THE DEVELOPMENT CREATIVITY IN THE VISUAL ARTS SUBJECT USING DEVIES’ PRACTICAL SKILLS TEACHING MODEL COMBINED WITH SKILL EXERCISES OF FIFTH-YEAR PRIMARY SCHOOL STUDENTS

Abstract

This research aims to 1) compare creativity in the visual arts subject using the Davies teaching model combined with skills exercises between pre- and post-learning, and 2) study student satisfaction with the learning management using the Davies teaching model along with skills exercises. The research is quasi-experimental and conducted according to a one-group research design, testing before and after learning. The sample consisted of 19 fifth-grade students, selected through a multi-stage sampling method. The research instruments included: 1) a lesson plan for the visual arts subject using the Davies teaching model with skills exercises, 2) a creativity assessment in the visual arts subject, and 3) a satisfaction assessment regarding the learning management in the visual arts subject using the Davies teaching model combined with skills exercises. Statistical analysis methods included percentages, means, and standard deviations, with hypothesis testing using the dependent t-test. The findings revealed that 1) creativity in the visual arts subject after learning was significantly higher than before learning at the .05 level, and 2) fifth-grade students' overall satisfaction with the learning management in the visual arts subject using the Davies teaching model with skills exercises was at a very high level                      (= 4.66, S.D. = 0.47)
