The purposes of this research were 1) To develop the training coursebasedon nondirective teaching theory to improve visual communication design abilityof undergraduate students and 2) To compare students’ visual communicationdesignability before and after training course based on nondirective teaching theory. Thesample group were 38 fourth-year students in fine arts major of the QingdaoUniversity, Qingdao, China, in the second semester of the academic year 2023. Through cluster random sampling. The research instruments involved 1) Activityplanaccording to the nondirective teaching theory and 2) Visual communicationdesignability test (multiple-choice test and performance test). Data were statisticallyanalyzed by mean, standard deviation, and t-test for dependent samples. The findings were revealed that 1) The development of training course based on nondirective teachingtheory to improve visual communication design ability of undergraduate students hassynthesized into5 steps: 1) Study stage, 2) Discussionstage, 3) Thinking stage, 4) Planningcreation stage, and 5) Summary analysis stage, as well as taking used to developanactivity plan according to the nondirective teaching theory. The results are shownthequality of the activity plan by experts overall, the suitability of the researchobjectives has the most suitable. 2) The visual communication design ability of fourth-year students fromQingdao University after the experiment was higher than that before the experimentat significance level .01.
