THE COMPONENT OF ACTING ON CAMERA TEACHING MODEL IN CHINA UNIVERSITIES

Abstract

This study, titled "The Component of Acting on Camera Teaching Model in Chinese Universities", aims to investigate the essential elements of teaching acting on camera. The objectives are to analyze the current state and challenges of acting on camera instruction in Chinese universities, identify effective instructional practices, and propose a comprehensive teaching model suitable for higher education contexts. To achieve these objectives, the study employed a mixed-methods approach. Data were collected through a questionnaire survey conducted at eight universities in different regions of China, with 600 fourth-year undergraduate students as the main research subjects. In addition, in-depth interviews were conducted with teachers and students. The findings reveal four major issues in the current teaching practices: outdated course content, insufficient practical opportunities, uneven distribution of teaching resources, and inadequate evaluation system. The practices of the three leading institutions indicate that integrating industry resources, leveraging technology for innovation, and promoting interdisciplinary collaboration are three core pathways for enhancing the competitiveness of acting on camera programs. Based on the survey results, the researchers propose a Social Interactive Experiential Learning (SIEL) model, structured around four stages: concrete experience, social interaction, conceptual reconstruction, and social verification and internalization. It incorporates a three-tier feedback system involving peers, industry experts, and public audiences, supported by a flexible technology implementation plan and a multi-dimensional evaluation system. This study provides a theoretically sound, practical, and scalable teaching framework for acting on camera.
