Art in School

As a teacher in school-age education and care and the art subject, you work with pupils between ages 6-12 years. The assignment is to create meaningful leisure time for pupils that challenge and stimulate learning as well as awaken the desire to create.

During the three-year long programme, the student will develop professional skill and learn to create pedagogical environments that render play and learning possible. The student are introduced to aesthetic learning processes such as music, art, dance, and drama. The student will also learn to work with multi modal working processes that may include learning mathematics and Swedish outdoors or to use digital tools in teaching.

An important aspect is to, while designing the teaching, be able to intercept and emanate from pupils’ own needs, interests, and experiences.

The student will also get advanced knowledge in conflict resolution, leadership, and how to work with pupils’ social development. It means, among other things, to work with group activities and democracy projects. Furthermore, the student will learn to plan, execute, and assess the teaching in school-age education and care in relation to regulatory documents.
