The Process of Primary School Science Learning and Teaching During the Art Activities Integrated Lessons

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to determine the effects of the learning-teaching process carried out by integrating the science course of the fourth grade of elementary school with art activities on learning products. The research was designed as a qualitative research method. Participants of the research were 4th grade 20 students in a public primary school, and 9 parents of students attended the research during the 2020–2021 academic year. The data of the research collected by video recordings of lessons, student products and interview transcriptions. During the art integrated science course artworks were created with different applied arts like “Painting, Music, Sculpture, Literature, Interior Architecture, Graphic Design, Industrial Product Design and Digital Arts”, art criticism and art history. Qualitative data were analysed with thematic analysis. As a result of the analysis of the qualitative data, it was concluded that the students had achievements under five themes: “cognitive dimension”, “artistic dimension”, “environmental awareness dimension”, “affective dimension” and “distance education dimension”.
