Although prevalently focused on research-based outcomes (i.e. better understanding of a particular phenomenon, process or experience), arts-based researchers have widely emphasised the transformational potentialities of arts for individuals. In particular, the arts create space for thinking differently and provide opportunities to explore intuitive and emotionally connected ideas that do not rely on words alone. The arts are powerful instruments to activate individual and collective reflection, creativity and ability to approach life situations from different perspectives. Thus, arts are particularly powerful to promote the creative and transformational processes that are essential for professional identity development, including reflection and reflexivity on self. In this paper we aim at conceptualising the high potential of art-based research, as a creative process, for teachers’ identity development. Based on a systematic scientific literature analysis we intend to map the different ways arts can be used to support teachers’ professional identity development while clarifying which transformational and learning processes are involved.

通过基于艺术的研究来发挥创造力，以支持教师的身份发展

尽管通常专注于基于研究的成果（即对特定现象，过程或经验的更好理解），但基于艺术的研究人员广泛强调了艺术对个人的变革潜力。特别是，艺术创造​​了不同思维的空间，并提供了探索不仅仅依赖单词的直觉和情感联系的想法的机会。艺术是激发个人和集体反思，创造力和从不同角度处理生活状况的能力的有力工具。因此，艺术对于促进创造性和变革性过程特别有力，这对于职业身份发展至关重要，包括对自我的反思和反思。在本文中，我们旨在概念化基于艺术的研究的巨大潜力，作为一个创新的过程，用于教师的身份发展。在系统的科学文献分析的基础上，我们打算绘制各种艺术可以用来支持教师专业身份发展的方式，同时阐明涉及哪些转型和学习过程。
