| This study investigated how art educators instruct high school students in a computer graphic design course and how the students believed that they learned and developed knowledge and skills most effectively. With the rapid growth in digital technology, computers are used routinely in daily life, and computer-generated images are shown in almost every television commercial. It is impossible for art educators to ignore or avoid this technological prevalence. The most significant task for art educators in technology education is to develop or improve students' conceptual thinking in order to move beyond the basic functions of computer programs. The secondary purpose of the study was to create a teaching model to help students to enhance their level of conceptual thinking. It is hoped that this research and its recommendations will contribute to art educators, especially those teaching computer graphics or contemporary media in art for adolescents. |
