| Summary: | 碩士 === 朝陽科技大學 === 設計研究所 === 97 === The main contents to be studied by students in a school are various courses. Whether a course is perfectly designed is of decisive importance to the teaching methods which a teacher may choose in subsequent teaching processes, and different teachers may develop their own distinctive system of course design because the logic of their thoughts varies.
This study attempts to find out from the teachers’ background and the trend of courses development the underlying ideas of teaching design of visual arts courses in junior high schools.
In this study, relevant information is acquired from document analysis and a supplementary field study, in which individual teachers are interviewed. An open questionnaire survey is also carried out in students of these teachers on their gain from learning to serve as reference. Interviewees of the study are mainly sampled from teachers of visual arts courses in Nantou County (to which the sample range of the study is restricted), and the study is to analyze whether the professional education a teacher received in college has any impact on the logic of his/her thoughts and the development of his/her distinctive teaching methods during his/her work as a teacher. The study also discusses whether the differences of these teachers in their college education and formative years have direct or indirect impact on their building of capacity and their formation of beliefs.
The study reveals that teachers with actual design related educational background are more competent in promoting the teaching of digital art because they had focused on the study of creativity development, basic design concept, and other marketing oriented and consumer demand satisfying training courses in their college days, and to these teachers, the computer is an important tool in their design work. Therefore, teachers graduated from design related departments will not only be able to meet students'' expectation on visual arts, but will also probably be able to experience the charm of visual arts as well if they, by giving full play to their adaptability in computer science and incorporating digital technology into visual arts, get close to the living environment of their students. The main conclusions of the study are as follows: (1) teachers graduated from design related departments are versatile and capable of thinking logically. (2) it is suggested that internet-based digital courses should be planned, and a multi-faceted learning environment be constructed. (3) Teaching design deserves more attention as it can be very useful in practice.
