The reported research refers to the implications of Information Theory, Information and Communication Technologies and Applied Ontologies, in the educational process, in general, with specific attention to artistic education. We emphasize the major role of the informational methods for knowledge organisation, calling on such concepts as shared use and interoperability of information, in the context of the recent teaching and learning paradigms shift. Three contributions with significant potential are introduced: an extension of the navigationist paradigm and two formal methods, aiming at improved information processing for teaching and learning in the arts, with a new perspective on the definition of the work of art.
Recent research carried out in various fields of knowledge have led to significant results, which are also decisively imposed in the sphere of the arts. These contributions expand not only the area of artistic practices (new means of artistic production are established), but also the range of approaches from art theory, related to these practices. Our study illustrates this fact through a review of the scientific literature: articles, specialized publications, monographs and programmatic documents of some relevant institutions. The complexity of the information constellation in which the practice and theory of art are circumscribed, in the recent period, is thus highlighted, which necessarily leads to new specific requirements regarding the instructional design in the field of arts higher education.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
