SKYPE GROUP SESSION: AM

Well that was a very productive Skype session with Carla Mason, Kym Walton and Hannah Shepherd...We discussed: 

9:00am Carla Mason and Natalie Kirk: 

·        Ethical implications with contacting schools and student consent when Observing lessons

·        Interviews and Questionnaire procedure

·        Emailed our questions to each other and make suggestions on how to improve:

·        Carla: What effective teaching methods do you use for ages 5-10yrs?

·        Repeat the same question for ages 13 upwards?

·        Suggested she asked: "Teenagers are going developing into puberty from the age of around 12, what implications this has on their effectiveness on class? I suggested she looks at muscles, joints, mood swings, lack of energy, peer pressure etc...

·        Carla suggested that I change the question: “Dance and the Arts is currently very popular, do you think this will remain that way for the future? 

·        Carla advised: Do you see any foreseeable changes for the future in relation to the Arts within Education?

·        Whilst on the phone I received an email from Alan providing Feedback of Introduction and Analysis of Findings:

·        Change of Title from: "Does Arts have a larger or smaller role to play for Education for the future?"

·        Alan's Suggestion: Creativity in the Curriculum: What are the factors driving the debate on the inclusion of different art subjects in the UK National Curriculum?

·        Title we re-discussed: “An investigation into the Arts in the Uk Curriculum”
