No. 292 | Handbook of Research and Policy in Art Education
Edited by Elliot Eisner and Michael Day, Brigham
Handbook of Research and Policy in Art Education marks a milestone in the field of Art Education. Sponsored by the National Art Education Association and assembled by an internationally known group of art educators, this 36-chapter handbook provides an overview of the remarkable progress that has characterized this field in recent decades. Organized into six sections, it profiles and integrates the following elements of this rapidly emerging field: history, policy, learning, curriculum and instruction, assessment, and competing perspectives. Because the scholarly foundations of art education are relatively new and loosely coupled, this handbook provides researchers, students, and policy makers (both inside and outside the field) an invaluable snapshot of its current boundaries and rapidly growing content. In a nutshell, it provides much needed definition and intellectual respectability to a field that as recently as 1960 was more firmly rooted in the world of arts and crafts than in scholarly research.

No. 234 | Research Methods and Methodologies for Art Education
Sharon D. La Pierre and Enid Zimmerman, Editors
Chapters in this book address both methods and methodologies for conducting contemporary research in art education. This book contains research methods that can be used specifically to study aspects of the field of art education. Is there a difference between research procedures used in the arts and those used in the sciences, such as the behavioral, life, or physical sciences? These methods have been proven to contribute to research knowledge within the field. Researchers in art education are looking, thinking, and observing from an artistic perspective and creating new parameters that reflect a knowledge base that is directly related to the arts. "Research Methods and Methodologies for Art Education is a tour-de-force perspective on art education research change. Drawing upon decades of the richest sources of data and literature, La Pierre and Zimmerman have created a profound anthology of the times."
