Abstract

Teachers who teach the Visual Arts courses, including many disciplines, graduate from the Department of Visual Art Education of the Education Faculties. Before graduating, prospective teachers take Basic Design, Drawing, and Perspective courses in the first year as practice courses in the department, and Main Art Studios and Elective Art Studios courses in the second, third and fourth grades as part of their field courses. Nine different courses were stipulated by the Higher Education Council for the main art and elective art studios, which have different varieties according to the universities. Prospective teachers have the opportunity to take courses from four different studios until they graduate, one of which is the main art studio and three of which are elective art studios, and they are trained in different disciplines. Technology, widely used in today's education and training programs, has also maintained its effectiveness in the art education process. Innovations in educational technology save time for teachers in terms of teaching methods, and as it becomes easier for teaching to reach students, they also can learn faster. In this sense, the most used technologies are computers and the Internet. The Internet and computers have given individuals the speed of access to information and opportunities for online education. As of 2020, the online education process has accelerated worldwide due to the global pandemic. In this process, there were numerous programs for the teaching staff to conduct their courses, reach students and make applications in practice courses. Some of these programs have been used within the bounds of possibility. As a result, the time provided by the programs used in the distance education of the applied courses in the transfer of information to the instructor and the student's access to the information has been shortened; besides, difficulties such as getting to know the student and understanding the student have emerged.
