Fagdidaktikk for lærerutdanneres undervisningsforberedende praksis: Et a/r/totek og en modell for a/r/tografisk (ut)forsking

In this article, I examine the teacher educator's preparatory practices in arts and crafts. The study is experience-based and auto-ethnographic. The practice is examined and interpreted within an a/r/tographic methodological framework. In the interpretation of the material, I use phenomenological hermeneutics and the hermeneutic circle. The research question is: What elements are operative in an a/r/totheke, and how can they be incorporated into a model for didactic (re)search? The preparatory practice is characterized by the teacher educator developing and creating an archive that I conceptually call an a/r/totheke. Artifacts are central, and the elements that are operative in the a/r/totheke are didactics, graphein, and art-making. From each of these, formative meaning, immaterial meaning, and material meaning develop. The model for didactic (re)search is process-based and contributes to expanding perspectives for meaning-making activities and formation in the subject of Art and Design, including elements of visual arts, crafts, and material-based design.
