 d)   Parallel  Teaching:    

This  course  is  not  articulated  with  another  course  in  the  same  timeframe.    e)     i)  Subject  Synopsis  

Research  is  broadly  conceived  in  this  subject  as  a  pattern  of  practices  in  which  the  major  agencies   which   contribute   to   the   research   process   are   perceived   as   a   mutually  dependent   relation.   This   course   introduces   students   to   the   agencies   of   investigative  practice    in  the  humanities  and  social  sciences  and  to  an  understanding  of  their  role  in  the  validation,  analysis  and  interpretation  of  content  within  the  domains  of  art,  design

and  education.  While  practices  of   research   in  art,  design  and  education  vary  widely   in  the  their  instrumental  and  political  significance  it  is  nevertheless  the  goal  of  this  subject  to   enable   students,   through   the   analysis   of   exemplars   of   research,   to   rehearse   these  practices  in  a  manner  consistent  with  an  apprenticeship  model  of  learning.  In  particular  students   will   be   able   to   integrate   and   apply   systematically   key   agencies   of   research  practice   in   art,   design   and   education   including   -­‐   the   role   of   explanatory   theory,   the  functional   stance   of   the   researcher,   the   constraints   imposed   by   art   as   the   object   of  investigation,  the  use  of  nomothetic  and  ideographic  methods,  and  the  conventions  of  proposal  writing.  

  ii)  Course  Aims:    The  aim  of   this   course   is   to  enable   students   to  gain  an   introductory  understanding  of  research  practices  in  the  visual  arts,  design  and  education.  In  particular  the  course  aims  to  broaden   student’s   conception  of   the  conventions  of   research  practice   in  art  design  and  education,  and  to  assure  student’s  understanding  of  key  methods  of   investigation  applied  within  the  humanities  and  human  sciences.  

f)   Relationship  to  other  courses    Practices  or  Research   in   two   forms,  one  version   is  a  post-­‐graduate  course,   SAED9002,  and   the  other  version   is   an  undergraduate   course,   SAED  4051  which   is   articulated   for  Fine   Arts,   Design   and   Media   Honours   students,   as   well   as   for   students   enrolled   in  undergraduate  Art  and  Design  Education  degrees.    

g)   Student  learning  outcomes  :  • Identify   key   agencies   of   research   and   characterize   their   role   in   selected,  

published  examples  of  research  in  art,  design  or  education;  • Conduct  a  functional  analysis  or  the  practice  underlying  a  published  example  of  

art,  design  or  educational  research;  • Assess   the   functional   coherence  of  practice  underlying  a  published  example  of  

art,  design  or  educational  research;  • Innovate  a  proposal  amending  the  practice  which  underlies  a  published  example  

of  art,  design  or  educational  research;  • Critically   justify   a   proposal   amending   the   practice   underlying   a   published  

example  of  art,  design  or  educational  research;  • Demonstrate   an   understanding   of   key  methods   of   nomothetic   and   idiographic  

research  in  the  humanities  and  social  sciences.

Activities  /  Assessment  

 

Disciplinary  knowledge   3   This  course  principally  addresses  the  assumptions  that  underpin  approaches  to  defining  and  evaluating  art  and  design  practice.  It  also  explores  the  nature  of  research  and  academic  enquiry  in  an  interdisciplinary  context.  In-­‐class  reading  exercises  and  written  assignments  develop  student’s  reflective  and  critical  understanding  of  research  into  art,  design  and  education.  

Communication  skills   3   Written  assignments,  practical  skills  in  class  using  verbal  and  visual  modes  of  communication  encourage  student’s  capacity  for  independent  and  reflexive  learning  and  creative  problem  solving.  

Technical  skills   1   Some  use  of  specialist  research  resources  and  online  databases  is  required.  

Critical  thinking   3   Class  activities  and  assignments  are  based  on  close  reading  of  critical  literature,  validation  and  assessment  of  literature,  and  written  assignments  to    develop  student’s  skills  in  scholarly  enquiry.  

Group  skills   2   Class  activities  are  based  on  discussion  and  collaboration  within  small  groups.  Students  are  encouraged  to  develop  connections  between  the  ideas  and  practices  in  the  course  and  their  own  practices  in  art,  design  and  education.  

Social  awareness   2   Course  material  and  structured  discussion  encourages  students  to  develop  a  critical  and  reflexive  understanding  of  the  social  context  for  the  research  and  practice  of  art,  design  and  education.

UNSW • COFA • SAED 4051 • Practices of Research in Art, Design, and Education Page 7/21

Ethical  understanding   2   Course  material  addresses  ethical  issues  of  research  practice  and  strategies  for  conducting  ethical  research  in  art,  design  and  education.  

Information  Literacy   3   Students  are  exposed  to  a  variety  of  information  sources  from  course  readings  to  art  exhibitions.  They  are  encouraged  to  appreciate  the  objects  and  practices  connected  with  art  and  design  as  complex  sources  of  information.    

Entrepreneurial  skills   2   Students  are  encouraged  to  develop  initiative  and  imagination  in  applying  intellectual    skills  and  ideas  to  articulating  their  practice  and  communicating  with  others.  

 i)   Approach  to  learning  and  teaching      

As   convenors,   our   role   is   to   facilitate     a   flexible,   dynamic   and   responsive   learning  environment  for  all  participants.  Classes  are  structured  enough  to  ensure  a  balance  of  information  delivery  as  well   as  ensuring  a   student   centred  approach   to  engaging  with  the   course  material   critically   and   creatively.  A  productive   and   collaborative   classroom  environment  allows  students  to  develop  a  sound  contextual  appreciation  for  their  ideas  and  their  practice,  as  well  as  enhancing  their  capacity  for  critical  and  cultural  agency  in  negotiating  the  social  context  in  which  they  operate.  

 Teaching  Strategies    This  course  has  a  mixture  of  undergraduate  students  in  Art  Education  and  postgraduate  students   from   fine   Arts   and   Design.   The   presentation   of   the   course   will   be   more  reflective  of  an  interdisciplinary  practice  led  approach  to  research.    We   use   a   combination   of   approaches   to   enhance   the   interdisciplinary   learning  environment:    • Verbal  delivery  of  lecture  material  and  presentation  of  visual  summaries  and  notes.  

Lectures  are  structured  to  provide  an  overview  of  the  key  ideas,  and  allow  student  responses  and  questions.    

 • Practical  Exercises  conducted  in  class:  Programmed  in-­‐class  activities  utilize  a  variety  

of   verbal,   visual   and   kinesthetic   approaches   to   understanding   and   communicating  the   ideas   contained   in   the   course,   and   allows   students   to   articulate   and   build   on  their   existing   levels   of   knowledge   in   art   and   design,   forming   links   between   their  experience  and  the  ideas  presented  in  the  course.

• Variety:  As  well  as  guest  lectures,  classes  will  include  visits  to  research  sites  such  as  the  libraries,  studios  and  art  galleries,  and  students  will  be  encouraged  to  appreciate  a  variety  of  physical  sites  and  contexts  for  research  into  art,  design  and  education.  

 • Small   group   work,   emphasizes   collaboration   and   communication   skills   among  

students,   and   provides   a   structured   environment   for   critical   reflection   and  communication.  

 • Reading  Seminars    and  discussions  of  course  material.  The   level  of  critical   thinking  

required   in   this  course   is  quite  high,  and  students  will  be   introduced  to  a  range  of  strategies   to   understanding,   applying   and   communicating   theoretical   ideas   and  approaches  to  their  practice  in  art  and  design.

ACADEMIC  HONESTY  AND  PLAGIARISM  

 

What  is  Plagiarism?    Plagiarism  is  taking  the  ideas  or  words  of  others  and  passing  them  off  as  your  own.  Plagiarism  is  a  type  of  intellectual  theft.  

Plagiarism  can  take  many  forms,  from  deliberate  cheating  to  accidentally  copying  from  a  source  without  acknowledgement.  Plagiarism  can  have  serious  consequences,  so  it  is  important  that  students  be  aware  of  what  it  is,  and  how  to  avoid  it.  

It  is  also  plagiarism  to  claim  credit  for  a  proportion  a  work  contributed  to  a  group  assessment  item  that  is  greater  than  that  actually  contributed,  to  submit  an  assessment  item  that  has  already  been  submitted  for  academic  credit  elsewhere,  or  to  knowingly  permit  your  work  to  be  copied  by  another  student.  

There  are  very  serious  penalties  for  plagiarism,  ranging  from  re-­‐submission,  reduction  of  marks

Each student will make a 5-10 minutes presentation explaining which art object, publication or design object they have selected for analysis and introduce the group to a key aspect/ idea/ outcome of the analysis being undertaken. Group members will complete a short Peer Review Analysis Report (submitted to lecturer) and offer verbal feedback to the presenter. ASSESSMENT TASK 2: RESEARCH ANALYSIS Due: Assignment 2 | 2000 Words | 40% Analyse the research practices of a contemporary or modern visual artwork or arts publication and use Neil Brown's article “Paradox & Imputation In Explanation Of Practical Innovation In Design,” Conference Proceedings: Speculation and Innovation (Kelvin Grove: Queensland University of Technology, 2005) in Course Reader to critique and evaluate this practice. You may wish to choose an artwork, or work of design or cinema, an exhibition, a catalogue or arts publication. Your analysis needs provide a critical account of the success and flaws of the work. You will need to reference, and demonstrate, your understanding of Neil Brown’s analysis model. ASSESSMENT TASK 3: GRANT OR PROJECT APPLICATION Due: Assignment 3 | 2000 Words | 40% For this assignment you need to identify a funding program or project proposal for which you will prepare a ‘mock’ application. If you are a SAED4051 student, intending to undertake Honours, for this task you will submit your Honours project proposal. Students are encouraged to use ‘real’ application forms where possible. For example, your proposal could be for an exhibition, new work funding or promotional assistance. Possible funding agencies and programs will be discussed in class.
