Education Arts-Informed Research Arts-Related Research Empathy Social Constructionism Relational-Cultural Theory Participant Engagement This dissertation identifies what children understand about empathy. Utilizing an arts-informed research methodology, the children and I engaged as equal partners in one-on-one semi-structured interviews, focus group sessions and art-making to explore empathy. Evidence in the form of spoken word and artistic representations show that children understand empathy as something inherent, actionable, and learned. Through an examination of literature, arts-based education and theories that define how we engage in relationship, a new and more thorough understanding of empathy and its benefits are learned. The value and relationship art can play in the development of children’s empathy are shared also. Implications for how we understand empathy, arts-informed research methodology and educational practice are included herein. 2015-06-02 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1427797342 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1427797342 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
