The field of research ranges from kindergarten, primary and secondary school to liberal arts and postgraduate courses at university. The chapters cover both formal and informal settings, such as museums and after school programs. The genres of art include visual art, performance, dance, vocal music, and drama.    Arts-based or arts-inspired methods help students’ artistic inquiry through creative or performative practices, leading to new findings that might not otherwise be described. Artistic practice makes students reflect on their own bodies, emotions, feelings, ways of life, and relationships with others, which leads to creative thinking.    The volume is based on three new trends in art and education: 1) the development of Arts-Based Research in Japan since its introduction from abroad; 2) the introduction of art practice into academic research in various disciplines and diverse educational settings; and 3) the new trend in drama education and theatrical performance in Japan.    Each chapter inspires and provokes discussion among researchers and practitioners in various educational settings on the future direction of art education in Japan and around the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface  List of Figures and Tables    1 Art = Research: Inquiry in Creative Practice   Kayoko Komatsu and Ryoji Namai  2 Arts-Based Research Practices in Sociology: Undergraduate and Graduate Degree Education   Masayuki Okahara and Alena Prusakova  3 What Arts-Based Research and A\/r\/tography Allow for Art Education in Teacher Training and Education in Japan   Koichi Kasahara  4 ABR by Learners in Liberal Arts: A Case Study of Artist Eiko Otake’s “Delicious Movement”   Yuka Hayashi and Takeshi Okada  5 Exploring as an Artist: A Study of a Practical Arts Course for Non-Arts-Major Students at a Japanese University   Kikuko Takagi and Shijun Wang  6 Constructing Design Guidelines for a Creation-Focused Contemporary Dance Educational Program for Non-Dance Majors   Yuko Nakano and Takeshi Okada  7 Music-Based\/Inspired Scientific Research and Liberal Arts Education   Kazutoshi Kudo and Kiyomi Toyoda  8 Developing University Students’ Creativity through Participation in Art Projects   Takumitsu Agata and Shingo Jinno  9 The Possibility of Museum Theatre in Japan: From Hands-on to “Minds-on” through Drama Work   Yuriko Kobayashi  10 Why Can Girls Perform as Boys But Boys Reject Performing as Girls?
