Researchers at University of York are recruiting autistic young people who attend mainstream secondary schools to participate in an online interview study (expected to take between 15 minutes and 1 hour), and mainstream secondary school teachers in England (responses from autistic teachers are particularly welcome) to take part in an online questionnaire. The study is about Creative Art-Based Pedagogy (CABP). This is a way of teaching curriculum content using the creative arts, such as drama, music, dance, creative language and art. For example, you probably learned the ABC song when learning the alphabet. That is CABP! Research shows that creative arts can provide safe spaces within which students can learn, show emotions, make friends and lots more. We want to know how autistic young people and mainstream secondary school teachers, particularly those who are autistic, feel about the creative arts in school.
