This research set out from the question, "Is the art activity in the field of
education unrelated to 'Inquisitive' Activity?" The reason-centered traditional view
of education brought about the misunderstanding that the qualitative
thinking-centered art activity is out of thinking or unrelated to inquiry, as it
excluded the 'quality' from the object of inquiry. Being aware of such problem,
this research hopes that the arts education does not remain just as a subject, but
the artistic experience should be applied integratively to the whole activity of
education, showing the qualitative thinking that works dominantly on the art
activity can be a wonderful tool of inquiry. This means that the 'education turned
into aesthetics', that makes learners' experience 'a real experience', shall be the
basis and core of all the educational activities. It is because the artistic experience
in the field of education is the type of 'an experience' and the educational
experience sets out from the artistic experience.
Followings are the summary of how the qualitative thinking has an effect on
the inquisitive activity to complete an inquiry. First, the qualitative thinking means
the whole state of quality before being divided into quality and reason and
becomes the 'prerequisite of inquisitive activity' by facing a situation directly.
Second, the qualitative thinking works as a principle that 'controls and regulates
the rational thinking', as a single quality is unevenly distributed. Lastly, as a core
subject of 'an experience', the qualitative thinking is the driving force of 'growth'
through expansion of inquiry and re-creation of experience.
