Abstract
This study explored the impact of integrating TAB (Teaching for Artistic Behavior) and DBAE (Discipline-Based Art Education) pedagogies on student performance and engagement in a secondary art classroom. By combining these two approaches, the study aimed to create a more effective and enjoyable learning environment. The TAB approach emphasized student well-being and personal expression, fostering a sense of autonomy and self-directed learning. Meanwhile, DBAE provided a structured framework for critique and technical skill development, ensuring high-quality artistic work.

The study found that this hybrid pedagogy significantly enhanced students' ability to work independently and engage deeply with their art projects. The supportive setups and personal connections promoted by TAB, coupled with the clear expectations and structured feedback of DBAE, contributed to a balanced and enriched educational experience. This integration not only improved students’ artistic skills and overall satisfaction but also helped in nurturing their growth as future artists. Through this approach, the study demonstrated how combining structured skill development with creative freedom can lead to better artistic outcomes and greater student engagement.
