Analyzing the Motivation of the Students in the Art Faculty for Learning Programming

In order to analyze the factors that raise the motivation of students in the art design faculty and digital design faculty to learn programming, a programming course using processing programming environment was offered to the students at two universities. The teaching materials used were designed in accordance with the ARCS motivation model, and the SIEM assessment standard was used to evaluate students´ motivation levels. It has been found that in order to maintain or raise students´ motivation it is more important to allow students to enjoy seeing the final results (artwork) of the programming than to make them strive to create more beautiful artwork.
