A Study on the Elementary School Students’ Self-Directed Learning for Curating Graduation Exhibition
The study aims to develop the self-directed curriculum and instruction of visual art on the curating of graduation exhibition for the elementary school students. Depended on the belief of learner-centered education, the researcher designed a context that allows the students discussing, modifying, and planning for their graduation exhibition. From the decisions of multiple themes and creative usage of materials to the design of artworks that offer interactive experience, the participants possessed their autonomy to carry out the plan by art action.
During the preparing period of graduation exhibition, the researcher not only evaluated and elicited participants’ art potentiality, but also observed and recorded their achievements gained from the research project.
In the study, the researcher was the teacher conducting the curriculum. The instruments included teacher’s observation logs, collaborative teachers’ observation logs, students’ interview records, and students’ feedback questionnaires. The researcher utilized the data collected by the instruments to analyze the process and results of “Self-Directed Learning on Curating for Graduation Exhibition” and to conduct reflective thinking on curriculum design and instructional foci. Moreover, the researcher took participants’ responses and changes into consideration by the triangulation among observation logs, interview data, and the researcher’s own reflective notes. The results are as the follows:
1. The decision making about curriculum content is the collective construction by participants and the teacher. The mutual interaction process can enhance participants’ abilities with respects to graduation exhibition, macro and multiple viewpoints of art.
2. As the core of curriculum design, self-directed learning on curating graduation exhibition involves students as learning agents, whereas the flipped curriculum can both facilitates learners’ autonomy in visual art and increase the participants’ aggressiveness for graduation exhibition
3. Self-directed learning on curating for graduation exhibition can offer a brand new positioning of teacher’s role not only from a director to a guide, but also from the classroom authority to a learning consultant.
Finally, the results and conclusions from this study also prove that self-directed learning in visual art instruction is quite meaningful and valuable. The researcher provides suggestions for curriculum implementation and future research.
