Elliot Eisner was concerned that the American model of education placed art on a lesser level of importance and was unbalanced. He proposed viewing education as an artistic activity to make it more creative.

Eisner's artistic approach to curriculum planning has seven components: goals and priorities, content, types of learning opportunities, organization of learning opportunities, organization of content areas, modes of presentation and response, and types of evaluation procedures.

Eisner viewed education as an artistic activity. He argued this would allow moving beyond technical knowledge and reliance on instruction to more creative ways of knowing and being.

Eisner’s Model

(Elliot Eisner’s Artistic Approach)


Elliot W. Eisner
•He is a professor of Art and
Education at the Stanford
University School of Education.

•His research interests include


arts education, curriculum
reform, qualitative research
methods, among others.

•Eisner become worried that the


current model of education in
America was unbalanced and
placed art on a lesser level of
importance.
Another aspect of Eisner’s view of education, was the
idea that education itself is an artistic activity.

From the perspective of


education as art, Eisner
argued that this would
allow us to move beyond
the technical know how
and instructive reliance,
and instead open our
minds to more creative
ways of knowing and
being.
Eisner’s Artistic Approach

This artistic approach to curriculum


planning by Elliot W. Eisner was developed
with a combination of his interest in art
education and curriculum. It comprises seven
components, which are as follows:
1. The goals and their priorities. He stressed
out that the term “objectives” is the most
specific statement compared to “aims” and
“goals” and it is not always possible to have
very specific objectives.
2. The content of the curriculum. Eisner have
similar belief with that of Tyler, that
curriculum developers should consider the
three basic sources from which content can
be drawn: individual, society and subject
matter.
3. The types of learning opportunities. He also
considered that different learning
opportunities should be given to the students
wherein the curriculum planners and teachers
play a very important role.
4. The organization of learning opportunities.
Curriculum planners must organize learning
opportunities that will be given to students
with teachers, input the planning process.
5. The organization of content areas. Similar
with that of Taba, Eisner also think that the
teachers are responsible for organizing the
activities and the content to be learned by the
students.
6. The mode of presentation and mode of
response. He pointed out that diverse modes
of communication should be used in the
classroom in presenting the curriculum to
provide a wide variety of learning
opportunities.
7. The types of evaluation procedure. This last
component, according to Eisner, evaluation
encompasses the entire process of curriculum
planning and development.
