ProQuest LLC, Ph.D. Dissertation, University of South Florida
The purpose of this study is to explore the experiences and perceptions of teachers who use arts-integrated instruction and their directors of K-2 students before, during, and after the unique period of online instruction during the COVID-19 pandemic, which began in March of 2020. Arts integration is a method of teaching in which students are taught comprehension of subject areas (i.e. -- math, science, reading, social studies) through art forms. These art forms include music, theatre, dance, art, and writing. I collected he qualitative data for this research through virtual interviews with five female participants. I transcribed these interviews and analyzed them for themes. The three themes resulting from the interviews include the arts as an important teaching tool, decrease in student motivation and learning, and guidance for new teachers. These findings indicate the need for more research on online instruction for early childhood education students, especially in arts-integrated instruction.
