Arts-Based Research in Education

Arts-Based Research in Education uses creative methods like visual arts, music, drama, or storytelling to explore and understand educational questions. Instead of relying solely on traditional tests or surveys, researchers engage with artistic practices to gain deeper insights into students’ experiences, learning processes, or social issues. This approach allows for expressing complex or emotional aspects of education that might be hard to capture with numbers alone. It promotes innovative thinking and gives voice to diverse perspectives, making research more influential and meaningful for educators, students, and communities.
