Abstract
This study investigates the current status, core components, and enhancement model of the art education management system for college administrators in Hebei Province, guided by three research objectives. A mixed-methods design was employed, integrating a quantitative survey of 584 administrators and art teachers from four independent art colleges—sampled using Cochran and Kish’s formulas to ensure representativeness—and qualitative in-depth interviews with 10 experts in art education management.
To address the first objective, descriptive statistics revealed the current implementation level of art education management across eight theoretical dimensions. For the second objective, exploratory factor analysis (EFA) identified eight empirically validated components: Curriculum and Course Management, Policy and Governance, Faculty Development, Digital Systems and Informatization, Student Affairs and Extracurricular, Assessment and Quality Assurance, Resources and Facilities Management, and External Partnerships and Cultural Integration. These components, comprising 92 items with factor loadings above 0.5, explained 65.85% of the total variance. For the third objective, a comprehensive management model was developed through grounded theory analysis of expert interviews and validated against national and provincial policy frameworks.
The proposed model integrates data-driven governance, rubric-based evaluation linked to resource allocation, and sustainable museum–school–industry collaboration pipelines. It offers a systematic framework aligned with Hebei’s digital transformation agenda and provides actionable recommendations for improving strategic planning, quality assurance, and cultural responsiveness in higher art education administration.
