Arts-Based and Community-Based Participatory Research Approaches (4cr)

Objective

Student will be able to use and combine arts-based and community-based methods and practice as research in the arts to his/her thesis and understands a specific nature of such methods in the field of academic research.

Content

Introduction to a variety of arts-based and community-based research approaches of art education, applied visual arts and design.

Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1)

Participation in the course is very low. Performance is narrow, superficial, or poorly matched to as-signment. The performance is limited to listing things of arts-based and community-based research strategies and methods in isolation, or dealing with things unilaterally. Execution may contain errors or ambiguities.

Assessment criteria, good (3)

Participation in the course is regular. Performance corresponds to assignment, demonstrates under-standing and the ability to analyze and justify. The whole picture of arts-based and community-based research strategies has been formed, but there may be shortcomings.

Assessment criteria, excellent (5)

Participation in the course is active. The performance outlines a broad entity and the knowledge of arts-based and community-based research strategies and methods can be applied multidimensionally or placed in different contexts. Performance demonstrates independent grip and insight. Performance is an intact entity that includes justified self-thinking or critical reflection. The essay is well written.

Execution methods

Lectures and exercises 28 hours, independent work 80 hours. HYBRID 3
Teaching is delivered face-to-face and online, and in addition to real-time
participation, it is possible to access the teaching sessions later by viewing video
recordings of them. Teaching is, thus, a combination of synchronous and
asynchronous activities. Teaching is delivered according to a pre-determined,
published schedule, but in addition to real-time participation, the student has the
option to learn the content covered at the real-time teaching.

Accomplishment methods

Active participation to the lectures, successful completion of assignments
