Description
The purpose of the current research is to explore the Chinese primary and middle school teachers’ perceptions of arts education in schools. The presentation will focus on reporting two research questions:1) What is the value of arts education in schools?, and 2) What are the challenges and coping strategies in implementing arts education in Chinese schools? In order to answer these questions, an online questionnaire was distributed to shanghai primary and middle school teachers, and 344 responses were received. The result will be introduced in detail in the presentation. In summary, by examining the viewpoints of Shanghai teachers on arts education within schools, this research brings to light the values, challenges, and potential solutions associated with the implementation of arts education within the Chinese educational context. Furthermore, the research might be able to contribute valuable and contextual information to the broader global discussion on arts education.
