The Impact of Digital Technologies on Training Art Students to Achieve Sustainable Development Goals
Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the impact of digital technologies in the education of Art students in their knowledge and attitude towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). A survey was used in this study to determine the students’ digital literacy, as well as to identify their level of knowledge of the Sustainable Development Goals and their attitude towards these goals. Mathematical methods of data processing, Cronbach’s Alpha, Kaiser’s Measure, and Pearson correlation coefficient were also applied. It was found that the level of digital literacy, as well as the knowledge and attitude of students towards the SDGs, depend on their major. It is also assumed that the students’ attitude towards the SDGs depends on the political, economic, and social situation in the country. The results of the research complement the existing theoretical knowledge, and also recommend the methodology for determining the impact of digital technologies on shaping students’ attitudes towards the SDGs. It can be tested for other majors as well.
