Research and Practice on Optimisation of Curriculum Content in the Teaching Stage of Performance Creation

In contemporary art education, teaching performance creation is vital for fostering students’ comprehensive quality and creativity. However, the current curriculum faces issues such as irrational course design, monotonous teaching methods, and lack of student engagement. This study aims to optimize course content in performance creation teaching to enhance educational outcomes. It reviews the current state and challenges of performance creation education globally, and proposes a systematic optimization plan grounded in pedagogical theories and practical needs. The plan includes revised course objectives, content design, teaching methods, and assessment strategies, emphasizing student-centered approaches, creativity, expressiveness, teamwork, and diversified teaching techniques to boost student interest and initiative. To evaluate the effectiveness of the optimized program, an experimental study was conducted in actual classrooms, using questionnaires, classroom observations, and student interviews for data collection. Quantitative and qualitative analyses reveal that the optimized content significantly improves students’ performance skills and creativity, while increasing their learning interest and participation. Teachers report that the new methods better stimulate students’ potential and enhance teaching outcomes. This study offers theoretical support and practical guidance for performance creation teaching reform and serves as a valuable reference for future educational research and practice.
