Abstract

This study investigates and reforms the issues faced by the undergraduate major of Digital Media Art. The research reveals the bottlenecks in teaching this major, including the rapid updates of knowledge and the disconnection between skill learning and humanistic literacy. To address these core issues, a three-stage research process was conducted. Firstly, a comprehensive review of domestic and international literature was conducted to analyze the major characteristic art forms in the Hunan region of China. Content related to national cultural confidence was incorporated into the curriculum, leading to the establishment of a preliminary curriculum system. Secondly, a selected set of 2-3 courses underwent reform, with a focus on the study of Hunan cultural spirit to complement and enrich the disciplinary content. Ideological and political education was effectively integrated into professional course learning. Finally, teaching reform and practical teaching were conducted, involving classroom observations and pre- and post-assessments of students. Effective strategies were identified to enhance students’ interdisciplinary integration abilities, national confidence, and self-directed learning. Accordingly, a course teaching model was established. The research findings successfully bridged the gap between updating teaching content and fostering skill learning along with humanistic literacy. The study achieved a series of outcomes and recognition in exhibitions, competitions, and academic publications. These results have been widely applied by relevant universities and highly praised by the industry, gradually establishing a professional brand.
