The Arts-Based Educational Research (ABER)- Jennette, Hui, JingYu

The ABER provides a mechanism for academic scholars to conduct researches from an artistic approach. It is widely used in the interdisciplinary studies. Different from traditional methodology, it enables the researchers to apply their artistic skills to engage studies in various ways including art making, musical performances, poetry, visual products, critical dialogues and other artistic format.

The ABER helps artists, researchers, and teachers to foster a better understanding about the complexities in teaching and learning with incorporation of social transformation and interventions. It could be done in diverse settings either formal or informal. ABER is an effective way to allow scholars to engage deep conversations to integrate their own conscious awareness in order to create a new understanding about their work and the world they live in.
