The STEAM education was promoted in the U.S. in 2011. In Taiwan, the aesthetic education is included as one of the core competencies in the 12-Year Basic Education, indicating the importance of aesthetic education. Therefore, this study investigates the effect of integrating social media mobile application, Instagram, with aesthetic education activities on university students’ aesthetic experience and situational interest. The research design adopted a quasi-experimental research method with quantitative data analysis. Participants were assigned into a control group and an experimental group, which consisted of 32 and 34 participants, respectively. The control group used personal recording methods to complete the aesthetic photography activities, while the experimental group used the social media functionality of Instagram to share and record the work. Results showed that exploration intention and instant enjoyment of participants in the experimental group during the aesthetic education activities were higher than those of the control group. In addition, both the control and experimental groups showed no significant differences in their aesthetic experience after the activities. This study suggests that the integration of social media and mobile devices into learning activities has a positive effect on students’ situational interest. However, there is no difference in cultivating learners’ aesthetic experience. |
