Arts integration

Arts integration is not a waste of time in Foundation phase Education, because it supports learners academic achievements and socialisation. Arts integration provides the opportunity for teachers to promote and support the developmental needs of learners. Arts integration offers learners opportunity to engage in teaching and learning activities that are inclusive and fun, and it promotes learners creativity and abilities to imagine. It accommodates various learning styles and preference. Collaborative skills are practiced. 

 

Foundation phase learners are able to demonstrate their understanding through arts. Foundation phase learners develop problem solving and critical thinking skills through engagement in genuine learning activities. 

 

Arts integration can lead to transformative experience for both teachers and learners while being creative and imaginative capacities of the teachers and learners alike. 

 

I find Development through teaching and learning interesting, because we learn and teach everything about music, we learn and teach through,from, in, on, with music. Learners learn while listening to music, using instrument and dancing to the music. Musical concepts are experienced and learned. 

 

• The value of arts integration I find it challenging, because I cant understand how mathematics and arts integration link together as they says that learners mathematics performance improved because of arts integration.
