Objectives: This study investigates the effectiveness of a digital arts-based teaching strategy in enhancing artistic production skills among ninth-grade students in Jordan. It aims to explore how digital tools and creative approaches can be integrated into art education to foster students’ functional, aesthetic, and evaluative skills.
Methods: The research employed a quasi-experimental design involving 56 ninth-grade students from the Pioneer Educational Schools in Jordan, divided into experimental and control groups. Data were collected using a specially designed achievement test and a 27-item evaluation rubric covering five key dimensions: the functional aspect, processing, aesthetic and structural foundations, structural system, and evaluation.
Results: Statistical analysis showed a significant improvement in the experimental group's performance compared to the control group, suggesting that the digital arts-based strategy had a notable impact on skill development.
Conclusions: The study concludes that incorporating digital arts into the curriculum significantly supports the advancement of students’ creative abilities and recommends its broader application in primary education.
