The current prevailing perspective in curriculum design in art education is the discipline-based model. This model focuses on teaching art as a discipline with distinct methods within general education and within the context of aesthetic education. Four parent disciplines, aesthetics, art criticism, art history, and art production, are taught by means of a formal, sequential, curriculum across grade levels the same way other academic subjects are taught. Discipline-based art education has been mentioned in terms of its applicability to children, youth and public schools. Little at present has been discussed regarding DBAE for other learner groups and its application to nontraditional educational settings. / This qualitative study sought to develop a model that included elements of a discipline-based approach in a setting other than the ones traditionally in place in public and private school settings. The study's specific focus was on older learners in senior citizens centers. / The model was developed through a synthesis of information collected in three specific data sets utilizing qualitative methodologies. The data sets included: (1) a comprehensive review of literature in related disciplines; (2) an examination of a senior citizens center; and (3) an investigation of model development as it relates to process evaluation. / The model was developed by combining two approaches to model design through an integrated systems approach. If implemented, the model should provide programs with elements of discipline-based art education in senior centers, thereby creating and enhancing more meaningful aesthetic experiences for the program's participants. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 49-08, Section: A, page: 2076. / Major Professor: Betty Jo Troeger. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1988.
