The study aimed to develop a rubric for the analysis of educational effects
of the "aesthetic experience" in education through arts. For this purpose, the study
fist reviewed literature on the aesthetic experience as well as art and cultural
education, which was followed by the first draft of the rubric.
After two-time validity tests and a pilot test on the first draft of the rubric,
the final version of the rubric came up with three categories (intellectual,
emotional, and practical aspects): The intellectual aspects include the elements of
understand, infer, categorize, connect, create, and express, while the emotional
aspects, emotional sensibility, sympathize, and interest; And finally, the practical
aspects are composed of the three elements of apply, communicate, and reflect.
In conclusion, the developed rubric in this study can be used to measure the
effects of aesthetic education in art-based education, and further to highlight the
importance of both aesthetic education and art-based learning when creativity and
imagination are, recently, emphasized in every field of education.
