The implication of discipline-based art education (DBAE) for studio-art instruction in Korean higher education

Jooyon Lee, University of Nebraska - Lincoln

Abstract

This study investigated the applicability of discipline-based art education (DBAE) and its implication of art instruction for studio-art majors in higher education in Korea. The study included the literature review on DBAE, its critics and advocates, Korean art and art education, Korean higher education, fine arts in Korean higher education and contemporary art in Korea. The purpose of the study was to examine the current Korean art program, to determine whether Korean art professors in the studio-art area perceive the four components of DBAE as useful and necessary to be implemented in Korea, and to examine the potential applicability of the four components of DBAE for art instruction for studio-art majors in Korea. The four components of DBAE are studio art (art production), art history, art criticism and aesthetics. The analysis of findings of the survey and interview provided Korean art professors' opinions on the current art curriculum, the characteristics of studio-art instruction in Korean higher education, the four components of DBAE, and the implication of DBAE in Korean higher education. The recommendations for future implementation or implication on DBAE in Korean higher education provided directions for development. Those are: (1) the art curriculum in Korean higher education should foster studio-art students' abilities to create works of art; (2) the current art curriculum in Korean higher education should be revised in order to implement the DBAE approach, (3) in-service or pre-service workshops and training programs for Korean art educators should be developed in Korean higher education; and, (4) basic and detailed research, model projects and advocacy efforts on DBAE for Korean higher art education are needed.
