Methodology for Developing Students’ Technological Thinking Based on Art Design in a Digital Education Environment

Abstract

This study theoretically and practically examines the issue of developing students’ technological thinking based on art design in the context of digital education. The main purpose of the research is to identify the pedagogical potential of art design and to scientifically substantiate its use as a means of forming students’ technological and creative competencies in a digital learning environment [1], [2].

The article reveals the essence of the concept of technological thinking and highlights its role in the process of training modern specialists. The research is based on constructivist and competency-based approaches and employs pedagogical observation, questionnaires, diagnostic tests, and experimental methods.

During the experimental process, digital projects based on art design, visual modeling tasks, and interactive learning modules were actively used. The results demonstrate a significant improvement in students’ problem-solving thinking, visual analysis skills, conscious use of technological tools, and the level of creative approach.

The conclusions of the study confirm that the art design approach is an effective pedagogical tool that activates the educational process in digital learning environments, promotes students’ formation as active subjects of learning, and enhances their innovative potential. The proposed methodology is recommended for implementation in higher education institutions in accordance with modern educational requirements [3].
