Study on Studio Work Experience in an Interdisciplinary Learning Context

What is it about?

I developed a collaborative ecological art project involving engineering students, and I included it in my art class as part of the course requirement. As a form of practitioner research, I studied the process and outcomes of the students’ group work and reviewed some interesting findings from the post-project survey about the students’ studio work experience. It was followed by a discussion of art’s potential role in promoting creative engagement in interdisciplinary learning contexts.

Why is it important?

Despite the broad recognition of the educational benefits of interdisciplinary learning contexts, research interest in the potential of such approaches remains limited and exerts little influence on established pedagogical practices. This study is intended to contribute to the research on interdisciplinary approaches by augmenting an empirical understanding of how art can help to promote creative engagement with ecological issues.
