Abstract:

This study explores the relationship between creative teaching ability, motivation, and selfefficacy among 425 art and design teachers in Chinese universities. A quantitative survey approach investigated these factors and their influence on teaching effectiveness. Most participants were female, aged 26-35, and held Master's degrees or higher. The study identified "Evaluation and Reflection" as the most critical aspect for fostering creative teaching, while "Teacher Work Environment and Development" was the strongest motivator. Interestingly, self-development emerged as the most important factor for teacher self-efficacy. Age also played a significant role in the analysis. These findings highlight the interconnectedness of creative teaching ability, motivation, and self-efficacy for effective art and design education. The study proposes a comprehensive development plan for art and design schools based on these results. This plan encompasses strategies for educators, students, schools, and researchers. Educators would benefit from increased professional development opportunities, research support, and effective evaluation methods. Students would experience personalized education, practical training through industry collaboration, and mental health support. Schools could enhance interdisciplinary collaboration, implement international exchange programs, and cultivate an innovative college culture. Finally, researchers would be empowered by an improved research environment with grants, mentorship programs, and academic exchange opportunities. By implementing these recommendations, art and design schools can create an environment that fosters creative teaching, motivates educators, and ultimately enhances the overall learning experience for students.
