Abstract

Aesthetic education, as a vital vehicle for fostering virtue and nurturing talent, has seen its value elevated to unprecedented heights in the new era. Music education, as a core component of aesthetic education, plays a foundational role in building the professional competencies of preschool education majors. However, three major challenges currently plague music courses in university preschool education programs: fragmentation of curriculum, lack of practical platforms, and ambiguous evaluation standards. These issues hinder students' musical literacy from meeting the demands of aesthetic education practices in kindergartens. This study, grounded in the policy framework of the “Opinions on Comprehensively Strengthening and Improving School Aesthetic Education in the New Era,” addresses the practical issue of weak musical literacy among university early childhood education majors by exploring a systematic cultivation pathway. Through literature analysis, questionnaire surveys, and action research, it proposes an integrated cultivation model comprising four dimensions: “curriculum restructuring, methodological innovation, practice reinforcement, and evaluation reform.”.
