Keywords:
Educational management, landscape architectureAbstract
This study aimed to identify the components of landscape architecture education management in higher education institutions in Henan Province, China, and to propose managerial guidelines for improving its quality and effectiveness. A mixed-methods design was used. In the quantitative phase, 364 instructors and administrators were selected through stratified random sampling from 7,066 personnel at 10 higher education institutions offering landscape architecture programs. Data were collected using a five-point rating-scale questionnaire and analyzed with descriptive statistics and exploratory factor analysis. In the qualitative phase, data from in-depth interviews with 16 key informants and a focus group discussion with 11 experts were analyzed using content analysis. The findings identified seven components of landscape architecture education management: 1) teaching theory requirements, 2) teaching practice and application, 3) teaching objectives and social needs, 4) learning atmosphere, 5) evaluation criteria, 6) resource development, and 7) innovation and development. Based on these components, 16 managerial guidelines were developed to strengthen curriculum relevance, practical learning, supportive learning environments, assessment systems, resource development, and educational innovation in higher education institutions in Henan Province.
