Non-Option Teachers' Knowledge of Visual Arts Language

Abstract

This study was conducted to identify the level of knowledge of non-option teachers regarding the language adjustment of visual arts in the teaching of Visual Arts Education subjects, as well as their existing knowledge. The study employed a quantitative design using a survey method, with a questionnaire as the instrument. The sample consisted of 102 non-option teachers from national secondary schools in Sarawak. The data obtained were analyzed using descriptive statistics, including the analysis of the mean score and standard deviation. The findings indicated that the proficiency level of non-option teachers in visual arts language adjustment was moderate, with a mean score of 3.14. Additionally, the study revealed that the teachers' existing knowledge of the visual arts language was also at a moderate level, with a mean score of 3.17. Therefore, the findings suggest that more specific and continuous training programs may be needed, along with consultations with expert teachers.
