An Integrative Model of the Art School Educational Environment with Augmented Reality Application
摘要
The relevance of the research topic is pre-determined by the issue of improving the quality of education, requiring the development of an integrative model of the educational environment for art schools in the digital age. The problem of the research is the integration of augmented reality digital tools and teachers’ digital competencies into the training young artists as part of the integrate educational environment of the art school. The subsequent task is the eliciting the competencies that an arts teacher should develop for successful teaching performance in an integrative educational environment and ensuring its sustainable functioning. The aim of the study is to theoretically substantiate, develop and test an integrative model for the formation of the integrate educational environment of an art school using augmented reality technology. The targeted model is focused on the gradual expansion of pedagogical resources for teaching young artists by appropriate use of digital data and tools. It admits appropriate complement of traditional educational technologies with digital ones in order to ensure high quality of education and vocational training, advanced personal and aesthetic-creative development of learners. It presupposes development of blended educational environment and purposeful application of augmented reality techniques. The research hypothesis: Integrated educational environment model will prove efficient under the following condition: (a) augmented reality educational techniques application; (b) fine arts teachers expand digital skills in applying AR techniques; (c) fine arts teachers apply augmented reality (and augmented virtuality) techniques. The methodology of the research is based on systemic, complementary and complex approaches. Pedagogical experimentation was conducted to collect empirical research data. Statistical analysis was applied in input and output data interpretation. Key research results: the content and structure of the integrated educational environment of an art school defined; digital and professional competencies of a teacher of fine arts de-scribed; an integrative model of the formation of an educational environment of an art school using augmented reality technology developed and tested. The integrative model of the art school educational environment ensures formation of young artists’ aesthetic culture in unity of their personal, artistic, creative and art criticism competencies.
