Analysis of Research Trends on the Use of Artificial Intelligence in Convergence Art Education in Korea

Objectives The purpose of this study is to derive implications for the use of artificial intelligence for convergence art education by analyzing the current status and teaching and learning methods of domestic convergence art education using artificial intelligence. Methods To this end, data collection was selected a total of 25 studies that clearly presented teaching and learning methods by searching artificial intelligence-related studies in the field of convergence arts education among papers published in domestic journals by June 2024 using the database of the Research Information Sharing Service (RISS) and the Korean Journal Citation Index (KCI). The data analysis was categorized and analyzed based on the publication year, educational subjects, convergence subjects, teaching and learning methods, AI learning tools, and educational effect through literature analysis. Results As a result of the analysis, first, the number of artificial intelligence -related studies in convergence art education was 25 from 2017 to June 2024, which is gradually increasing according to the recent changes in education. Second, new attempts were being made for elementary school students, middle school students, and college students as the subject of education. Third, the convergence subject had a lot of convergence with art, design, and music. Fourth, the teaching and learning method was centered on 'Experience/Practice' and 'Project-Based Learning' for creation, presentation, and appreciation. Fifth, it was possible to confirm high interest in visual images such as image generation, VR, AR of AI learning tools. Sixth, the educational effect was found to be effective in improving creativity and thinking ability. Conclusions Artificial intelligence is changing the way art is created and enjoyed, and it has a direct impact on the teaching and learning methods of art education, so in-depth discussions are needed.
