Implications and Suggestions on China's Aesthetic Education Policy Based on the Use of Policy Tools
The aesthetic education policy in our country plays a decisive guiding role in school aes-thetic education practice.Policy tools serve as the connecting mechanism between policy texts,goals and actions,providing insights into the causes of policies,grasping patterns,and better promoting the scientif-ic development and improvement of national aesthetic education policies.This article collects and orga-nizes aesthetic education policy literature from 1985 to 2022,analyzing 33 aesthetic education policy texts.Following a two-dimensional matrix analysis framework of"policy tools-policy content",the cur-rent status of aesthetic education policies in China is presented through tool classification,text delinea-tion,and policy encoding.The research reveals that current aesthetic education policies consist of three modules:"overall objectives,main tasks,and management guarantees."These policies exhibit relatively limited use of"supply-type"policy tools,indicating room for improvement and adjustment.The impact generated by the use of"environmental-type"tools is more pronounced,suggesting the need for refining policy implementation guidelines.The use of"demand-type"tools is noticeably insufficient,indicating a need for strategies that enhance flexibility and precision.
