Abstract:   (47 Views)
The purpose of this study was to analyze the curriculum model of preschool art education. Specifically, the study aimed to identify the key components and subcomponents of the preschool art education curriculum and to determine their relative priorities in achieving educational goals at the preschool level This research was applied in terms of purpose and employed a mixed-methods approach (qualitative and quantitative). In the qualitative phase, the research population consisted of 18 experts in curriculum studies and preschool education. In the quantitative phase, the population included university faculty members, PhD students in curriculum planning, and preschool experts and instructors. Using Cochran’s formula, a sample of 384 participants was selected. The research instrument was a researcher-made questionnaire comprising 39 elements of the preschool art education curriculum. Content validity was confirmed by 10 university professors of curriculum planning, and reliability was established using Cronbach’s alpha (α = 0.91). Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were conducted using SPSS and AMOS software, and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was applied to prioritize the identified factors. The results suggest that emphasizing factors that promote teamwork, creativity, and life skills development can significantly facilitate the achievement of preschool art education curriculum objectives. Greater managerial and instructional focus on these priority areas can enhance the effectiveness of curriculum design and implementation in preschool education.
