Outline of Final Research Achievements

Schools are experimenting with the practice of art education that approaches local and social issues. Many children's participation workshops related to exhibited works are held at art museums and local art festivals. However, no research has been conducted on the level of content development based on the structural problems of modern society. Therefore, it is necessary to reflect on whether the function of art, which is criticism of society, economy, and politics, has taken root in the context of art education. In this research, political art is defined as art that is tinged with criticism of society, economy, and politics that face contemporary issues. Then, from the context of citizenship education, we will try to redefine its significance in art education and clarify the possibilities in educational practice.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

美術教育学研究では、学校教育の背景にある教育政策や政治・経済状況への社会科学的・政策科学的な批判が必ずしも伴ってこなかった。本研究の特色として、領域横断性が挙げられる。それは第一に、美術教育学において、教育政策や政治・経済状況への社会科学的・政策科学的な批判を踏まえた上で、アートが持つ社会・政治・経済への批評性を再定義する試みである。第二に、ポリティカル・アートがもつ社会的文脈とプロジェクト型の方法の意義について、関連する社会科学や認知科学における基礎的知見を横断的に検討しつつ、同時代の美術教育の論理構築へ向けた研究を進める点である。
