Curricular Fictions and the Discipline Orientation in Art Education.
Efland, Arthur
Journal of Aesthetic Education, v24 n3 p67-81 Fall 1990
Shows how discipline-based art education developed, and relates it to Thomas S. Kuhn's theory of paradigm shifts. Critiques Gilbert Clark, Michael Day, and W. Dwaine Greer's theory of disciplined-based art education and highlights mistaken notions in the inquiry methods of curriculum specialists. Concludes that art educators should focus on how students understand art rather than on disciplines. (KM)
