Synopsis
This unit is sequential to Curriculum Studies - Arts A and will allow
students to expand their knowledge of curriculum documents for both
Visual Art and Music in the Primary School. The specific concepts and
skills appropriate to Art and Music will be investigated in separate
modules. However methods of integrated learning between discipline
areas will be investigated and students will be encouraged to
investigate teaching methodology appropriate for upper primary and
junior high school programmes.
Students will be challenged to consider implications for Arts
education through discussion of current curriculum documents that
point to global awareness and developing contextual pedagogies
throughout the total learning environments in schools.
