Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

This text introduces readers to definitions and examples of arts-based educational research, presents tensions and questions in the field, and provides exercises for practice. It weaves together critical essays about arts-based research in the literary, visual, and performing arts with examples of artistic products of arts-based research (arts for scholarship¿s sake) that illuminate by example. Each artistic example is accompanied by a scholARTist¿s statement that includes reflection on how the work of art relates to the scholar¿s research interests and practices.

Arts-Based Research in Education: Foundations for Practice:

helps the reader understand what arts-based research is ¿ tracing the history of the field and providing examples; includes end-of-chapter questions to engage students in practicing arts-based inquiry and to generate class discussion about the material; features a diverse range of contributors -- very established scholars in educational and social science research as well those new to the field; represents a variety of voices ¿ scholars of color, queer and straight orientations, different ages, experience, and nationalities; and presents beautiful illustrations of visual art, data-based poems, plays, short stories, and musical scores.

First-of its kind, this volume is intended as a text for arts-based inquiry, qualitative research methods in education, and related courses, and as a resource for faculty, doctoral students, and scholars across the field of social science research methods.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

CHOICE Review

This volume is unusual because it is intended as a resource for faculty, doctoral students, and scholars interested in arts-based inquiry and qualitative research methods in education. Researchers Cahnmann-Taylor (Univ. of Georgia) and Siegesmund (art, Univ. of Georgia) believe that all work calls for analysis and inquiry. The work of Elliot Eisner and Tom Barone provides the foundation for this text, which utilizes current practices in arts-based research. One educational objective of this text is to improve the objective and perceptual skills, and the qualitative reasoning, of the "scholARTists." The authors examine the field of social science research methods in order to introduce readers to the tensions and questions in the field. Critical essays in the literary, visual, and performing arts are used as examples to illuminate the artistic products. The authors continue their inquiry by including questions at the end of each chapter for reflection. Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate, research, and professional collections. D. Pellegrino University of Scranton
