Designing an Educational Intervention Package to Enhance Students' Artistic Intelligence Based on the Lived Experiences of Top Talents

Abstract

This study aimed to design and evaluate the effectiveness of an educational intervention package to enhance students' artistic intelligence based on the lived experiences of top talents in the field of art. This qualitative study employed a qualitative content analysis method, collecting data through semi-structured interviews with 15 university professors and art experts. Participants were selected through purposive sampling based on theoretical saturation. The interviews were analyzed and coded based on Gardner’s multiple intelligences theory and artistic creativity assessment tools, including the Torrance Test of Creative Thinking (TTCT) and Clark’s Drawing Abilities Test (CDAT). The designed intervention package consisted of 12 educational sessions focusing on imagination, critical thinking, visual creativity, and artistic interactions. Content validity was confirmed using CVR and CVI indices. Data analysis indicated that the intervention package significantly improved students' creative skills, visual perception, ability to analyze artworks, and social interactions. Moreover, the findings showed that incorporating the lived experiences of experts had a substantial impact on enhancing artistic intelligence. The Content Validity Ratio (CVR) was 0.73, and the Content Validity Index (CVI) was 0.79, indicating satisfactory content validity for the package. The findings suggest that art education can significantly contribute to the development of students' artistic intelligence and cognitive abilities. The designed intervention package can serve as an effective educational tool, enhancing creative thinking, visual analysis, and emotional regulation in students.
