Description
Summary:This is a meta-synthesis study of a/r/tography studies in art, research, and education in Türkiye. This article is focused primarily on the reflections of a/r/tography on art education and pedagogical practices in Türkiye. In this context, 14 academic studies conducted between 2015 and 2024 were analyzed, focusing on their artistic, educational, and societal contributions. A/r/tography integrates the identities of the artist, researcher, and teacher, supporting creativity and interdisciplinary collaboration. Using the meta-synthesis method, this study examines the contributions of a/r/tography to developing creative thinking skills, identity formation, and fostering multidisciplinary interactions. The findings reveal that this method holds significant potential for enhancing students' artistic identities, promoting innovative thinking, and increasing their capacity for creative expression. Interaction with disciplines like music and visual arts fosters intuitive listening and critical perception skills. In conclusion, the a/r/tography method provides a multidimensional and innovative contribution to art education and pedagogical practices in Türkiye. This method, which supports creativity and individual expression through an interdisciplinary approach, establishes a new paradigm in art education and helps students discover their artistic identities. Therefore, further dissemination and deeper exploration of a/r/tography in different contexts are necessary.
