5 aspect to create a sustainable, positive atmosphere in your classroom
Question 1
The role of Art Education and the outcomes of Quality Program
The critical outcomes which form the basis of our education system are broad, generic cross-curricular outcomes which adhere to Constitution and have been adopted by SAQA. These outcomes will ensure that learners gain skills, knowledge and values that will allow them to contribute to their own success as well as the success of their families and communities.
The key ideas that illustrate the importance of these outcomes include mastery of action such as:
Identifying and solving of problems
Working effectively with others
Organising and managing oneself
Collecting, analysing and critically evaluation of information
Communicate effectively
Being culturally and aesthetically sensitive
Developing entrepreneurial skills
These outcomes simply refer to specifications of what learns should be able to do at the end of the learning experience.
By being exposed to art, the child learns to develop the following skills:
Academic achievement
Involvement in the arts can help children actively engage in learning, understand the concepts being taught, develop deep understandings in whatever subject is being taught, and to express their understandings in different ways. Regular involvement in the arts develops the higher order skills of analysis, synthesis and evaluation, as well as critical-thinking, problem-solving and decision-making skills. Research also indicates that sustained quality engagement in the arts enhances children’s literacy and numeracy skills, especially those children from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Respect for themselves and others
Through involvement in quality arts programs, children are able to connect and empathise with others as they understand and appreciate their cultures, traditions and symbols. The arts are a way of changing children’s perceptions and stereotypes of people who are different from them as they are exposed to different societies and cultures
