We compile and describe more than thirty dissertations across methodologies and methods of inquiry, and identifiy three pillars of arts‐based practice – literary, visual, and performative. In this review, we trace the beginnings of a new stream of practice that is interwoven in some of these dissertations and underpins many of them: the methodology of a/r/tography. Four attributes underpin this collection of dissertations: a commitment to aesthetic and educational practices, inquiry‐laden processes, searching for meaning, and interpreting for understanding. Les auteurs explorent les pratiques ciblees et analysees dans les recherches en education axees sur les arts, notamment dans les theses realisees au cours d’une decennie a la Faculte des sciences d’education de l’University of British Columbia.

For mathematics, seven student, five class, and three school level variables accounted for approximately 40 per cent, 60 per cent, and 90 per cent of the initial variability at the school level.

Contrary to mainstream discourse of gender ‐ neutral citizenship, this contest reiterates a notion of Canadian citizenship as masculinized, classed, and raced. Gramsci’s concepts of “hegemony,” “ideology”, and “common sense” and Arnot’s concept of gender and class “codes” anchor this analysis. Drawing on Canadian feminist and critical race scholarship, and contrasting feminist liberal and feminist postmodern perspectives, I have explored the complications of gender and democratic citizenship, and exposed the limitations of liberal democracy for realizing equity and social justice.

In educational contexts, it is not identification but historical empathy that teachers and researchers typically regard as holding pedagogical status. Using examples from my visit to Historica’s 2004 Heritage Fair, I argue that identification is important for the way it marks the young subject’s ambivalent entry into a world of historical relations. A study of identification cannot advance historical consciousness, but it does highlight the senses of vulnerability and emotional conflict in trying to orient the self to a very old world and the losses this implies. Key words: historical empathy, children, elementary education, representation, Freud, Levinas L’auteure propose ici une lecture du concept psychanalytique de l’identification en analysant plus particulierement sa signification dans le contexte de l’apprentissage de l’histoire chez les enfants.

A l’aide d’exemples tires d’une visite a la Fete du patrimoine 2004 de Historica, l’auteure soutient que l’identification est importante, car elle marque l’entree ambivalente du jeune dans un monde de relations historiques. Une etude de l’identification ne peut faire progresser la conscience historique, mais elle met en lumiere le sentiment de vulnerabilite et le conflit emotif qui surgissent lorsqu’on essaie de s’orienter dans un univers tres ancien tout comme les pertes qu’implique cette demarche.
