How Arts Education Makes a Difference

Drawing on the findings of a longitudinal quantitative study led by the internationally renowned educational psychologist Andrew Martin, the book examines the impact of arts involvement in the academic outcomes of students and how it makes a difference in their lives. It reports on the in-depth qualitative research that investigates what constitutes best-practice in learning and teaching in the Arts. It also examines drama, dance, music, visual arts and film classrooms to construct an understanding of quality pedagogy in these classrooms.
