Abstract


This study focused on the Yuehua Secondary Vocational School students in Dezhou City. The objectives of this research were: (1) study the cooperative learning method’s impact on the emotional involvement of art majors in secondary vocational schools, (2) to investigate how students’ emotional involvement influences their learning outcomes and artistic creativity literacy in the context of cooperative learning methods at the criteria of 70%, and (3) to examine the effect of emotional involvement affected on learning outcomes and artistic creativity. Krejcie and Morgan’s table shows that the research sample included 1400 students, with a subset of 302 students, who finally participated in this study. The research employed a mixed-methods approach, combining both quantitative and qualitative analysis. To interpret the data, statistical analysis was conducted using percentages, means (M), standard deviations (SD), and narrative analysis. The primary research tools were questionnaires, tests, and lesson plans. The results revealed that: (1) the overall mean score for all variables was 3.76, with a standard deviation of 0.88, indicating a generally high level of agreement among respondents; (2) based on the test results, 70% of the students who participated showed that emotional involvement positively affected their learning outcomes and artistic creativity, as evidenced by the majority receiving grades of “Very Good” or “Excellent”; and 3) after implementing the emotional involvement difference before learning outcomes and artistic creativity literacy at the mean of 58 with a standard deviation of 0.98. These findings suggested that cooperative learning methods significantly enhanced students’ emotional involvement, positively influencing their academic performance and creative abilities. The study underscored the importance of creating emotionally engaging cooperative learning environments. Recommendations included personalizing learning approaches, strengthening teacher-student relationships, providing professional development for teachers, and incorporating technology to boost emotional involvement and creative outcomes further. Future research should explore the longitudinal impacts and the integration of advanced educational technologies to improve cooperative learning strategies continuously.
