This thesis explores pedagogy associated with high levels of achievement in art in the final year of secondary school, by learners in different social positions. It investigates first, achievement patterns in final-exhibition percentage grades, in relation to learners' social class, race, and gender. Second, based on comparison of high and lower-achieving school classes of socially similar learners, it examines specific pedagogic features linked to success in particular social contexts. The research asks whether or not specific pedagogic features are associated with achievement in art for learners in particular social positions, and if so, whether. These are similar to pedagogic features linked to success in science. It combines different methods to address these questions: a survey to identify art achievement patterns in relation to learners' social class, race and gender, and a multiple case study for detailed exploration of pedagogy and curriculum linked to performance in art, in six school classes. Finding achievement patterned more strongly in relation to social class than race or gender, analysis focuses on social class and achievement. 2014-12-26T14:23:07Z 2014-12-26T14:23:07Z 2005 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/10155 eng application/pdf School of Education Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town
