Publication details: Copenhaguen : Danish Arts Agency (Kunststyrelsen), 2006Description: 66 pOnline resources: Summary: The Danish Arts Council commissioned a review of arts education provisions and quality within Danish folkeskole. This report examines the connection between quality education and arts-rich education in Denmark. The research places the Danish system of arts education in the context of international research, which indicates that significant improvements in educational outcomes (especially in literacy) are achieved where embedded, arts-rich cultural education is in place. Under the terms of reference, the following questions guided the study: • What are the strengths and weaknesses of arts education for children between the ages of 5-15 years? • In relation to international indicators of quality arts education, which characteristics are apparent in Danish arts education and which areas need attention? • What recommendations, initiatives and strategies can be applied to improve arts education? To determine this, the report uses existing research, interviews and field case studies to conduct a correlation study examining the connection between arts and creativity related variables and educational quality within Denmark. The study was undertaken by an arts education expert and a policy implementation expert. It involved: - Examination of case studies from five selected schools from different areas and representing different levels of and contexts for arts education (based on teacher interviews); and, - Content analysis of legislative changes, policy and reforms in .folkeskole education and a brief review of historical development of arts-rich education in Denmark, including interviews with officials from ministries of culture, education as well as officials in contiguous organizations. In addition the research team met with NGOs, public service and government (local and national) representatives. Further interviews were conducted with personnel from key arts institutions and cultural services. The researchers also had a number of team meetings.
