The Dilemma and Path Reconstruction of School Aesthetics in Xianyang City and County, China

Abstract

This study addresses the issues restricting students' all-round development in aesthetic education at schools in Xianyang County, such as cognitive biases, uneven resource allocation, and insufficient home-school cooperation. Aiming to analyze the practical dilemmas in aesthetic education, it proposes path reconstruction strategies for implementing the "three-party parenting" system (involving schools, families, and society). The research employs a questionnaire survey (340 valid responses collected) and semi-structured interviews (with 50 teachers, 225 students, and parents), combined with policy text analysis, to systematically sort out problems and countermeasures. Results reveal core issues including the marginalization of school aesthetic education, teachers' insufficient interdisciplinary competencies, weak family support, and unequal resource distribution. The study concludes that comprehensive policy designs are needed across multiple dimensions: strengthening teacher professional training, deepening home-school collaboration mechanisms, integrating local cultural resources, and reforming evaluation mechanisms. These measures aim to break through current bottlenecks and enable aesthetic education to play its due role in cultivating students' comprehensive qualities.
