The aim of this paper is to ascertain the main subject qualities in Junior Cycle (JC) Visual Art (VA) in The Republic of Ireland, and whether these qualities are unique to the subject. The context of JC VA education is outlined through the exploration of its values, aims and objectives as well as investigating the subject's unique qualities. A mixed methods research approach was used to analyse three years of Department of Education Subject Inspection Reports for VA to explore the qualities of VA education. Seven published JC Subject specifications, including the VA specification were analysed using word frequency measurements with the aim of exploring the qualities of JC VA and whether these qualities are unique to the subject. Semi-structured interviews were also held to explore the issues arising and aim to capture some of the thoughts of VA curriculum experts, school leaders and VA teachers. Through the analysis of word frequencies, it can be concluded that the VA specification highlights creativity, problem-solving, collaboration and reflecting as dominant qualities in VA education and similarly, the Inspection Reports present the same findings. However, it is important to note that these qualities are also found in other subject areas though not as strongly or frequently. The interview process highlighted similar findings concluding that VA education “lends itself” to the above qualities however the subject cannot claim them as solely unique to the VA classroom.

爱尔兰青少年周期视觉艺术教育的独特品质

本文的目的是确定爱尔兰共和国初级周期(JC)视觉艺术(VA)的主要学科素质,以及这些素质是否是该学科所独有的。通过探索 JC VA 教育的价值观、目的和目标以及调查该学科的独特品质,概述了 JC VA 教育的背景。采用混合方法研究方法对三年来教育部退伍军人学科检查报告进行分析,探讨退伍军人教育的质量。使用词频测量对七个已发布的 JC 主题规范(包括 VA 规范)进行了分析,目的是探索 JC VA 的品质以及这些品质是否是该主题所独有的。还进行了半结构化访谈,以探讨出现的问题,旨在捕捉 VA 课程专家、学校领导和 VA 教师的一些想法。通过词频分析可以得出结论,VA规范强调创造力、解决问题、协作和反思是VA教育的主导素质,同样,检查报告也得出了相同的结论。然而,值得注意的是,这些品质也存在于其他学科领域,尽管不那么强烈或频繁。访谈过程强调了类似的发现,得出的结论是退伍军人事务部教育“适合”上述品质,但受试者不能声称这些品质仅是退伍军人事务部课堂所独有的。可以得出的结论是,VA 规范强调创造力、解决问题、协作和反思是 VA 教育的主导品质,同样,检查报告也得出了相同的结论。然而,值得注意的是,这些品质也存在于其他学科领域,尽管不那么强烈或频繁。访谈过程强调了类似的发现,得出的结论是退伍军人事务部教育“适合”上述品质,但受试者不能声称这些品质仅是退伍军人事务部课堂所独有的。可以得出的结论是,VA 规范强调创造力、解决问题、协作和反思是 VA 教育的主导品质,同样,检查报告也得出了相同的结论。然而,值得注意的是,这些品质也存在于其他学科领域,尽管不那么强烈或频繁。访谈过程强调了类似的发现,得出的结论是退伍军人事务部教育“适合”上述品质,但受试者不能声称这些品质仅是退伍军人事务部课堂所独有的。值得注意的是,这些品质也存在于其他学科领域,尽管不那么强烈或频繁。访谈过程强调了类似的发现,得出的结论是退伍军人事务部教育“适合”上述品质,但受试者不能声称这些品质仅是退伍军人事务部课堂所独有的。值得注意的是,这些品质也存在于其他学科领域,尽管不那么强烈或频繁。访谈过程强调了类似的发现,得出的结论是退伍军人事务部教育“适合”上述品质,但受试者不能声称这些品质仅是退伍军人事务部课堂所独有的。
