  In Roundtable Session: 18.072-7 - Investigating and Supporting Science Engagement

Abstract

Some educators have advocated for including the arts in science teaching and learning to enhance learners’ natural propensity for wonder and interest in science. This literature review synthesizes previous empirical studies and theoretical literature published on arts integration, how the arts are integrated into science teaching, and the efficacy of arts integration for science learning. In this presentation, we highlight benefits and obstacles of integrating the arts into science for PreK-12 teachers and learners.
