Razvoj digitalnih kompetencija i njihov uticaj na inovativne pristupe u nastavnoj praksi studenata i studentica Akademije likovnih umjetnosti Univerziteta u Sarajevu

Abstract

The development of new technologies has a significant impact on many artistic fields, with work processes redefined and new digital tools can join analog ones to become a continuation of the creator's hand. The goal of this research is to determine the possibility of using digital and analog tools in art education. The research was conducted among students/future teachers, with the aim of determining the extent to which digital and analog tools are suitable for certain art design, and to examine the methodological specifics of the implementation of such classes. The research “Development of digital competences and their influence on innovative approaches in the teaching practice of students of the Academy of Fine Arts of the University of Sarajevo” foresees a series of activities, which require that students, through lectures, seminars and workshops, become familiar with new possibilities of digital and analog tools, and to implement the acquired knowledge in their teaching practice. The impact of the research is reflected in the strengthening of students' output competencies, their preparation for independent activity in the primary educational context. Digital and analog tools, along with the application of the general laws of visual language, will have an empowering effect on students and future teachers, but also on the end users of the acquired knowledge, that is, on the students of Canton Sarajevo primary schools. The use of digital and analog tools for the purpose of creating an art solution will enable all participants of the research activities to develop a wide range of creative skills and expand their output digital competences, as well as easier design and construction of a personal art manuscript. The results of the research can be a real incentive for the modernization of the university education program, the lifelong training program for art teachers, and current and future teaching practices, which primarily want to respond to the challenges of social aspirations.
