Following a period of consultation, Review and Development Groups
(RDGs) were set up under the auspices of the Scottish Consultative
Council on the Curriculum, to give advice on each area of the curriculum.
Each RDG undertook a wide-ranging review of good practice in order
to set out clearly the knowledge, understanding, skills and attitudes
appropriate to its curriculum area; and then to advise on the formulation
of national curriculum guidelines which would identify the aims
of study, the ground to be covered, the way that learning should
progress and how pupiis' attainment should be monitored and recorded.
These guidelines on the Expressive Arts are based on the report
of Review and Development Group 4, which was issued as a consultative
document (Working Paper 6: Expressive Arts) in August 1991;
following a period of consultation, the Secretary of State has
decided to issue the guidelines as his considered advice on the
Expressive Arts 5-14.
