dc.description.abstract | The aim of this study is to examine
the relationship between the attitudes of students who continue their education
in the field of art education towards contemporary art and their personal and
educational characteristics. Within the scope of the research carried out with the
general screening model, there are 515 students who continue their education in
the art-related departments of a university. The data of the research were
obtained with the Student Information Form and the Contemporary Art Scale. It
has been observed that students' attitudes towards contemporary art are at a
moderate level. The attitudes of female students towards contemporary art are
more positive than male students, and students residing in the city compared to
students residing in villages. It has been determined that fourth grade students
have more positive attitudes towards contemporary art than first grade students.
On the other hand, it was determined that students' attitudes towards
contemporary art did not change according to faculty and department. In line
with these results, it is suggested that the inclusion of contemporary art courses
in art-related undergraduate programs will positively affect attitudes towards
contemporary art, and that these courses should be supported by activities such
as workshops, exhibitions, biennials, and museum visits. | tr |
