ICT art education is currently prevailing at school. The purpose of this study
was to examine teacher-student interaction in digital environments. The findings of
the study were as follows;
First, a essential change in interaction should be taken into account when
computer contents or digital textbooks are used in class. In the past, instructors
just had to convey knowledge to learners, and learners just took instructor-led
lessons. In computer-aided instruction, however, instructors no longer have to take
the initiative. Instead, learners are able to proceed with instruction on their own,
and instructors should serve as assistants who help them acquire what they have
to learn. So the kind of environments that can facilitate changing teacher-student
interaction in the computer lab should be created.
Second, contents should be developed in a way to make it possible to offer
individualized teaching to learners. Thus, contents and digital textbooks should be
designed in a way to make it possible for learners to acquire the contents on their
own. In the past, there were just two kinds of contents: textbook and explanation.
The development of individualized contents enables instructors to tide over their
teaching difficulties, and that also contributes to the active class participation of
learners.
Third, the kind of programs that can lend assistance to instructors should be
conducted in the computer lab. The preparation of proper classroom environments
and educational programs is more important than that of digital contents to ensure
smooth education under the circumstances. As digital education is rapidly
widespread, computer labs are widely used in school instruction. So it's required
to look into how computer-based environments affect the knowledge construction
of learners and what roles instructors perform.
