Abstract

We analyzed the first-year program in college aesthetic education that is promoted by the Ministry of Education in Taiwan. Students need to take 11 general courses related to aesthetics in the four majors in art. Using a Student Aesthetic Literacy Questionnaire, we analyzed the aesthetic literacy of 608 students using the Levene test, the Shapiro-Wilk test, the Kruskal-Wallis test, and the Dunn test. The results were analyzed to understand whether the students had different aesthetic literacy and performances by gender, grade, and college. At the same time, the correlation between the number of aesthetic-related courses taken, the number of times for aesthetic-related activities, and their self-aesthetic literacy was investigated. Female students were better at Visual Art Expression and Appreciation Skills than male students. To continue to promote aesthetic education programs, it is demanded to offer more diversified related courses and activities than at present. It is also necessary to conduct more targeted questionnaire surveys for future development.
