This study explores aesthetic environmental education, particularly its application in the practice venues of technical high schools in New Taipei City. In the context of globalization and digitalization, cultivating technical talents with aesthetic literacy and an international perspective has become increasingly crucial. Through an analysis of the ''New Taipei City Technical Senior High School Top+ PLUS Aesthetic Future Implementation Plan,'' this study aims to provide insights and recommendations for the development of aesthetic education environments in technical high schools. This study investigated teachers’and students’perceptions of teaching and learning after the aesthetic renovation of five practical training environments in technical high schools in New Taipei City. A total of 15 valid teacher questionnaires and 161 valid student questionnaires were collected. Descriptive statistics, including mean and standard deviation, were used to examine overall response patterns, while the Mann–Whitney U test was conducted to compare differences between teachers’and students’perceptions across 17 evaluation items. In addition, participants’emotional responses, cognitive evaluations, and views on the renovated learning spaces were analyzed to understand how aesthetic environments may influence students’learning attitudes, participation, and perceived learning experiences. Analysis of 17 evaluation items revealed that the aesthetic renovation of practice venues had significant impacts across multiple aspects, with teachers generally rating the improvements higher than students. The differences were particularly notable in some areas. The smallest discrepancy was observed in ''learning environment becoming more comfortable'' and ''enhanced safety,'' indicating that both teachers and students recognized the success of these basic functional improvements. However, ''bilingual signage enhancing professional English proficiency'' received relatively low ratings from both groups, suggesting a need for greater attention and intervention. The survey also found that most students were satisfied with the renovated environment, believing it stimulated their learning motivation. Teachers generally perceived the new space as facilitating instructional interaction, increasing student engagement, and enhancing teaching effectiveness. Based on the findings of the questionnaire, this study proposes several recommendations to enhance the effectiveness of the program and better meet the needs of teaching and learning. These include strengthening communication between teachers and students, optimizing bilingual signage design and integration into teaching, increasing student engagement and initiative, establishing a mechanism to track and evaluate the effectiveness of space utilization, providing support at the policy level, and expanding the dissemination of results to elevate the image of vocational education. As more aesthetic learning spaces are constructed in the future, further research can explore the specific reasons behind the differences in perception, offering new directions and insights for building aesthetic educational environments in technical and vocational high schools. |
