27 SES 14 B, Emotions in Education
Symposium
Contribution
This presentation addresses the emotions evoked in educators, when they experiment with and apply arts-based tools to learning and facilitation in teaching situations. The arts-based tools have the potential of encompassing sensory, bodily, emotional and experiential learning processes in students, but they also affect the educators themselves in the same ways. This has strong, emotional consequences for the teachers, their teaching and their classes. We present original data from a qualitative action research study that describes an arts-based development project at a Danish University College. Empirically, the study is based on the educators’ documentation of own teaching experiments in formats of e.g. written statements, logs and practice narratives, audio-recorded group discussions and interviews, and photo-and video-documentation. The findings of the study were developed by means of a collaborative process between the educators and the university researchers. The methodology was action research-based practice-theory dialogue within a socio-cultural theoretical framework for analysis.
