數位科技的發展,為當代視覺藝術教學帶來多元的可能性。在諸多數位媒體中,相較於許多微型網誌,「部落格」強調分享、互動,容許圖文拼貼、並置的機制,使之具備知識共構的媒體特質,成為實踐以學習者為主體,建置學習社群的教學場域。鑒於在傳統的教室教學中,藝術教師較難提供每一學習個體均能發表看法,並與同儕個別就其作品及藝術思維進行社會性互動的機會,本研究乃以行動研究為研究模式,探討部落格的相關學習理論,應用其機制並結合數位典藏資源,建置國小階段視覺藝術學習社群,進行教學研究。研究結果顯示,視覺藝術學習社群能透過「班級部落格」之經營而達成,「數位典藏資源」有助於視覺藝術教學內容之加深與加廣,學生對於以班級部落格進行作品分享並與同儕互動、討論的學習方式有正面之認同態度,呈現了多元層次的作品鑑賞回應。根據研究結果,本研究進而提出研究結論與建議,以提供藝術教育工作者參考。
Information technologies have lead to an overwhelming reform of the nature of art teaching. Comparing with other social media, blogs possess the potential to let educational function be utilized in the field of art education for its distinctive characters on conducting texts and images as well as communication strategies. Within traditional classrooms, art teachers were usually unable to offer a multi-interactive environment for students to interact with each other about their artworks and ideas. The purpose of this study was first to explore the group-learning theories and strategies about blogs, and then to organize a class blog based learning group for teaching visual arts at elementary school levels with resource selected from digital archives. Three results were found in this study: (1) a learning group for teaching visual arts could be established through organizing a class blog, (2) the usage of digital archives could extend the range of art teaching resources, and (3) students displayed a positive attitude toward class blog based learning groups, in which they demonstrated multi-levels on interpreting their classmates' artworks. Based on the above results, this study proposes several conclusions and suggestions for future studies and art educators.
