The assessment criteria for “The
Enquiring Mind: Creative Approaches” is a reflective journal on five of the key
areas studied throughout the module; the journal will be submitted in blog
format. As well as exploring each of the key areas in depth, this blog will
also discuss their relevance to 21st Century Learning; how do they
link to the pupil’s enquiry and learning? The five areas, chosen by myself, to
research further are:
- The Art vs Science Debate which discusses
the connection between the two subject and how the two should be taught
linearly in order to exhort the greatest potential from our learners.
- The Leonardo Effect a curriculum design that
focuses on a pupil lead learning experience derived from the child like
methodology of Leonardo da Vinci.
- Mantle of the Expert a method created by
Dorothy Heathcote that encourages children to combine drama with their
learning by becoming 'experts' in fields relating to their topic.
- Creative Partnerships are participatory
education projects that bring together school children and creative agents
to encourage expression through the arts.
- Creative Play develops a child's imagination
through the arts to develop confidence and self-esteem.
For ease while pursuing this blog
