Thesis Abstract

Abstract
This thesis investigates the impact of technology integration on art education curriculum in secondary schools. The study aims to explore how the incorporation of technology tools and resources influences the teaching and learning of art in secondary education settings. Through a comprehensive literature review, this research examines the current state of technology integration in art education, identifies challenges and opportunities, and proposes strategies for effective implementation. The research methodology involves a mixed-methods approach, including surveys, interviews, and classroom observations, to gather data from art educators, students, and administrators. The findings reveal the benefits of technology integration in enhancing creativity, critical thinking, and digital literacy skills among students. The study also uncovers barriers such as access to technology, teacher training, and curriculum alignment. The discussion of findings highlights the importance of professional development for educators, equitable access to technology resources, and curriculum design that integrates technology seamlessly into art instruction. The conclusion emphasizes the significance of technology integration in preparing students for the demands of the 21st-century workforce and recommends future research directions to further explore this area. Overall, this thesis contributes to the ongoing discourse on the role of technology in art education and provides practical insights for educators, policymakers, and stakeholders in secondary schools.

Thesis Overview

The project titled "Exploring the Impact of Technology Integration on Art Education Curriculum in Secondary Schools" aims to investigate the influence of technology integration on art education curriculum within the context of secondary schools. In recent years, the integration of technology has become increasingly prevalent in educational settings, revolutionizing teaching and learning practices across various disciplines. However, the specific impact of technology on art education remains an area that requires further exploration. This research seeks to address this gap by examining how the incorporation of technology tools and resources affects the delivery and outcomes of art education in secondary schools. By focusing on the intersection of technology and art education, this study aims to provide valuable insights into the potential benefits and challenges associated with technology integration in the art curriculum. Through a comprehensive literature review, this project will explore existing research on technology integration in education, with a specific focus on art education. By examining the theoretical frameworks and empirical evidence surrounding this topic, the study aims to build a solid foundation for understanding the potential impact of technology on art education curriculum in secondary schools. The research methodology will involve a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative and quantitative data collection methods to gather insights from both educators and students. Surveys, interviews, and classroom observations will be used to collect data on the experiences, perceptions, and outcomes of technology integration in art education. The findings of this study are expected to contribute to the existing body of knowledge on technology integration in art education, shedding light on the opportunities and challenges that arise when incorporating technology into the art curriculum. By exploring the impact of technology on student engagement, creativity, and learning outcomes in art education, this research aims to provide practical recommendations for educators and policymakers seeking to enhance art education through technology integration. Overall, this project seeks to deepen our understanding of the role of technology in shaping art education practices and outcomes in secondary schools. By exploring the impact of technology integration on the art curriculum, this research aims to inform future educational practices and policies aimed at promoting creativity, innovation, and critical thinking in art education.
