Effect of Learning Management Using Project-Based Learning on Graphic Design Ability of Sophomore Students at Suzhou Institute of Art and Design, the People's Republic of China

Abstract

Background and Aim: The twenty-first Century is the digital era, with the rapid development of science and technology. Schools and all levels of educational institutes, as places that educate theoretical knowledge to students and develop their practical ability revising the plan and supplementing the teaching materials include developing teaching and learning strategies to promote student abilities and 21st-century skills. The current situation in many art and design institutes are quality of learning and teaching especially strategies to improve the design ability of students according to the trend of graphic design at the global level. Graphic design ability is one of the major abilities of a student who studies in the field of fine and applied art previous educators researched and reported that Learning Management Using Project-Based Learning (PBL) combines curriculum with practice to improve students' initiative, stimulate students' flexible use of knowledge to solve practical problems, and can support the student to develop ability skill and competency. This research aim is composed of 1) to study students' Graphic Design Ability after Learning Management Using project-based learning (PBL) and 2) To assess Students' Satisfaction with Learning Management Using project-based learning (PBL). Materials and Methods: Instruments were (1) an Instrument for the experiment a Lesson plan: 5 lesson plans each lesson plan for 3 hours, 15 hours in total, (2) an Instrument for collecting data composed of: 1) Graphic design ability evaluation form 2) Student satisfaction questionnaire. Methods were (1) The samples were Learned toward learning management using project-based learning. (2) After the samples learned about learning management using project-based learning. The samples were evaluated for Graphic Design Ability by evaluation and student satisfaction through a satisfaction questionnaire. Results: Found that: (1) After learning management using project-based learning, students’ Graphic Design Ability was which was statistically higher than the determined criterion set 70%. (2) After learning management using project-based learning students’ satisfaction with Learning Management Using project-based learning was high level. Conclusion: After learning management using project-based learning, students’ Graphic Design Ability of student statistically higher than the determined criterion set of 70%. and students’ satisfaction with learning management using project-based learning was high level.
