| This investigation begins with an historical tracing of educational policies with a special focus on art education. Then a discussion of the significant socio-political and economic governmental policies, from the time of the colonial settlement, is presented to assess their impact on the evolution of art teacher preparation practices. The contemporary scene is probed through an extensive collection of interviews with art trainees in a variety of Black teacher training institutions and with some of their students. Finally, some inferences are drawn relative to improving programs and practices. |
