Carr, Dawn Celeste Gerontology art art programming older adults community case study Arts opportunities implicitly reflect theoretical frameworks and assumptions related to the role of the community, the field of art, and older adults in society. The purpose of this study was to examine the nature and scope of arts opportunities in a single community, employing theoretical frameworks from gerontology to understand current arts programming for older adults. The principal investigator performed an in-depth community case study of arts opportunities including interviews with 36 arts organizations, 6 older adults, and 3 instructors. These interviews resulted in thematically derived descriptive criteria: setting, funding sources, cost to participants, age-segregated/integrated programs, role of participants, role of experts, and purpose of the programs. Additionally, five prototypical, mutually exclusive categories were identified: Engaged-Learning Environment; Activity-Oriented-Learning Environment; Class Stratified Environment, Peer-Driven Environment; and a Cohort-Centered Environment. The emergence of and differentiation among these categories is discussed from the perspective of activity theory and the political economy perspective. 2005-05-04 English text Miami University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1115233455 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1115233455 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
