- Description
- The investigation of social justice and human rights are major objectives of an innovative pre-service teacher-training course at a regional Australian university. Based on a critical global education agenda, this course has a cross curricula cohort of pre-service secondary teachers employing visual and digital competencies in the production of a series of learning objects. These learning objects demonstrate how arts-studio learning environments open opportunities for the development of creative dispositions. In this chapter, the theoretical underpinnings of the course are discussed, and the pedagogical protocols and strategies are examined. Work samples are analysed to illuminate the rich possibilities for new learning and a model of visual pedagogy is used to identify the elements of effective pedagogical practices in the digital arts-studio. The chapter argues that arts-based inquiry methods in the digital studio have a significant role to play in exploring issues of globalisation such as social justice and supports the claim that critical global education precepts coupled with interactivity, experimentation and production are vital to attaining the tenets of transformative education (Buckingham, 2007; Walsh, 2007; Cope & Kalantzis, 2008).
