The purpose of this study was to make an analysis of national art education
policies in an effort to find out what problems they were faced with and to
determine some of the right directions for them. An analytic framework for art
education policy was developed.
The analytic framework was based on different policy-evaluation prototypes,
being constituted by five elements including process, area, criteria, item and
detailed item. First, the policy-analysis process was divided into four: policy
formulation, policy making, policy implementation, and policy-making analysis.
Second, analytic areas for each of the analysis processes were selected in
light of their nature. In the policy-formulating process, policy background and
opinion gathering were analyzed, and in the policy-making process, target setting
and consulting were investigated. In the policy-enforcement process, enforcement
planning and enforcement method were analyzed, and in the output analysis
process, connection with art education and whether or not the policies made any
contribution to improving art education were examined.
Third, the selected analytic criteria were responsiveness, democracy, adequacy,
cooperativeness, feasibility, coherence, effectiveness, and efficiency for each of the
analysis processes.
Fourth, items were selected to be appropriate for each of the selected
analytic criteria in the form of question.
Fif th, detailed items were additionally prepared.
