Printmaking Courses in Distance Education Process
Öz
This study aimed to investigate academics' perceptions of printmaking courses held during the distance education period in art universities in Turkey. Given today's understanding of art, the courses in which creativity plays an essential role and new techniques are applied need to be reorganized and developed with solid content. Printmaking holds a significant position in fine arts as it offers students who want to improve themselves and their technique the opportunity to express themselves with many techniques and materials. This paper aims to identify the difficulties, advantages, and disadvantages of academics, workshop leaders, and practice-based
courses in the distance education model and their views on the process. A questionnaire developed by the researchers was presented to 30 academics who taught printmaking, an applied course, in Turkey through the distance education model. The questions were based on the questionnaire communication methods and techniques, academics' competence in distance
education, students' performance, and their needs and difficulties. The data was collected electronically via "Google Forms." The data obtained from this survey were analyzed and interpreted using the SPSS program. The study was limited to the printmaking course only. Based
on the data analyzed, suggestions were made for making printmaking courses more efficient and effective in distance education. When the data obtained from the academics' answers to the questions in the questionnaire are studied, it can be said that the distance education model involves many more difficulties than face-to-face teaching, removes it from the quality educational environment, and causes challenges to achieving the objectives.
