Vad vill man ens lära sig?
Det här arbetet handlar om hur elever tillåtas undersöka sitt lärande i skolan. Hur man synliggör den kunskapen som elever har skaffat sig. Med ett processbaserat lärande, deleuziansk affektperspektiv och kunskapsteori ramas ett undersökande in där elevers vilja får styra och elever och lärare gemensamt lägger en grund för vilka kunskaper som ska belysas utan att lärarens förförståelse dikterar villkor. Genom ett undersökande i skolan tillsammans med nio gymnasieelever utvecklas också ett en egen fråga som rör vad ett forskande slutarbete kan vara, hur det kan gestaltas och läsas.

What do you even want to learn?
This work is about how students are allowed to examine their learning in school. How to make the knowledge that students have acquired visible. With a process-based learning, Deleuzian affect perspective and epistemological theory, a framework is made for a research in which students' will is allowed to govern and where students and teacher can together lay a foundation for which knowledges can be understood without the teacher's pre-understanding dictating conditions. Through the research, which is made together with nine high school students, a separate question is also developed, asking what a final-project-research can be, how it can be written and read.

Teaching jazz double bass in the 21st century
(2020)
author(s): Tony Overwater
published in: KC Research Portal
My initial plan was to do research and catalogue the available existing method books for Jazz bass education. But during the process I realized that matters were more complex than I had foreseen. Jazz (bass) methods were often based on classical music methods but Jazz education demands a different skillset and approach. I reexamined the fundamental building blocks necessary to successfully teach Jazz double bass. For this I designed a graphic theoretical framework that helped me analyze the existing methods. With this information I built a data base and webpage that offers analytical information about the available methods. Methods not limited to the traditional books but also on line learning programs and other methodical teaching material. Furthermore I examined the influence of the technological developments that the computer, smartphones, tablets and the internet have to offer. Teaching Jazz in the 21st century has proven to be much more of a modulair approach than the traditional linear approach.
MEMORY AS A METHOD FOR FILMMAKING
(2019)
author(s): Emilio Angel Reyes Bassail
published in: Journal for Artistic Research
This research develops a method for filmmaking that uses autobiographical memory as a guiding principle for the production of images. The proposed method comes as the result of a double gesture in which I wanted to a) acquire a subjective understanding of memory that came from artistic practice; and b) materialize the process of memory through film.
I used the filmmaking apparatus as a technique to give visibility to the process of remembering and forgetting: I worked with strategies such as the elaboration of a “memory diary”; the drawing of spoken portraits and locations based on memories; casting techniques which involved a dialectical approach towards memory; scouting trips to find places from my memory; hypnosis sessions as a technique to recover lost memories; reenactments of memories; a method to direct actors that relied on memory as a guiding mechanism; and the editing of the footage through a process of memory associations.
While doing this research, I inadvertently found that the techniques I used led to a process in which memories were rewritten through experimentation. Thus, the method produced a conceptualization of "memory" that frames it as a creative process. In the process of working on this project, I developed a very subjective approach to the craft of filmmaking that was informed by my particular relationship with memory. Thus, the proposed method of using personal memory as a core mechanism for the production of audio-visual products can be utilized as a tool for film education, promoting the creation of personal film languages based on an individual's memory, and as device to reflect on the subjective process behind an individual's artistic practice.

Violin education in middle childhood
(2017)
author(s): Koosje van Haeringen
published in: KC Research Portal
Abstract
Title of Research:
Violin education in middle childhood.
Research Question:
How can an optimal musical and violinistic development be achieved in the teaching of children in middle childhood?
Summary of Results:
In middle childhood (7-11/12 years) enter a new phase in the development of their cognitive functions, their motor skills and social behaviour. In this research I investigate how these developments should be understood from the perspective of violin teaching to children in this age group and how these developments can be used by the teacher to the benefit of their education to become all-round violinists and musicians.
For this research I studied the relevant literature in the field of development psychology and the training of young talents and I compared the scholarly theories and insights with my personal experience as a violin and violin methodology teacher of more than 20 years.
In this thesis I describe the great potential that violin teaching to children in middle childhood offers, provided that the teacher has a good understanding of the learning process of the child, a clear vision and long-term strategy for the teaching and tremendous patience. Central elements of this vision should be a clear overview and balanced approach of all the different elements that make an expert violinist and all-round musician, the flexibility to respond and adapt to the specific abilities and needs of each individual pupil and an approach that fully involves the child in his/her own learning process.
Mycological provisions
(2016)
author(s): Christopher Lee Kennedy
published in: Journal for Artistic Research
This exposition considers the use of mycology and chance operation as a method and material for arts-based research. The exposition details a series of mushroom hunting excursions designed to engage four artist-teachers in collaborative dialogue about their practice and identity. As participant and researcher converse, the hunts unfold as dérive-like encounters with a landscape interrupted through chance and embodied experience. The project draws from the work of artist and composer John Cage, who used fungi and mushroom hunting as one of many devices for exploring sound and its relationship to environment. Contextual research and documentation offer a glimpse into this process, while considering unstructured, kinetic, and uncertain ways of knowing in qualitative and arts-based research. The aim is to explore mycology as a post-formal lens for understanding the pedagogical and creative practices of the artist-teacher as a networked, fluid, and relational system.
STUDIES IN KUNSTVAKIDIOTIE

Welcome to "Studies in Kunstvakidiotie". Here, you can browse through the photographs, essays, drawings, audio and video clips. ‘Studies in kunstvakidiotie’ is the doctoral research of Mirjam van Tilburg at Antwerp Research Institute for the Arts (ARIA). This is a study in arts education from within the arts. She tries to shift the dominant image of life-long-learning (LLL) and provide insight into the possibilities that this LLL space also provides to art teachers. By searching in this way, more and more became clear about life-long-learning of art teachers. Therefore, a linear cause-and-effect narrative did not seem to do justice to the subject matter. The term ‘studies’ in the title is sketchy — it also involves repetition and seeking connections and, above all, it is a derivative of studio and study.
Five essays form the markers within ‘Studies in Kunstvakidiotie’. Together, they construct a narrative. The essay ‘(onder)zoek in kunsteducatie’ describes practices and values that stem from Mirjam van Tilburg’s artistic practice: education. The motivation behind this research is that art teachers find LLL events to be limited. The essay ‘LLO als commoning practice’ discusses the possibilities of commoning practices. The examples: The New School Collective and studios are outlined herein. The studios are the experiment within this doctoral research. During the winter of 2020-2021, Mirjam van Tilburg worked with ten art teachers. The experiment of this doctoral project coincided with the Covid-19 crisis. Together they occupied artist studios in Tilburg and Rotterdam to de-automate and look at teaching practices.
The essays ‘Blik’ and ‘Tijd’ therefore propose two topics of conversation within LLL: the ‘aesthetic glance’ and the temporal experience of ‘interruption’. These essays question the efficient and productive order prevailing in the work environment and LLL of art teachers.
The essay ‘Herontdekking van Kunstvakidiotie’ is the story of a change in the craft of art teachers in the first Covid-19 crisis year. The term ‘kunstvakidiotie’ in the title cannot be directly translated into English because it is a compound word and may have specific connotations in the Dutch context. The essay describes how in these studios, art subject teachers had one foothold: artistic fervour.

ESSAYING ART - AN UNMETHODOLOGICAL METHOD FOR ARTISTIC RESEARCH
(last edited: 2022)

This exposition is in progress and its share status is: visible to all.
This research is about Artistic Research education. Artistic research is a relatively new academic field where science and art are integrated. But defining this institutionalized field, and the methods and evaluation criteria of its output, is highly debated. There is no one universal definition, criteria or evaluation for this in this educational field. Which isn't surprising considering that both the artistic as scientific element can consist of a vast verity and combination of fields, topics and disciplines[1]. But definitional difficulties are also inherent to the field because the scientific and artistic methodologies are subject to different criteria. Science needs to articulate its sources, as well as its relevance and its context, and it must provide clear argumentation. Furthermore, it is strictly bound to academic and ethical rules. Art is not constraint by these methods, ethics and rules. Can we integrate the scientific and artistic in a working method?
The essay inherently embraces both the artistic and the scientific. It drifts in-between the subjective and the objective, the experiential and the intellectual. The essay expresses a train of thought, and critically reflects on those thoughts: it experiments and speculates. What if artists use the essay as an un-methodological research method? The artistic researcher approaches the topic of investigation essayistically; essaying art. The form of expression can encompass all possible artistic media, and all possible combinations of media like: writing; video; photography; sound; composition; performance and more.
In order to put this theory to the test, I have formulated an elective course for first-year students of the research master Artistic Research at the University of Amsterdam (NL). In this experimental pilot, I investigate how an essayistic approach to artistic research could be practically used as an unmethodological method for developing individual Artistic Research form and approaches. This research describes, evaluates and critically reflects on the educational project and the theoretical debate in Artistic Research.

Documentación del proceso de investigación pedagógica en danza inclusiva llamado Zona de Creación Accesible
Para el 2020 ConCuerpos ha estructurado una investigación pedagógica a profundidad sobre el desarrollo de técnicas en un contexto inclusivo. Realizaremos 4 laboratorios y 4 periodos de asimilación en donde los miembros de la compañía tendrán el tiempo de estructurar entrenamientos que respondan a sus necesidades y deseos específicos.
Partimos de la pregunta ¿Qué es ser un/a bailarín/a de nivel profesional en la danza inclusiva? Esta pregunta se aborda de manera subjetiva, concretando competencias específicas que se desean alcanzar. Estudiando técnicas como Piso Móvil, Danza Moderna, Danza Contacto y Pilates, cada quien desarrollará su propio lenguaje, principios y ejercicios para originar una técnica propia.
Esta investigación pretende aportar a la profundización de nuestro campo, abriendo posibilidades concretas para la profesionalización de bailarines diversos

Educational transduction
(last edited: 2016)
author(s): Iñaki Imaz Urrutikoetxea
This exposition is in progress and its share status is: visible to all.
From the conviction that artistic practise is, in a deep sense, investigation, this exhibition is about its relationship to teaching. It is about the search for a balanced way to articulate the discursive and the material; it is about making art while speaking or writing about it without renderning it banal or attempting to exhaust the meaning of producing and what is produced; without intending to justify it solely through the ineffable nature of the material.
As a possible means of resolving this, I propose transduction as a methodological resource for making the passage from the studio into the classroom a natural, effective movement. Transduction is then seen as an exemplary resource for supporting artistic discovery without the need to analyse or explain it while making full use of it.
The most important contribution of this exhibition is that here, transduction is not seen merely as an object for speculation and analysis, but as the way in which the exhibition has grown and taken shape. These texts were written while the paintings were being made and the exhibition environment designed, in different styles (summary, theoretical reflection, manifesto). The relationship between text and image is not exactly the habitual relationship between work and its representation, but is constructive and structural in the sense that I have attempted to form the exhibition as a work in itself.
I consider this exhibition to be of interest to anyone preoccupied with art education as a practice.
