A Framework for Digital Literacy in Art Education in the Digital Transformation Era

In the era of digital transformation, discussions on digital literacy are actively progressing; however, a comprehensive and systematic concept of digital literacy within art education remains limited. Addressing this gap, this study aimed to develop a digital literacy framework specifically for art education and to define the essential digital competencies needed from the perspective of art education in the digital age. This study focused on the digital literacy framework proposed by Kim et al.(2023) and analyzed it in alignment with the achievement standards outlined in the 2022 rev. Korean National Art Curriculum for elementary to high school levels. Based on this analysis, this study developed the digital literacy framework for art subject that includes 3 major domains, 6 detailed components, 13 learning elements, and 24 specific learning items. Additionally, this study provided learning activities and guiding questions for each school level to strengthen the structure of the digital literacy framework. This study was significant for proposing and providing the systematic digital literacy framework for art education that is applicable across all school levels.
