This textbook has the following four features:
1. Broad applicability, aiming to serve both secondary vocational and higher vocational education, as well as both academic education and training. Currently, vocational education in China is developing rapidly in both quantity and quality, as well as in raising the level. The connection between secondary and higher vocational education provides students with more choices and greater development space for vocational schools. Flower arrangement art is a comprehensive discipline that integrates theory and practice, as well as art and skills. Many secondary and higher vocational schools now offer "Flower Arrangement Art" courses. To address the issue of different levels, this textbook adopts a modular approach, suitable for both secondary and higher vocational education, as well as flower arrangement art training. The sections marked with "" in the textbook are designed for higher vocational use.
2. Combining theory and practice to reflect a competency-based education approach. The goal of vocational education is to cultivate applied specialists, adapt to social needs, and focus on developing applied skills. Students should have a moderate level of foundational knowledge, strong applied skills, a broad knowledge base, and high quality. The "Flower Arrangement Art" course itself embodies a competency-based approach, with specifically designed practical teaching content. It provides detailed explanations of the objectives, material preparation, operational methods, and evaluation criteria of flower arrangement practice. By clarifying the requirements of flower arrangement practice, it ensures the effectiveness of the practical course. Additionally, it aims to align with the professional standards for flower arrangement artists, enabling students to obtain a certificate for intermediate-level flower arrangement artist qualification after completing the course.
3. Combining imitation and innovation to reflect a quality-oriented education approach. Flower arrangement art itself is an innovative art that requires continuous creativity. Through hands-on practice, students can progress from imitation to creation, creating opportunities for them to observe the latest flower arrangement works from around the world and gain more practical experience, thereby fostering their innovative abilities.
4. Combining traditional textbooks with CDs to reflect modern teaching methods. Since it is an art form, it requires numerous examples of outstanding works from ancient and modern times for demonstration. Moreover, the techniques and processes of flower arrangement also need to be demonstrated practically to achieve better teaching effects. Therefore, this textbook adopts a combination of traditional textbooks and CDs. The traditional textbook primarily consists of text and illustrations, while the CD complements the chapters of the textbook with flower arrangement works from ancient and modern times in China and abroad, using examples to illustrate the teaching content. This makes theoretical teaching more vivid and visual, thereby achieving better teaching effects.
