Outline of Final Research Achievements

To design an educational method to support art majors' development of artistic expertise, we investigated how art majors and artists develop artistic expertise. Although the initial plan had to be drastically changed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we conducted the following studies: (1) On/off-site observation of professional training programs and workshops by expert artists with art students; (2) Interview surveys with art majors about how they experience difficulties in creative activities; (3) A psychological experiment of art making; (4) Case studies of breakdancers, etc.
We examined how artists in different stages of expertise in diverse art fields have developed their expertise and what kind of expertise they are trying to acquire.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究の成果は、芸術領域のプロフェッショナルによる創造、すなわちPro Cの解明とその獲得過程の教育への応用に留まらず、学習や熟達などの関連する心理学の諸理論に対しても重要な示唆を与えるものである。さらに本研究は、芸術領域の専門家養成課程における教育的介入や支援方法の開発に留まらず、STEAM教育（Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics）によって、学問領域を横断するような思考力、表現力、発想力を培い、児童・生徒・学生らが様々な課題に創造的に取り組む力を養うことを目指す、一般の学校現場等への応用も期待される。
