The Role of Using a Digital Interface to Enable Lower Secondary Students to Adopt Good Habits

Abstract

Today, increasing living standards and the endless options that life offers to people create several uncertainties. People who do not know what to do and cannot discover what is good for them may experience difficulties in life. Not intervening in the types of behaviors acquired through human life at an early school age leads people to feelings of stress and boredom which cause them to form bad habits and sometimes appeal to violence. In addition, young people's bad habits also blunt their artistic creativity and design skills. In this paper, it was briefly mentioned how habits are shaped in individuals and how good and bad habits are formed. The study also focuses on the reasons why young students appeal to violence and how it can be prevented through art education. A digital interface has been designed to help students aged 11-14 to stay away from violence and bad habits therefore adopt good habits. The aim is to evaluate this interface, which will be used in art classes, in line with the opinions of field educators and experts. Since it is more difficult to change habits in adults and the elderly than in young people and children when it comes to external intervention, students aged 11-14 were selected as the study area, and in this context, secondary school teachers, pedagogues, and expert designers were selected as the sample and their opinions were consulted.
