What Artistically Crafted Research Can Help Us to Understand about Schools.

Eisner, Elliot W.

Educational Theory, v45 n1 p1-6 Win 1995

This analysis describes some of the general features of art and goes on to look at what the artistic treatment of research entails. Artistically crafted research that includes coherence, imagery, and particularity can help to explain what is important about schools. Further, the education of teachers should be regarded as the education of artists. (JB)
