Innovative Learning and Teaching for Quality Careers of Graduates and Excellent Higher Education: Arts Didactics in Higher Education

Abstract

Artistic expression makes an important contribution to a child's holistic development, fostering cognitive, social, personality, and problem-solving skills, and positively affecting physical, language and emotional development. The need for appropriate qualification of pedagogical staff trained for future professional activity in planning and teaching arts content at different educational levels is met by the higher education system, which strives to equip future educators and teachers with relevant knowledge in the field of arts content. Direct experience in the fields of art creation and the planning and teaching of art content contributes significantly to the development of students' own artistic expression and, consequently, to a more serious reflection on the content and organisation of art activities in practice. In doing so, the method of teaching art content is designed to develop students' understanding of the complexity of visual arts so that they are later able to design, organise and implement high quality art content.
