By drawing on autoethnographic life writing, I explore an alternate approach to three museum collections that demonstrate how and why the aesthetic relation of stories operate as pedagogic pivots in ways that reconfigure conventional museum engagement. Rethinking museum education with an arts research perspective is an effort to advance how context connects affective systems of knowing relationally, and why embracing stories offers new pathways to understand museum education through more expansive learning approaches, inclusive of feeling.

This paper reports on a process that is part of a research project conducted in the context of the class Arts-based research, offered within the Fine Arts degree, at the University of Barcelona. The trajectory followed in this learning experience led us to investigate the rationale and practice of a/r/tography. By using some of the characteristics of this research approach, an audiovisual narrative in video was developed. This paper gives an account of the authors’ role in this process, and relates to what extent a/r/tography as a process of inquiry contributed to the experience of silence in the university classes.

Resumen. Este artículo presenta una propuesta pedagógica y de investigación en estudios teatrales universitarios basada en el análisis teórico y en la experiencia física, intelectual y emocional de procesos creativos escénicos. A lo largo del mismo, veremos cómo la dificultad de los estudios teatrales para integrarse en el terreno científico y en la academia puede utilizarse para construir nuevas vías docentes y creativas, atendiendo a la especificidad del teatro, vivo y efímero por naturaleza. Transitaremos para ello el camino de la Investigación Basada en las Artes, la A/r/tografía (rama de la IBA) y las experiencias previas de Investigación Basada en el Teatro. Aunaremos una visión organicista y holística basada en la idea del arte como experiencia encarnada, y la aproximación a la investigación como un trabajo en proceso permanente. En cuanto a lo estético, primará una percepción transversal de lo escénico en el marco de las denominadas “teatralidades expandidas” ligadas al concepto de “performativo”. En una segunda fase, enlazaremos esta teoría con la descripción y el análisis de casos prácticos llevados a cabo en el Grado de Artes Escénicas de la Universitat de Girona (EU ERAM), para intentar valorar la eficacia de la propuesta, además de buscar ir asentando unos parámetros válidos para su evaluación.  Palabras clave: estudios universitarios de Artes Escénicas, Investigación Basada en las Artes, experiencia encarnada, A/r/tografía, performativo  Abstract. This article presents a pedagogical and research proposal in Performing Arts university studies based on theoretical analysis, and on physical, intellectual and emotional experience of scenic creative processes. Throughout it, we will see how the difficulty of Performing Arts studies to integrate into the scientific field and into the Academy can be used to build new educational and creative paths, taking into account the specificity of Theater, alive and ephemeral by nature. We will go through the path of Arts-Based Research, A / r / tography (branch of ABR) and previous experiences of Theater-Based Research. We will combine an organic and holistic vision based on the idea of art as an embodied experience, and the approach to research as a work in permanent process. As for the aesthetic, a transversal perception of theatre will prevail within the framework of the so-called “expanded theatricalities” linked to the concept of “performative”. In a second phase, we will link this theory with the description and analysis of practical cases carried out in the Degree of Performing Arts of the University of Girona (EU ERAM), to try to assess the effectiveness of the proposal, in addition to seeking to settle valid parameters for evaluation.  Keywords: Performing Arts university studies, Art-based Research, embodied experience, A/r/tography, performative   DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.7203/eari.10.14309

Initial Knowledge

First-year computer science (CS1) university students traditionally have difficulties understanding how to program. This paper describes research introducing CS1 students to programming concepts using a Scratch programming language guided visual execution environment (VEE). The concepts addressed are those from an introductory programming course (sequences, variables, operators, conditionals, loops, and events and parallelism). The VEE guides novice students through programming concepts, explaining and guiding interactive exercises executed in Scratch by using metaphors and serious games. The objective of this study is, firstly, to investigate if a cohort of 124 CS1 students, from three distinct groups, studying at the same university, are able to improve their programming skills guided by the VEE. Secondly, is the improvement different for various programming concepts? All the CS1 students were taught the module by the same tutor in four 2-h sessions (8 h), and a qualitative research approach was adopted. The results show students significantly improved their programming knowledge, and this improvement is significant for all the programming concepts, although greater for certain concepts such as operators, conditionals, and loops than others. It also shows that students lacked initial knowledge of events and parallelism, though most had used Scratch during their high school years. The sequence concept was the most popular concept known to them. A collateral finding in this study is how the students’ previous knowledge and learning gaps affected grades they required to access and begin study at the university level.

Performance As Research

Purpose – The purpose this paper is to consider festivals as sites for inquiry and learning. Design/methodology/approach – The research employed a pluralistic approach to the inquiry drawing on critical African-centred pedagogy, participatory action research, and performance as research inquiry. These arts-based research methods allowed insights to be gained in ways that were congruent to the arts and participants who enacted them. In total, 12 young people and six elders of diverse African heritage as well as two artists were participants in the research. Findings – The research revealed that the festival as a research methodology was both dialogic and performative and a rich site for the exploration of identity negotiation. Through these arts-based approaches the aesthetic elements often missed by traditional social science methods were highlighted as key in exploring acculturation socialistaion experiences and deconstructing exclusionist discourses emanating from the dominant culture. Research limitations/implications – The research affirmed the power of multi-modal approaches to research and the importance of evocative discourses in identity exploration and development. Originality/value – This research is the first known attempt to theorise an arts-based festival as a research approach in reference to enculturation and cultural memory.

Thai Buddhist meditation practice tradition has its long history since the Sukhothai Kingdom about 18th B.E., until the present day at 26th B.E. in the Kingdom of Thailand. In history there were many well-known Buddhist meditation master teachers, i.e., SomdejPhraBhudhajaraya (To Bhramarangsi), Phraajarn Mun Puritatto, Luang Phor Sodh Chantasalo, PhramahaChodok Yanasitthi, and Buddhadasabhikkhu, etc. Buddhist meditation practice is generally regarded by Thai Buddhists to be a higher state of doing a good deed than doing a good deed by offering things to Buddhist monks even to the Buddha. Thai Buddhists believe that practicing Buddhist meditation can help them to have mindfulness, peacefulness in their own lives and to finally obtain Nibbana that is the ultimate goal of Buddhism. The present article aims to briefly review history, and movement of Thai Buddhist Meditation Practice Tradition and to take a case study of students’ Buddhist meditation practice research at the university level as an example of the movement of Buddhist meditation practice tradition in Thailand in the present.

This research is based on learning in tertiary institutions which requires more active, independent and creative learners. of the importance of using appropriate learning methods in mathematics learning at the university level. SCAMPER is a technique that can be used to spark creativity and help overcome challenges that might be encountered in the form of a list of general goals with ideas spurring questions. This research aims to develop students' problem solving skills using the SCAMPER method in terms of student motivation. The population in this study were all semester V students of mathematics education study programs, which were also the research samples. From the analysis of the data it was found that the SCAMPER method was better in developing students' problem solving abilities with an average increase of 0.52 compared to conventional methods with an average increase of 0.45. In addition there is a difference between improving students' problem solving abilities when viewed from their motivation. But there is no interaction between motivational factors and learning methods.

For Iraqi EFL learners who are studying English pronunciation in a traditional instruction method often requires more effort and hard work. Thus, using new methods of teaching such as the flipped classroom model (FCM) is necessary to facilitate learning and improve performance. Hence, this study reports on explanatory research that investigates the effect of using the FCM in the teaching of English pronunciation for Iraqi EFL learners at the university level. The study implemented mixed research methods for data collection in a quasi-experimental analysis. Therefore, two tests were conducted on the assigned groups to measure the effect of the FCM before and after the intervention. Besides, a questionnaire and interviews were used on the experiment group students to collect data about their perceptions of the FCM. The study length (lasted)  was 15 weeks and is comprised of 60 students from the department of English, College of Arts at the University of Anbar. The students were divided into two groups, experimental, and control with 30 students in each group. The findings revealed that there was a significant statistical difference between the two groups in favour of the experimental group with better performance, indicating that the FCM has considerably assisted the Iraqi EFL learners to improve their English pronunciation. Moreover, the students expressed their positive feedback and satisfaction on the use of the FCM in their responses to the questionnaire and the interviews. As such, the current study recommends further research to study the effect of applying the FCM in areas and disciplines other than language learning.
