摘要:Maxine Greene championed that teachers and students can discover openings
providing space for the development of wide-awakeness through art and aesthetic
education. Wide-awakeness is a heightened sense of consciousness encouraging
critical awareness and deep engagement with one’s world. As individuals come alive
in this way, their open-minded exploration is fueled by their development of personal
agency and self-worth through their pursuit of presentness and possibility. Through
a case study of the college art education course, Pedagogy as Art Practice, I sought
to gain a better understanding of what ways the teacher and students’ engendered
wide-awakeness, how the structure of the course supported this development, and
how this impacted the participants. With this paper I narrate the story of how the
participants’ being with and being there, or their relational and intellectual
engagement, facilitated their enactment of wide-awakeness.
