The Effects of Learning through the Arts on Transportation Knowledge and Skills of Elementary School Students, University Students and Classroom Teachers

The purpose of this study was to enhance knowledge of geographic and other transportation concepts, through the lens of dance and theatre. During the last five years 2009-2013, elementary and middle school students and their teachers gained knowledge through an interdisciplinary approach that combined the teaching of transportation concepts with the arts. Through the lesson plans, research projects, presentations and publications, there is evidence that this project benefited elementary and middle school age students and current and future educators.
