This study intends to present a new direction for arts and culture education by interpreting the experiences of arts and culture education based on connectivism learning theory of art instructors and teachers practicing arts and culture education in school from the perspective of connectivism and future arts and culture education. To this end, the research question was set as the meaning of arts and culture education experiences based on connectivism learning theory of art instructors and teachers in charge who are practicing arts and cultural education.
In this study, after defining the basic concept of arts and culture education to solve the research problem, we discussed theoretically about arts and culture education in schools, connectivism, the era of open learning, and the digital native generation. And as a future arts and culture education, the meaning and value of arts and culture education based on connectivism learning theory was analyzed. Next, a narrative inquiry method was used as a research method to interpret the future arts and culture education experiences of art instructors and elementary school teachers, the participants in this study, from the perspective of connectivism.
The results of analyzing the participants' arts and culture education experience from the perspective of connectivism and future arts and culture education are as follows. First, art instructors have formed their pride and identity as art instructors, arts and culture education experts, and artists even before working at Arte School. This process of identity formation put them in the position of experts as arts and culture education experts and artists, and became the starting point of arts and culture education based on connectivism learning theory at Arte School. Second, at Arte School, art instructors had a new experience of encountering the expansion of online education system and connectivism learning theory, and this experience led to the development and practice of a new arts and culture education program. Third, art instructors experience meeting with teachers at Arte School, learning and practicing connectivism, developing and practicing arts and culture education programs based on new connectivism learning theory, and experiencing connectivism learning theory-based culture as the direction of future arts and cultural education. I came to understand the value and meaning of art education. Since then, the development and practice of a new arts and culture education program at Arte School has been linked to the development and practice of a arts and culture education program based on connectivism learning theory elsewhere. Fourth, the new narrative of teachers who practiced the arts and culture education program developed by art instructors reaffirmed the value and meaning of arts and cultural education based on connectivism learning theory, which became a driving force for continuous research and development and practice.
The significance of this study is that the experience of development and practice of arts and culture education based on connectivism learning theory can suggest a direction as an alternative to new arts and culture education in the rapidly changing modern society and future society. In order to expand the value and meaning of arts and culture education based on connectivism learning theory in the future, more research and professional arts instructors and teachers should be developed.
