Abstract

This article aims to study guidelines for developing contemporary art activity packages for upper elementary school students, using the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre as a case study. A mixed-methods research design was employed and carried out in three phases: 1) a review of related literature and previous studies; 2) a study of perspectives and opinions of art teachers, with a sample group of 102 art teachers from primary schools in Bangkok, selected through purposive sampling. The research instrument was an online questionnaire, with content validity verified by experts using the Index of Item-Objective Congruence (IOC); and 3) a focus group discussion to explore the views of relevant stakeholders, involving 15 experts, including 8 art teachers, 1 school administrator, 2 educational supervisors, 2 contemporary art specialists, and 2 staff members from the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre, also selected through purposive sampling. The research instrument was a set of focus group questions validated by experts using the IOC. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, while qualitative data were analyzed through content analysis. The research results can be summarized into five principles: developing a positive perspective on contemporary art through foundational understanding, observing artworks, and creating art; enhancing the perception of contemporary art through observation, analysis, connection, and reflection; integrating the content with the Basic Education Core Curriculum and classroom teaching context; selecting age-appropriate examples of contemporary art; and driving the learning process with the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre as the central hub.
