The Role of the Arts in Education from the Perspective of Psychology and Historiography of Education
Journal: Journal of Higher Education Research DOI: 10.32629/jher.v6i3.4124
Abstract
The role of arts education in the education system cannot be underestimated. Through the study of the importance of art education in Chinese school education from the perspectives of psychology and educational history, the symbiotic relationship between art and education has been strongly supported by the analysis of psychology and educational history. Psychology proposes a suitable method to study the mental activities, behaviors, and emotions of students. According to this, art is widely used in education to help educators solve the psychological problems and growth problems of the educated, and at the same time, the teacher-student relationship is improved. In contrast, the historiography of education helps educators avoid making the same or similar mistakes in current and future education by summarizing and learning from past experiences. At the same time, the transformation of the role of art in the history of education is in line with the changes of the times and the needs of art education.
