Students' views on the use of new technologies in art education: An interdisciplinary approach to higher education

Abstract:

The goal of this study was to appoint the students' views on the use of New Technologies in Art education. In this context, a research in the Primary Education Department of University of Aegean was carried out, during the winter semester of year 2010-2011. After having participated in artistic activities which combined traditional art techniques with the use of New Technologies, 82 students took part in the research and answered a questionnaire. The questionnaire was then analyzed with Multidimensional Statistic Data Analysis methods, which allowed for differentiation criteria to emerge as well as for their classification in groups, depending on the students' common answers to the questionnaires. The analysis showed that most students are positive towards using New Technologies in Art education and believe that their introduction in Art classes is possible to be implemented in schools.
