摘要：Our pedagogic developing project, ImproStory, addresses improvisation and
storytelling. We study how these two concepts could be applied in arts and crafts
education for both primary and Kindergarten (daycare) teachers. The majority of our
data consists of digital questionnaires in basic arts and crafts studies of primary preservice
teachers (N=323). Additional data (portfolios) contain a group of Kindergarten
and primary pre-service teachers with a focus in visual arts (N=8). All data were
collected at the University of Helsinki (Finland) during the academic year 2014–2015.
According to our study, pre-service teachers consider improvisation and storytelling to
be beneficial skills. They see developing them as necessary and useful. Experimenting
and learning the approach appear to strengthen pre-service teachers’ collaboration and
allow them to build independence, trust, and self-confidence within arts and crafts
education. In addition, improvisation and storytelling helps them to recognize their
individual creative potential.
