Main Article Content
Abstract
The aims of this research were 1) to investigate the use of information on the Internet that helps promote Art Education students' learning, and 2) to propose guidelines for using online information to enhance Art Education students’ learning. The participants consisted of 300 Art Education students and 16 lecturers in the Art Education curriculum. Questionnaires and interviews were deployed for gathering data.
Research findings showed that, overall, the students’ opinions of using information on the Internet and the importance of using information on the Internet were at a high level. The guidelines are as follows.
As for information evaluation, instructors should suggest reliable websites, apply a reflection thinking method, and be unbiased. Students should use information from both domestic and international websites that specify the authors, dates of publication, language accuracy, and references.
As far as application to learning is concerned, students should present information in the classroom to exchange ideas. Instructors may provide topics for students to search, analyze, and compile their information, or apply it to create artwork. Teaching activities should emphasize searching information on the Internet, using analytical processes in class, and using the information that is relevant to the purpose.
The other aspect is ethical use of information. Instructors should educate students about copyright and Creative Commons, refer to the sources of the information used in teaching. Students should compile the information and edit it in their own way with proper citations and references.
