Artistic and artisan knowledge & skills in the secondary school curriculum

This event has already taken place.

Thursday 28 August 2014

Professor Pat Drake, Dean, College of Education, invites you to participate in the 2014 Diamond Series.

Review of the pedagogical literature associated with secondary school syllabi clearly highlights a transition in content toward academic areas and away from the arts and technology domains.

This presentation will provide an overview of current international, national, and local perspectives associated with knowledge, skills, and practices in the area of artistic and artisan curriculum as focus in the education of young people.

Established ideas in place within Finnish high schools regarding the maintenance of specialist trade, technological, and creative teaching programs will be linked with newer developments in this field currently being operationalised across Africa. More localised consideration of this information will be targeted towards developing a school-based framework, as an adaptation of the specialist approach of the Maribyrnong Sports Academy, within the arts and technologies domain.

The presentation group includes College of Education staff:
