Well-Designed Teaching Examples Influence the Outcome of Technology Acceptance: The Example of Next-Generation Art Process Learning

Abstract

With the upgrade of hardware and the consumer experience, the application of high-standard digital art technology to produce finished products is the current trend of digital entertainment visual development, through the application of next-generation art technology, which has become the basis for the application of the 3D digital media art industry. Based on the technology acceptance model, this study measured student acceptance of next-generation art production software by surveying students in two school districts who took a next-generation art course that used blended learning and worked examples. Intention to use was also assessed using variables such as the type of graduation project and the number of credits in the student’s major course. A total of 104 valid questionnaires were obtained from four classes in the fourth year of college. Specifically, students’ perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and attitudes toward using next-generation art software were determined, and correlations between students’ acceptance of next-generation art use and their willingness to use next-generation art methods were explored. The worked examples increased the acceptance and willingness of students with poor 3D technical skills to use next-generation art, but also allowed them to overestimate their technical skills.

Digital Storytelling in Education: A Transmedia Integration Approach for the Non-Developers

“…Nonetheless, the pandemic COVID-19 situation has made digital media and technological solutions a necessity in the educational process, with higher education students exhibiting remarkably adapting and engaging attitudes [46]. At the same time, well-designed examples can positively impact technology acceptance, further enhancing learning potentials by individualizing practice [47]. Nowadays, set plans gaining popularity rely on a combination of multiple teaching methods to maximize effectiveness [48].…”

“…Film/video and audio-only serious games have become very popular in this context, being broadly employed in modern education applications [61][62][63], with the audio track being considered critical in shaping the pace and the atmosphere of the digital narrations and interactions [54,[62][63][64]. Nonetheless, seamless interactivity is nowadays granted and deployed through the Web, allowing students to pick up and control their own learning pace and space [47,65]. Overall, to serve the above functionalities, someone needs access to audiovisual capturing and editing software along with gaming and web authoring tools.…”

“…Google Maps and Wordwall represent the main authoring tools for employing map-adapted presentations and gaming elements, again because of their simplicity and easy operation by average users. Finally, Google Classroom was selected to serve as the starting front end (launching page), utilizing its convenient deployment and configuration with the offered multidisciplinary learning functionalities [47] while controlling access to avoid misuse of the implicated educational resources. A more specific materialization of this plan is shown in Figure 3, which is accordingly analyzed in the associated results section.…”

“…Google Classroom is an online platform that facilitates online courses. The aim is to create an order through short procedures, in which it is possible to post tasks and material appearing in the students' diaries while augmenting communication between class members (both synchronous and asynchronous) [47]. Services include sharing codes, assets, or links with which the whole class can participate in the lesson, communicating with parents and guardians (to whom updates are automatically sent), and storing frequently used comments in the comments bank for quick, personalized responses.…”

Research on the development strategy of art industry based on RNN model

“…China has also started to pay attention to the development trend of this industry and has actively set up professional teams for the research and development of digital media technologies, investing a lot of money as well as manpower in this field [1][2]. Some developed cities in China, such as Beijing or Shanghai, have already started to set up relevant industrial bases internally, which can give digital media a broader space for development [3][4]. At the same time, China will continue to increase the research and development of relevant technologies, develop more high-end software products, and actively improve the service industry based on the application of information technology [5].…”
