Abstract

The construction of aesthetic education curriculum in middle and primary schools is a necessary measure to promote the comprehensive development of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics, and labor. School education is the main channel for achieving the goal of aesthetic education. However, a survey of middle and primary school teachers from 26 provinces and cities in China reveals that there are still many important problems in the implementation of aesthetic education, including unclear content and value of aesthetic education, lack of content in aesthetic education curriculum, single organizational form, outdated methods, and inadequate supervision system for aesthetic education curriculum, and so on. This research proposes strategies for improvement based on the current situation of aesthetic education curriculum in middle and primary schools
