Content Integration through the Eyes of Novice and Experienced Teachers

Works in the galleries changed on a regular basis, as did the content areas represented in my class. [...]images displayed in the galleries that embodied relevant disciplinary concepts for current preservice teachers were chosen. Based on their self report, the art museum activity experienced during preservice did influence their teaching by having them use visual and museum images they would not otherwise have used, had a positive effect on student learning and caused them to either visit art museums, collaborate with an art teacher, think about ways to incorporate works of art, and in one case even look into a museum education degree.
