Preservice teachers are introduced to theoretical, philosophical, pragmatic and practical perspectives related to contemporary arts and design education for primary school students. These perspectives include an introduction to arts and design curriculum, planning and pedagogies that promote quality learning and teaching of the arts and design, with a focus on the areas of music, drama, dance, visual arts and media arts. Preservice teachers also consider how these arts and design areas can productively intersect with other subject areas for effective teaching and learning.
