Individual Reflection
According to Learning Unit 4 of LSKM 221:
1.Arts Integration, or teaching and learning practices that address many goals at once while also encouraging students to use the arts to demonstrate their understanding of topics and skills, is promoted.Arts integration is a teaching style that emphasizes active participation in teaching and learning activities, as well as experiential learning, realistic learning activities, collaboration, problem-solving skills, and reflection. If someone says art integration is a waste of time, I'll tell them they don't understand what it is or the benefits it gives, especially for children.I'd like to know what they think the definition of the term "Art integration" is, and if they could explain it to me. Art lessons help kids enhance motor skills, linguistic skills, social skills, decision-making, risk-taking, and creativity, and art integration helps students build creative problem-solving abilities. I don't see how it's a waste of time.
2.The theoretical framework for arts integration in the foundation phase was my favorite and most fascinating part of study unit 4. Because I had no clue that music could be studied in six distinct ways, it was fascinating to learn more about it and get additional knowledge on the subject.In study unit 4, I didn't find anything particularly tough. The study unit was well-written and easy to understand, and I am looking forward to learning more about art this semester.
