Traditional arts and crafts elements and modern art design teaching relieve student attention deficit

Abstract

BackgroundIn modern society, the issue of student attention deficit is becoming increasingly common, posing challenges to education and teaching. From the perspective of educational psychology, the integration of traditional arts and crafts elements into modern art design teaching may have a positive impact on students’ attention deficit. This study aims to explore the impact of integrating traditional arts and crafts elements with modern art design teaching on students’ attention deficit, and provide corresponding teaching strategies.Subjects and Methods This study adopts a combination of quantitative and qualitative research methods, selecting 300 students from three different art colleges as the research subjects. These students were randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group, with 150 students in each group. The experimental group was taught the integration of traditional arts and crafts elements with modern art design, while the control group was taught conventional modern art design. During the process, the SNAP-IV-18 scale was used to evaluate the status of students before and after the intervention. Statistics on data were performed by using SPSS24.0 software.ResultsThe research results show that the experimental group of students showed significant improvements in attention concentration, sustained attention, and attention transfer. At the same time, they also scored high in creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving abilities.ConclusionsResearch has shown that the integration of traditional arts and crafts elements with modern art design in teaching from the perspective of educational psychology can help alleviate students’ attention deficits, and improve their creativity and critical thinking abilities.
