Art-based Help Approach in Social Learning Activities
Keywords:
art-based help approach, special needs, social learningAbstract
The art-based help approach encompasses a wide range of activities that education professionals can use in the social learning of children and adolescents: fine arts activities, dramatisation, music activities, dance and movement activities, word art. The action research study by Plavčak (2020) has shown the approach to be effective in social learning for students with mild intellectual disabilities and associated difficulties, especially through puppet activities, fine arts activities and role-play. Other research sources extend the effectiveness of the approach to children and young people with different needs or difficulties.
The approach offers individuals new ways of expressing themselves; it is relaxing; brings satisfaction with themselves and with the group; provides opportunities for cooperation and socialising; stimulates brain development; is fun; stimulates the imagination; is therapeutic; improves the sense of security, communication, empathy, etc. All of the above have a direct or indirect impact on the development of social competence and the approach is therefore recommended to be used by all who have difficulties with social skills. The paper proposes that the design and implementation of social learning support should be carried out in a team, possibly in collaboration with external collaborators.
