The goal of the master’s thesis is to determine the influence of teaching means and materials
on both successful learning of different art concepts and the ability to depict motifs by using
different art materials.
The theoretical part of the master degree describes both the analysis of special teaching
means and their adaptation for certain parts of arts and design lessons. The input hypothesis
claims that the usage of ICT (such as digital animation, Internet, social networks etc.) at arts
and design is more and more frequent. What is more important is to what extent does ICT
clarify arts and design lessons.
The empirical part of the thesis is divided into two parts. The first one presents survey results.
The comparison of different teaching means and materials, teaching experience, teachers’
needs and their performance in the years 2005 and 2015 is described in detail.
The second part of the empirical study describes the implications of a quasi-experimental
method in the learning process of 14-year olds by using different teaching means, analogue
and digital materials.
The results of the research enables better understanding of a teacher’s use of different
teaching means in order to meet students’ understanding and interpretation of different art
concepts, materials and expedients. The goal is to raise students’ motivation for art and
develop their independence and creativity.
The evaluation of the research results in a renewed didactic quality of arts and design. Based
on the findings, some guidelines on creative planning and performing art tasks are introduced.
