The impact of art therapy on increasing the motivation of primary school students to learn

Abstract

In the modern education system, an important issue is the improvement of methods to increase the motivation of primary school students to learn. So, in the course of the study, we will consider the impact of art therapy on increasing the motivation of primary school students to learn. We will also study the relationship and influence of the concepts of motivation and art therapy on each other. The main purpose of the study is an experimental study in order to theoretically substantiate the effect of art therapy on increasing the motivation of younger schoolchildren to study. In addition, the development and testing of a set of art therapy classes aimed at increasing the motivation of primary school students to study. 40 primary school students took part in the practical experiment. The experimental group consisted of 20 students who took part in the study. In addition, primary school students implemented a set of art therapy classes in order to increase motivation to learn. The remaining 20 students were included in the control group and did not participate in the complex of developed lessons. The research work consisted of three stages. At the initial stage, the level of motivation of younger students to study was revealed. The formative stage — a set of art therapy classes has been developed and implemented to increase the motivation of primary school students to study and evaluate its effectiveness. At the control stage, the dynamics of the level of increased motivation to teach younger schoolchildren was studied and the effectiveness of the complex of classes with the help of art therapy was tested.
