Combining arts with science builds on students’ interests in nature while allowing them the joy and pleasure of artistic expression. Although educators often discuss integrating the arts into science learning, empirical support is relatively recent (Gullatt, 2008). This study synthesizes previous empirical studies and theoretical literature published on arts integration, how the arts are integrated into science teaching, and the efficacy of arts integration for science learning.","PeriodicalId":126779,"journal":{"name":"Journal for Learning through the Arts: A Research Journal on Arts Integration in Schools and Communities","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114842224","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
