Project Abstract

Abstract
This research study investigates the influence of digital technology on art education within secondary schools. The integration of digital tools and platforms in art education has become increasingly prevalent in modern educational settings, posing both challenges and opportunities for educators and students. This study aims to explore the impact of digital technology on art education practices, pedagogy, student engagement, and creative outcomes in secondary schools. The research is guided by a comprehensive literature review that examines existing studies on the use of digital technology in art education. Key themes explored include the benefits and limitations of incorporating digital tools in art curriculum, the role of technology in enhancing creativity and innovation, and the implications for teaching and learning practices in the art classroom. Methodologically, this study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative and quantitative data collection methods. Surveys, interviews, and observations will be used to gather insights from art educators, students, and school administrators regarding their perspectives on the use of digital technology in art education. Data analysis will involve thematic coding, statistical analysis, and triangulation of findings to provide a comprehensive understanding of the research questions. The findings of this study are expected to contribute to the existing body of knowledge on the impact of digital technology on art education in secondary schools. By exploring the experiences and perceptions of stakeholders involved in art education, this research seeks to identify best practices, challenges, and opportunities for integrating digital tools effectively into the art curriculum. The implications of the study may inform curriculum development, teacher training programs, and policy decisions related to the use of technology in art education. In conclusion, this research aims to shed light on the evolving landscape of art education in the digital age and provide insights into how educators can harness the potential of technology to enhance creativity, critical thinking, and artistic expression among secondary school students. Ultimately, this study seeks to foster a deeper understanding of the intersection between digital technology and art education, paving the way for innovative and engaging approaches to teaching and learning in the visual arts.
