Abstract
VİEWS OF VİSUAL ARTS TEACHERS AND FACULTY MEMBERS ON VİSUAL ARTS LESSON
The purpose of this research is to examine the views of visual arts teachers and faculty members working in the field of visual arts about the visual arts course. In the research, phenomenology design, one of the qualitative research methods, was used. The study group of the research consists of 18 visual arts teachers working in public and private schools in Sivas Province Center and Districts in the 2020-2021 academic year, and 5 faculty members working in the field of visual arts at Sivas Cumhuriyet University. Visual arts teachers and lecturers participating in the research were selected with the criterion sampling method, which is one of the purposeful sampling methods. In the collection of data, two separate forms, semi-structured teacher interview form and lecturer interview form, were used. The findings obtained in the research were analyzed using the content analysis method through the Nvivo Plus program. As a result, 24 categories (interest in the lesson, enjoying the lesson, willingness for lesson activities…), 35 codes (anxiety about the future, not knowing enough about the field, focusing…) and 62 categories (against the lesson…) of the views of the lecturer interest, enjoying the lesson, willingness for lesson activities…) 88 codes (according to age group, activity level, seeing the lesson as unnecessary…) were determined. According to the findings of the research, it was revealed that the only parent's attitude, which the students liked the lesson and considered important, affected the student's opinion significantly, and the attitudes of the parents were generally negative towards the lesson. While the teachers drew attention to the fact that there should be a workshop in the school in order for the courses to be conducted in a qualified manner.
