A Brief Analysis of the Current Situation and Reform Ideas of Calligraphy General Education in Higher Education Institutions
General education in calligraphy within higher education institutions aims to provide calligraphy education to college students who are not majoring in this discipline.This initiative plays a significant role in enhancing students'aesthetic appreciation and cultural literacy,fostering their overall development,and promot-ing the inheritance of calligraphy as well as the dissemination of excellent traditional Chinese culture.To advance the development of general education in calligraphy,we conducted questionnaire surveys among stu-dents from various disciplines across multiple colleges and universities in southern Fujian.The findings revealed a high interest in calligraphy among students;however,their proficiency levels were generally unsatis-factory.Based on these insights,we propose several reform ideas for general education in calligraphy:First,it is essential to differentiate general education from specialized calligraphy education and establish appropriate expectations for students.Second,the curriculum should be thoughtfully organized,integrating a standardized general education textbook with localized content.Third,we must embrace contemporary advancements in tech-nology to enhance teaching methods and ensure scientific approaches to education.Lastly,we recommend implementing evaluation methods that are suitable for general education contexts.
