How Value and Perceptions Shape Arts Integration: A Descriptive Phenomenological Study by Floyd W. Green III
This phenomenological study, a collaborative effort with administrators, educators, and community arts collaborators, delves into their perceptions regarding the value of arts integration within urban schools. The research question guiding this study focused on understanding the perceptions about the value of community partnerships in arts integration programs. The researcher used the Social Construction of Value theory to examine how arts integration and community partners, mainly teaching artists, were valued in marginalized urban schools. Given the limited research on the value and perceptions of arts integration, a new conceptual framework, the Community Arts Integrator Preceptor Model (CAIPM), was developed to explore the underlying structures and meanings of experiences that address alignment and misalignment in advancing arts integration.
