Art education -- Sustainable development

Higher education institutions -- Sichuan Province

This study aimed to examine the current state of art education in higher
education institutions in Sichuan Province, develop a model for its sustainable
development, and evaluate the suitability and feasibility of implementing this model. The research focused on personnel involved in the sustainable development of art education in nine normal colleges in Sichuan Province, with a sample of 384 students, 291 full-time art education teachers, and 274 art education administrators, randomly selected from these institutions. The study employed a mixed-methods approach, utilizing questionnaires, interview forms, focus group discussion records, and evaluation forms as research tools. Additionally, SWOT and TOWS analysis tools were applied to gain a comprehensive understanding of the current challenges and opportunities in art education within these institutions.

The findings revealed that art education in higher education institutions in
Sichuan Province faces significant challenges related to system and governance, curriculum design, insufficient teaching staff, practical art education, and evaluation methods, resulting in an overall moderate level
( = 3.43). Based on an in-depth analysis of the current situation and expert interviews, a sustainable development model for art education was constructed, consisting of six key aspects, 15 secondary indicators, and 38
specific measures. The model encompasses art education training goals, art education practice systems, curriculum frameworks, teaching staff development, system and governance improvements, and quality enhancement in art education.
Expert evaluations indicated that the proposed model has high suitability and
feasibility, with average suitability scores ranging from 4.00 to 4.40 and feasibility scores ranging from 4.00 to 4.50, demonstrating its strong applicability in practice. The findings provide both a theoretical foundation and a practical implementation framework for reforming and advancing the sustainable development of art education. By addressing the critical gaps in policy, resource allocation, and pedagogical strategies, this model aims to enhance the overall quality and effectiveness of art education. Ultimately, the
study seeks to contribute to the comprehensive and sustainable development of human capital in the higher education sector, ensuring that art education remains a vital and evolving field within Sichuan Province's academic landscape.
