Design and validation of brain-based aesthetic curriculum

The aim of the present study was to design and validate brain-oriented aesthetic curricula. The present study has analyzed qualitative content analysis method, deductive categorization system, and new and innovative international researches in relation to brain-based aesthetics. The field of research includes all printed and electronic sources. By sequential purposeful sampling method and through fish taking tools, information is collected and analyzed in three stages of open, axial and selective coding, and then the categories of the presentation model. In order to validate and evaluate the fit of the model, it has been provided to a number of specialists in planning, curriculum, neuroscience and educational sciences, and their corrective opinions have been applied in the final model after obtaining the Kappa Cohen agreement coefficient. The results showed that the categories with higher priority and high factor load in these elements were as follows: The target element includes: visualization in learning and strengthening the brain in all activities. Content element includes: description of the function of the cognitive skills of the brain, flexibility of the brain. The element of teaching-learning strategies includes: raising the level of motivation, providing opportunities for thinking. The environment element includes: happy environment, active learning environment, aesthetic environment. The element of evaluation includes: paying attention to individual differences, using continuous and practical techniques. Therefore, according to the agreement coefficient of experts, it can be said that the proposed model for designing curricula can be appropriate in some courses and at certain ages.
