Research Projects
Evaluation of School Based Arts Programs
Project Director: Ms Jennifer Bryce
This project is an outcome from the Cultural Ministers Council of August 2000, which noted a need for all governments to be pro-active in strengthening the relationship between education and the arts.
The project involves an evaluation of specified school-based arts education programs to assess the impact of arts education on the learning outcomes for participating students, including students of indigenous, disadvantaged and at-risk backgrounds. This includes a review of existing national and overseas research on the effects of arts education on student achievement.
