Inquiry Aims and Objectives

After reviewing my module feedback from last term I realised I needed to focus my inquiry further and re think my inquiry title. In order for me to establish what I wanted to gain from this inquiry and allow readers to understand this I decided to write a list of my aims and objectives:

Title:

'How can Musical Theatre inclusion in mainstream education benefit a teachers and performers future career within the arts?' 

Aims:
  • Identify what teachers within the arts feel is important about inclusion of musical theatre in mainstream education.
  • Discover when teachers and performers in the arts were first introduced to musical theatre/ performing arts, and find out how important that was in influencing their future career.
  • Start a debate on what path teachers and performers feel produces the best type of teacher.
  • To investigate how I as an educator can allow my pupils to feel fully engaged in learning and challenged with their own capabilities.

Objectives:
  • To improve my understanding of how important the arts are within mainstream education from different professionals perspectives.
  • To aid aspiring teachers and performers on how a future teaching/performing career in the arts can be obtained/sustained successfully according to established professionals.
  • To improve my knowledge and approach as a teacher in order to maximise future career opportunities and business potential to run my own performing arts institute.
Any thoughts on this would be greatly recevied.
