Research on the Pathways for Cultivating Core Competencies in Contemporary College Students through Art and Aesthetics Courses

Abstract

This paper focuses on exploring pathways for cultivating core competencies in contemporary university students through art and aesthetic education courses. By analyzing the essence of art and aesthetic education courses and the composition of core competencies in university students, it highlights their close interconnection. Current courses face issues such as unreasonable curriculum design, uneven distribution of educational resources, and monotonous teaching methods. Based on this analysis, the paper proposes cultivation pathways including optimizing curriculum design, enriching teaching resources, innovating teaching methods, and improving evaluation systems. These aim to enhance students' core competencies such as aesthetic literacy and innovative abilities, providing reference for art and aesthetic education in higher education institutions.
