The Role of the Aesthetics within AP History Courses
Belesis, Georgia
Social Education, v84 n3 p184-187 May-Jun 2020
As a veteran pedagogue of AP World History courses who integrates the aesthetics within my instruction, I have witnessed how this integration has helped my students advance their emotional intelligence, develop historical literacy skills, and obtain a three or better in the AP World History exam. (Five is the highest score that students can achieve on the exam, with a three or better enabling college credit.) I determined, based on my own pedagogical justifications and evidence-based research, that aesthetic-based teaching and learning practices have a significant impact upon AP History courses, helping students to become emotionally connected to the past while advancing their academic performance.
