Summary: | 碩士 === 淡江大學 === 教育科技學系 === 88 === The subject of the system designed and developed in this study is balance, one of the key elements of visual principles. The IMM Module and Flash 4.0 are adopted to develop the prototype, and the Guided Discovery Learning Theory is the main instructional strategy applied in the research.
From the content analysis, “the size”, “the number” of main objects, and “the relative position of the main objects and midline” are three key elements of visual balance. Based on the possibility combination of these elements, balance here is divided into twenty-five categories to help learners form their concept of balance. The system provides three masterpieces for each category, and, by image-process, each masterpiece was managed to have three versions of balance and non- balance examples. Through practicing all the examples, learners will start forming the balance concept of their own, and keep modifying it.
The treatment designed here in the system is as the following: Learners are asked to cast the rookie-investigators of NABI(National Art Bureau of Investigation), and their mission is to pass the balance training by discriminating between balance and non-balance paintings. After the mission completed, learners will get the promotion as system rewards.
The research attempts to develop the prototype as an online learning material which will contribute to the education of arts. And, the prototype and its developing process are presented here for the references of future studies in the field of educational technology in Taiwan.
