Abstract:
The 1978 Aspen Conference - out of which this book grew - included participants from research on teaching: music and art professors from schools of teacher education; practicing public-school music and art teachers; and representatives from government. The questions that guided their discussions were:
- What are the relationships between the body of general research on teaching and the teaching process in the arts and aesthetics?
- Can methodologies and findings from research on teaching be useful to the teacher in the arts?
- Are there new or already existing ways of linking the teacher and the researcher to improve the instructional process in the arts or aesthetics?
- What does the teacher in the arts expect from research?
- What do the arts contribute to the teaching process?
The papers delivered at the conference, the responses made to them, and the discussions they both generated represent the interaction of the participants and these questions. (p. 1, 2)
