This philosophic study attempts to bridge the gap between phenomenological aesthetics and instructional practice in the classroom. An investigation of E. F. Kaelin's phenomenological aesthetic theory, the andragogical methodology of M. S. Knowles, and the phenomenological process of learning developed by Carl Rogers, are explicated. / An exegesis of relevant literature and concepts relating to Kaelin's aesthetic theory, included reference to Kant, Croce, Dewey, Parker, Langer, Husserl, Sartre, and Merleau-Ponty, is given, followed by the analysis and identification of critical concepts in Kaelin's theory, germane to an effective teacher education. / A brief overview of art education teacher preparation and adult development with its consequences on adult learning is discussed. M. S. Knowles' andragogy, the study of the education of the adult learner, and D. Rogers' phenomenological oriented self with application to a process of learning, are projected as a possible conceptual delivery system which would operationalize Kaelin's theory. / The methodologies of each theorist, Kaelin, Knowles, and Rogers are examined for compatibility. Likewise, the theoretical structure of the delivery system, suggested by the social projections, definitions of education, and a series of Kaelin's principles: projectional antonomy, relevancy, and completeness, is examined for conceptual correlations. / M. Flannery's phenomenological methodology in art education teacher preparation, which focuses on a random noncognitive concept, is discussed for its implications to this study. / In conclusion, it is the non-cognitive, as well as the cognitive aspects of Kaelin's descriptive theory, and teacher preparation in accordance with adult education principles, that function concomitantly, operationalizing Kaelin's phenomenological aesthetic theory. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 43-03, Section: A, page: 0633. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1982.
