STUDY OF ART EDUCATION PRINCIPLES OF VISUAL ARTS CURRICULUM IN THE SECOND LEVEL OF PRIMARY EDUCATION
Abstract :
The aim of this study is to define applicability of principles conducting “Visual Arts Curriculum” in the second level of primary education by making use of teachers’ views, and to present suggestions for the development of the curriculum. In the study, the researcher used the teachers’ ideas as well as content analysis. In terms of the education principles, the curriculum contains the ideal principles of Art Education. However, some reasons, such as crowded classes, insufficient class hours and lack of workshops in the schools and negative attitudes towards the subject, prevent the effectiveness of the curriculum. Main suggestions are to liberate the subject from the pressure of centrally administered examinations, increase the number class hours and organise pre-service and in-service training to provide consciousness of teachers towards the importance of art education.
