Embedding Learning Through the Arts in the Curriculum: Lessons from the Paul Hamlyn Foundation Teacher Development Fund Pilot Evaluation

The session evaluated CUREE's work with the Paul Hamlyn Foundation. The foundation wanted to investigate how the arts can be used to improve people's education. We evaluated the six projects that were implemented by the Paul Hamlyn Foundation and looked into what lessons can be learnt from the teacher development fund pilot evaluation.  

A new way of looking?' Reflections upon one teacher's experience of supporting learners using handheld computers

Aim: This study set out to explore the views of students who had successfully used handheld computers for studying artwork in a museum environment on the i-guide Gallery Project. The intention was to identify what it was that had helped enhance their motivation and improve their skills in analysing works of art. The project considered the wider implications of using new technology and is of relevance to other subject areas in a variety of educational contexts.
