The study was guided by theory and research highlighting the valuable role of overt student reflection to improve engagement in learning. Data collection methods included interviews, teacher observations, reflective journals, and audio/videotaped performance. Data analysis was iterative throughout the study, using both withinȬcase and crossȬcase sampling, but drawing heavily on selfȬreports as authentic representations of meaningȬmaking. The findings suggest that learning through the arts provides a vehicle for students to become actively engaged in the construction of their own learning  \nKeywords: arts learning, multiple intelligences, emotional engagement, aesthetics, classroom drama  \nL’auteur a mené une rechercheȬaction auprès d’élèves suivant des cours de littérature et de langue de niveau intermédiaire, son objectif étant d’étudier le processus decréation de sens chez des adolescents participant à un projet impliquant écriture et prestation. L’étude reposait sur des théories et des recherches mettant en relief le rôle clé des réflexions explicites des élèves dans l’amélioration de leur implication dans l’apprentissage. Plusieurs méthodes de collecte de données ont été utilisées : entrevues, observations des enseignants, journaux personnels et prestations enregistrées sur cassettes audio et bandes magnétoscopiques. Les données ont été analysées de façon répétée tout au long de la recherche à l’aide d’échantillons tirés del’étude elleȬmême que d’autres études de cas, mais surtout à partir des autoévaluations en tant que représentations authentiques du processus de création desens. Les résultats donnent à penser que l’apprentissage à travers les arts fournit aux élèves un moyen de s’impliquer activement dans leur propre apprentissage.  \nMots clés : apprentissage par les arts, intelligence multiple, implication émotionnelle, esthétique, mise en scène didactique.  \nThis study is guided by theory and research that suggests using the arts as a methodology for learning can provide a rich and emotionally  \nCANADIAN JOURNAL OF EDUCATION 28, 3 (2005): 359Ȭ383  \nstimulating learning context in which students become personally engaged in their work through exploration, active involvement, and engagement of their particular abilities (Eisner, 2002; Sylwester, 1995; Upitis & Smithrim, 2003; West, 2000; Witherell, 2000) . The study is further guided by my personal experiences and observations as an arts educator. These observations opened me to the belief that the arts contribute to classroom learning.  \nFor many years, as a teacher in the Newfoundland and Labrador school system, I produced musicals and rock operas with intermediate and highȬschool students. These experiences engaged the imagination of students, teachers, and the community alike. The learning that took place throughout the process and preparation of the productions occurred in numerous ways. Of course the participants trained and learned things specific to their own roles: actors learned acting techniques, musicians learned music, and artists learned to draw and paint. However, learning took place at much deeper levels. Students, teachers, and parents learned the importance of collaboration in creating a final product. We learned the power of reaching out to the community at large for solutions that did not lie within the walls of the school; we learned the importance of developing trusting relationships and of the necessity to be dependable; we learned that people whom we had known for a very long time had abilities that we had never suspected and that knowledge transformed not only how we perceived them, but how they came to perceive themselves; and we learned the potential of t","cbCaim1S1ILWoDqA","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaim1S1ILWoDqA","pdf",271472,25,"English","# Introduction\n# Purpose and Research Question\n# Theoretical Framework\n## Multiple Intelligences Theory\n## Emotional Engagement\n## Aesthetic Context of Learning\n# Data Collection and Analysis\n## Interviews and Observations\n## Reflective Journals and Performances","[{\"question\":\"What was the purpose of the action research study?\",\"answer\":\"To understand how intermediate adolescent students create meaning while exploring literature through arts-based experiences.\"},{\"question\":\"How were data collected during the study?\",\"answer\":\"Data came from interviews, teacher observations, reflective journals, and audio or videotaped performance work.\"},{\"question\":\"What do the findings suggest about arts-based learning?\",\"answer\":\"Arts learning provides a vehicle for students to become actively engaged in constructing their own learning, supported by meaningful reflection and engagement with their particular abilities.\"}]","Intermediate Students’ Experiences with an Arts Ȭ Based Unit: An Action Research | PDF",1792084702,63]
