Generic or subject-specific? A survey comparing Dutch secondary school visual art teachers’ early-career experiences to teacher experiences in non-arts subjects
This study compared visual art teachers’ experiences of generic early-career professional identity dilemmas with experiences of dilemmas arising from subject-specific concerns. In turn, their experience of generic dilemmas was compared with experiences of non-arts teachers, as found in literature. Results show, on average, art teachers experienced considerably more dilemmas than non-arts teachers. No conclusive evidence was found for more frequen…
The Arts Classroom
Research on arts education generally focuses on either the teacher (Bremmer et al. 2020) or the arts (Heijnen 2015).

In order to answer this question, we used…

This article describes the way solicited logbooks were used in a research project on arts education in elementary schools. Schoolteachers who were trained by arts educators kept a log during their training program. This article describe…
