TOWARDS INTEGRATING PEDAGOGY OF ART AND TEACHER EDUCATION IN THE VISION OF NEP 2020

Art-integrated pedagogy is a process of instruction that focuses on applying the arts as a means of learning and instruction. It involves integrating artistic components into the educational process, thereby promoting an in-depth understanding of topics across various subjects in the curriculum. Learners participate in creative exploration as they establish connections among diverse concepts through the use of various art forms. The emergence of innovative pedagogical approaches in the context of the Indian education system opens vistas for expert thinking, knowledge, and skills for the implementation and execution of the various strategies, methods, and techniques for teachers and researchers. In order to make India a ‘global knowledge superpower, NEP 2020, focuses on including innovative pedagogies in the teaching and learning process. The present study aims to highlight emerging pedagogies like Art Integrated Pedagogy, its critical analysis in the context of NEP 2020, the principles and practices of art-integrated pedagogy in the present classroom teaching, and the techniques of assessment of the learning outcomes through the integration of art.
