碩士 === 臺北市立大學 === 學習與媒材設計學系課程與教學碩士班 === 105 === This study aimed at designing an experiential visual arts teaching program suitable for fourth-grade primary school students, to improve learning outcomes for visual arts students and to advance teachers’ reflection and growth after the teaching process. This action research involved fourth-grade primary school students as research subjects, and was conducted over a period of 14 class sessions from February to March. This study gathered quantitative data primarily through Visual Arts Performance Sheet, Students’Art Works Score Sheet, and Students’ Learning Feedback Sheet, as well as qualitative data through Teachers’ Teaching Record Criticism Sheet, Teachers’ Interview Record, and Students’ Interview Record. The results of our study were as follows: 1.In this study, we used an experiential visual arts teaching method suitable for use with fourth-grade primary school students. The courses must utilize Kolb’s experiential learning cycle. Teachers were teaching by utilizing the dynamic loop model, selecting topics on campus, utilizing various teaching strategies, and applying discipline-oriented teaching assessment. 2.With experiential teaching, students display positive attitude toward classes. Experiential visual arts teaching also can effectively improve student performance in terms of cognition and skills. 3.In the research process, researchers derived many benefits by constantly reflecting on improving the course and teaching design according to curriculum theory and students’ learning performance, applying specialized solutions to teaching problems, and jointly applying the processes of dynamic curriculum design and action research in teaching.
