9/8/2023 0 Comments Studio habits of mind artAttendance was significantly higher on days the artists visited absences were reduced by 10 percent. School engagement was measured by comparing attendance on days with and without scheduled arts lessons. Teaching artists visited each class weekly for 28 weeks, co-teaching theater and dance lessons with the teacher. Many of the children attending these schools spoke a language other than English at home. In this article, we look at the impact of an arts integration program offered at five large urban elementary schools on the daily attendance and oral language skills of children in kindergarten through second grade. The study’s findings and their implications for future research and practice concluded this study. The wide variety of professional development experiences was noted and the high degree to which the professional development experiences were found to be beneficial was extensive. Conditions that supported and eroded a sense of teacher self-efficacy were examined and the effects reviewed. Surprisingly, prior arts experiences showed little to no significant correlation. A high degree of correlation was found between the following: studio habits and the teacher self-efficacy factors that impacted teachers’ decisions to attend an arts professional development and between the total number of professional development hours and arts integration. The study utilized four aspects of the work on studio habits: observe, envision, explore, and reflect (Hetland, Winner, Veenema, & Sheridan, 2007, 2013). They push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.Ii Allison Kleinsteuber DecemEducational Leadership THE IMPACT OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE ARTS UPON HABITS OF MIND AND TEACHER EFFICACY Abstract This study employed a concurrent exploratory mixed-methods approach to discern the impact professional development in the arts had upon habits of mind and teacher self-efficacy. “Here’s to the ones who see things differently. *I can create art inspired by other culture’s art. *I can interact as an artist with other artists. *I can learn from other artists by looking closely at their art. Learning about art history, see how contemporary artists make art, understand the roles of artists, galleries and museums. *I can experiment with new materials and ideas. *I can use mistakes as an opportunity to learn. Trying things that might be difficult and discovering new ideas and ways of working. *I can look back and make changes and additions to my work *I can think about new things I discovered… Looking back on the work you have done (may include talking and writing).Īsk yourself: What’s working and why? What’s not working? Why not? What can I add? What can I change? How can I challenge myself further? *I can look closely at the world around me. *I can learn from other artist by looking closely at their art. I can do this because I observe objects closely for details *I can identify shapes in objects and draw them *I can observe objects closely and draw what I see. Taking time to notice details in your environment through sight, touch, taste, sound and smell. Your expression changes with your choice of: Ideas, Media, and Techniques. Learning to create works that convey an idea, feeling, or personal meaning. *I can design and imagine what I hope to make. Ask yourself: what will my art be about? What materials will I use? How big will it be? How long will it take? Picture ideas in your head plan the next steps in your mind as you work. *I can create art from sketch to final piece *I can improve my existing skills and techniquesįocus on your work and stick with it, even when it gets hard. *I can practice new art skills and techniques Learning to organize and care for your art materials, tools, and art making space. Seeing connections between your art and the work of others. Improving your art skills through practice. Middle school students will be using a rubric of the studio habits to reflect on their strengths as artists and look for ways to improve their practice. I will be introducing the habits to the Synergy artists one at a time throughout the year. By introducing the habits into the art room, students become more mindful about their practice. The research breaks down artistic practice into eight studio habits. Sheridan with Harvard’s “Project Zero” (an organization focused on studying and improving arts education) identified The Studio Habits of Mind. Over a decade ago, researchers Lois Hetland, Ellen Winner, Shirley Veenema and Kimberly M.
