Æstetik og læring: Grundbog i æstetiske læreprocesser

Throughout the pedagogical and didactic debate these days you often come across the concept of aesthetics, expressed as the aesthetic dimension, aesthetic learning processes and aesthetic practice for instance. When you examine these texts and statements closer, you may get the impression that aesthetics have developed into an extremely airy concept, a "hooray" word that covers anything tasteful, artistic, sensuous, harmonic, beautiful and experience-oriented. Obviously such a wide aesthetics concept is difficuly to use as anchoring of the pedagogical and didactic work associated with the art-based subjects in the education system. If the concept is to be meaningful and operational within this area, we therefore have to define it further.
