  Sub-types in Autism Spectrum Disorder
  Summary

  The data from a large-scale longitudinal research project involving the use of educational drama in the social skills education and development of children and young people with an ASD, support compelling evidence for the existence of 12 new sub-types across the high functioning end of the autism spectrum. This study aims to examine the implications of this data in terms of extending existing knowledge on how to communicate, interact with and support children and young people who represent different sub-types on the autism spectrum. The development and exploration of these new sub-types holds considerable potential for changes in policy, practice and future research in the field.

  Youth Theatre: Context, Research and Practice
  Summary

  The Arts Education Research Group (AERG) in the School of Education, Trinity College, and the National Association for Youth Drama (NAYD) have established a research partnership to explore youth theatre practice in Ireland. NAYD was established in 1980 to support the development of youth theatre in Ireland and works in partnership with local authorities, youth services, theatres, arts centres, organisations and individuals. NAYD is committed to conducting research that investigates youth theatre practice and explores its impact on the artistic, social and personal development of the young person. In order to develop youth theatre research in an academically rigorous manner, the aim of this study is to conduct an exhaustive literature review to establish the current situation in terms of youth theatre practice and research. Youth theatre is a thriving youth arts sector in Ireland with an established practice dating back to the late 1970s. The youth theatre sector has drawn heavily on professional theatre, educational drama, applied drama and youth arts practice to shape its own distinctive ethos and methods, and to impact on the lives of the young people and communities where youth theatres are based. However, there appears to be an absence of peer reviewed published research specific to this sector. In phase 1 of the study, the School of Education and NAYD propose to carry out an 'exhaustive' rather than 'exemplary' literature review to examine existing, relevant literature within related areas and lay the groundwork for future research. Phase 1: An exhaustive literature review which will: . Situate youth theatre within the context of the wider academic research in the areas of theatre, educational drama, applied drama and youth arts; . Report a critical review of the relevant literature; . Provide an interpretation and a synthesis of the relevant published work; . Use the framework of the literature review to explore issues surrounding the historical context of youth theatre practice; definitions of youth theatre; and methods, practices and contexts; . Identify gaps within that literature which further research projects may address and refine the research questions within the second and third phases of the project.

  Artful Dodgers (Phase 1): an early years music and visual arts programme for children aged 3-5 years
  Summary

  . To explore the impact of an artists in residence model that works through two arts forms with the children and Early Years Educators in two community childcare services. 'An artist in residence model' will be adopted where two artists will be located in early childhood care services, delivering integrated music, drama and visual arts workshops to children aged between 3-5 years. The study aims to examine the impact of the arts on the development of early literacy and numeracy practices. Through observing the artists in residence, it is intended that the Early Years Educators will develop a strong foundation in music and the visual arts and be equipped with the skills to embed these arts practices in their services once the arts programme is finished.

  Summary

  This EU Minerva Project investigated a vision for the 21st Century School in which ICT is integrated into ICT practice in schools. Through working with successful schools and industrial experts, the project identified examples of innovative practice in the three member countries (Ireland, UK, and Portugal). A database of best practice was prepared using "networked knowledge" between teachers, researchers and industry in order to create teacher briefing packs which contain new models of practice for school teachers as well as a series of case studies which benefit teachers, researchers, teacher trainers and learners across Europe.

  Social skills education through drama for children and young people on the autistic spectrum
  Summary

  Asperger Syndrome (AS) is a pervasive developmental disorder, which most researchers feel falls at the higher-functioning end of the Autistic Spectrum. Individuals with AS can experience significant difficulties with social interaction and communication, flexible thinking, and imaginative play. People with the syndrome are often characterised by an impairment in social interaction as well as stereotyped patterns of behaviour, interests, and activities. There is no known treatment that has any effect on the basic impairments underlying Asperger Syndrome, but challenges can be diminished by appropriate management and education. The prime motivation for this funded research project came from the realisation that although it is widely recognised that young people with Asperger Syndrome lack the ability to empathise with other people, there is little research on how to help them develop this ability, as most literature in the field focuses on the outcome rather than the process: on methods to enable children achieve social skills by imitating the 'correct' (acceptable) behaviours, rather than helping them decode the images they see and understand the meanings below the surface. This project aims to investigate whether the sustained use of an integrated creative arts approach with specific focus on the use of drama in education will lead to a more successful social, personal, emotional and cognitive education of young people with AS. It aims to bring about a greater understanding of what it means to live with AS and the implications on one's life.

  The DIEAC Framework (Design, Implementation and Evaluation of Arts in Context)
  Summary

  In response to the diversity and significance of collaborative arts practices in a range of social and community contexts, the School of Education and the Long Room Hub (TCD) in partnership with Create (National Development Agency for Collaborative Arts in Social and Community Contexts) and the Arts Council, propose to research and develop the DIEAC framework. This framework is proposed on the basis of providing an adaptive and flexible tool for designing, implementing and evaluating arts in context (DIEAC). Existing guidelines and models mainly cater either for project planning or retrospective evaluation. This forward-looking framework is predicated on the basis of providing a holistic approach to artists working in social and community contexts. The DIEAC framework will utilise the Arts Council's Artist in the Community Scheme, managed by Create, as the source material for the research enquiry.
