Website Survey

This website is part of a research project that aims to investigate pre-service teacher’s experience with and attitude towards the use of on-line resources in the delivery of learning and teaching in Creative Arts education. It is envisaged that artsMMADD.com will promote a social network for the exchange of resources and support and the opportunity to develop long term systematic change through building capacity, confidence and competence of pre-service teachers. The data synthesised during this component of the study will inform the website and will provide a nexus between pre-service and in-service teachers in the community of Creative Arts Education.

Please spend a few minutes completing the survey.
