The purpose of this study was to develop a program of undergraduate art education to prepare art teachers for the Jordanian school system. Development of the program was based on the following: (a) examination of needed competencies, (b) comparative study of selected art education programs, (c) examination of art education programs in countries having socioeconomic contexts and educational systems reasonably parallel to those of Jordan, and (d) evaluation of selected course syllabi from institutions of higher learning in the United States. / Development of the program involved several stages. In the first stage, the context of art education in Jordan was examined, to establish the background of the study. This included exploration of the physical, economic, and sociocultural setting. The sub-section entitled "Problems in Art Education in Jordan" established the context in terms of the region, and those study-related characteristics peculiar to the region. The following sub-section, "Issues and Trends in Art Education," set the context in terms of the discipline. In this part, current thought and activities in the United States, Europe, the Middle East, and finally in Jordan itself, were examined. / In the second stage, "Designing the Art Education Program," the identified teacher competencies were organized into an art education curriculum of sequenced units or courses. / The third stage, "Program Implementation," explored several factors which can affect the decision of which components will be introduced. The first factor examined was the availability of human resources; the second factor was the availability of facilities; and the third factor was the cost of the curriculum components. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 44-11, Section: A, page: 3250. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1983.
