Examining Fine Arts Students' Technology Integration Skills and Attitudes Towards Ready-Made Images
Abstract
The aim of this study is to examine the perceptions of the Faculty of Fine Arts students regarding technology integration skills and the use of ready-made images in a relational manner in terms of some variables. For this purpose, the research was conducted with 314 students studying at the Faculties of Fine Arts of 10 universities. ‘Technology Integration Skills Scale’ and ‘Perception Scale for the Use of Ready-Made Images’ were used as data collection tools. According to the research findings, the technology integration skills of the Faculty of Fine Arts students are at a moderate level and their perceptions towards the use of ready-made images are generally high. According to the gender variable, it was found that male students' technology integration skills are higher than female students, however, there is no significant difference in perceptions regarding the use of ready-made images in general. When the grade level variable is examined, it was determined that fourth grade students have higher technology integration skills and perceptions of the use of ready-made images. Finally, technology integration skills were found to significantly predict the use of readily available images. Based on the findings of this study, recommendations are presented for improving technology integration in art education programs and the effective use of readily available images.
