프로젝트 학습의 예술적 이해: 수준적 예술의 한 단면

초록

There is an increasing recognition of the Reggio Emilia arts among early childhood educators. However, it is mostly dominated by the instrumental concern for its artistic nature. An understanding of the Reggio Emilia arts activities in an existential level could maximize its aesthetic values which highlightan ordinary experience. This study aims to draw the aesthetic meaning of the Reggio Emilia arts activities by analyzing children's discourses and activities in projects. It will be an opportunity to illuminate Deweyan aesthetics in a way that puts an emphasis on the consummator phase of life and to reconsider one of the basic principles of early childhood education, children's interest.
