Abstract

This paper investigates the preparation of Australian undergraduate university arts students for a life challenging arts-teaching and creative experience in Timor-Leste. It explores university teaching practice and how we may achieve better student experiences in preparation for their futures as teaching artists. This narrative inquiry research hears the voices of the students through their individual, personal stories. The emerging teaching artists articulate challenges, identify shifts in beliefs and values, and confirm skills that are transferable to cultural arts teaching contexts in the future. In all, the research has resulted in 46 recommendations, some minor, and some requiring more significant structural changes that affect course delivery. For the purposes of this paper, we reflect on and discuss three of the major findings and recommendations in the pedagogical, cultural, and artistic areas of the project implementation. As such, this paper represents a reflective analysis of some of the findings regarding curriculum design within this project.

文化故事:从一个以艺术为基础的澳大利亚大学项目在东帝汶的课程设计学习

本文调查了澳大利亚本科大学艺术系学生为在东帝汶进行具有挑战性的艺术教学和创作经历所做的准备。它探讨了大学教学实践，以及我们如何为学生提供更好的体验，为他们未来的教学艺术家做准备。这种叙事探究研究通过学生的个人故事倾听他们的声音。新兴的教学艺术家阐明了挑战，确定了信仰和价值观的转变，并确认了未来可转移到文化艺术教学环境中的技能。总的来说，这项研究得出了46条建议，有些建议比较小，有些则需要对影响课程交付的结构进行更重大的改变。为了本文的目的，我们反思并讨论了项目实施中在教学、文化和艺术领域的三个主要发现和建议。因此，本文对该项目中有关课程设计的一些发现进行了反思分析。
