| Research Abstract |
The problems of -academic ability- in art education have progressed to examination of "capability" view after the dispute of academic ability on the 1990s. The background of that progression, there are "three elements of academic ability" with acquisitions of knowledge and skills shown in the "competency" as an evaluation framework of PISA and the School Education Law.
The competency that should be raised in art education leads up to the capability of symbiosis and communication. The way of understanding the "competency" in Japan is based on the both assumptions, the principle of competition of the U.S. style and the autonomy, symbiosis, and communication capability in PISA style. The both of them are considered as the "academic ability" based on "the power of living." Latter PISA type competency agrees also with the "Kansei (sensitivity)", appeared in the purpose of art education in the course of study. According to the result of this research, both Japanese and American consider that the role of "efforts" and "school education" is the most important to success in art study. Although it was said that American generally attached greater importance than to efforts to the talent, the American who mentioned the talent as a success factor of study was a small number. About the purpose of art education in school, American treasures the communication capability with visual culture besides enjoying activity of making arts, Japanese takes sensitivity, creativity, and enjoying activity as the most important issues of art study. This Japanese view might be influenced by the course of study.
"Kansei(sensitivity)" could integrate the three educational ideas, "the power of living", "academic ability", and "competency" into the one living field for children to study visual arts.
