Abstract

Arts integration is a teaching approach used to help students learn and consolidate their knowledge through the arts. It allows students to learn in creative ways and gain a deeper understanding of other subjects. Although there have already been some research on arts integration in western art education, Chinese art education cannot directly benefit from those experiences because of the gap between the two education systems. Thus, this study focuses on the current situation and factors that influence arts integration in China. The current Chinese arts integration progress is investigated in this study by interviewing nine secondary school art teachers. The hypothesis of this study is that four key factors. teachers’ understanding of the concept, teachers’ experience, school policies, and student development. As the results supported the hypothesis, this study advises the government and schools to consider these four factors to promote arts integration in China.
