An Exploration of Quality in Visual Art Teaching of the International Baccalaureate Diploma Visual Arts Program within International Schools
THANK YOU for participating in my research study entitled An Exploration of Quality in Visual Art Teaching of the International Baccalaureate Diploma (IB DP ) Visual Arts (VA) Program within International Schools. The purpose of the research is to gain a better understanding of quality; defining, encouraging and supporting it within the teaching of Visual Arts in the International Baccalaureate’s Diploma program in International Schools. The results of this study will inform recommendations for IB DP VA teacher professional development.
A secondary purpose of the research is to collect data to inform a work of Research-Creation which will be a creative fictional work of writing (novella). The intention, is to allow for this work to evolve through the culminating research, collected data, combined with the principal researchers own creative self-reflections. Relevant to this form, is that the work of Research Creation will not include an identifying characteristics to the participants in the study.
The research question for this study asks what does the principal researcher need to know in order to create recommendations to support professional development that encourages quality for IB DP VA teachers within the IB DP VA classroom.
PURPOSE:
As an IB DP VA teacher currently teaching the IB DP VA course within International schools, you have relevant, critical and important perspectives about defining, encouraging and supporting the pursuit of quality within your IB DP VA classroom. As principal researcher, I am most grateful for those of you who were willing to share your thoughts and experiences as an IB DP VA teacher by completing an online survey and participating in either a series of individual interviews as your perspective as an IB DP VA teacher is integral to my research.
