Abstract: Pre-service teachers in the"Excellent Teacher Program"(优 师 计f 刘)are a key cohortcultivated at Beijing Normal University's Zhuhai Campus.Their aesthetic education competenceis important for improving the quality of basic education.This study takes the course Appreciationof Chinese and Foreign Educational Films as the research object.It adopts a mixed-methodsdesign that combines questionnaires and interviews. The study conducts targeted monitoringacross three dimensions:(1)foundations of aesthetic education,(2)learning gains from thecourse,and(3)course evaluation.Participants include students in the"Excellent TeacherProgram,"publicly funded(tuition-free)normal university students,and some students from non-teacher education majors. The results show that'"Excellent Teacher Program"students have solidfoundations in aesthetic education. They also show strong interest in cross-cultural andinterdisciplinary learning.They report high acceptance of integrating technology with the arts.Thecourse demonstrates clear effects in interdisciplinary teaching and in cultivating cross-culturalperspectives.However,problems remain.Student participation in arts practice is insufficient,andthe depth of technology application is limited.Based on the empirical evidence,this studyproposes course optimization strategies. These include strengthening interdisciplinaryintegration,increasing the weight of arts practice,and improving the depth and quality oftechnology use. The study provides references for developing general aesthetic education coursesunder the New Liberal Arts framework.
