  • Virtuaalitodellisuuden hyödyntäminen kuvataiteen opetuksessa : "Ei sitä ainaista tyhjän paperin kammoa" 
    Nurminen, Kirsikka (2022)
    The purpose of this master’s study was to examine how and in what ways virtual reality has been used in art education in Finland. In addition, the aim was to examine and analyse what kind of advantages virtual reality can bring to art education. Previous research around the world have shown that virtual reality in education purposes can increase students’ spatial skills and motivation and it can enable new learning experiences. In this study, the results are being compared to the national core curricula of basic education and high school education. This study was carried out using qualitative methods as a multi-case study. The research material was collected by thematic interviews, including interviews of three art teachers and two high school students, who all had used virtual reality in art education during the last three years. Content analysis was utilized in the analysis of the material. In this study, virtual reality was used in a very student-oriented manner in both basic aducation’s and high school education’s art lessons, giving students the freedom to implement their own ideas and visions. The study showed that the use of virtual reality in art education enabled new kinds of experiences that would probably not have been achieved otherwise during art lessons. In addition, virtual reality enabled nearly limitless possibilities, supported creativity, and reduced the so called fear of blank canvas. Based on this study, virtual reality seems to offer new possibilites to fulfill the contents and achieve the goals of the national curricula.
