Russian-Chinese experience in the field of artistic pedagogical education: today and tomorrow

The article is dedicated to the analysis of Russian-Chinese cooperation in the field of artistic pedagogical education in the context of contemporary globalization and accelerated digitalization. It examines key historical, cultural, and pedagogical aspects of the interaction between the two largest countries, including the influence of the classical Soviet education system on the Chinese artistic school, as well as current modern trends such as the integration of digital technologies and artificial intelligence, interdisciplinary approaches, cross-cultural studies, academic exchanges, and internships. Particular attention is paid to the detailed comparative analysis of pedagogical practices in Russia and China, systematically identifying their strengths and specific opportunities for mutual enrichment. The authors consider how traditional teaching methods blend organically with innovative approaches, as well as how cultural differences directly influence the formation of modern educational strategies. The study employs methods of historical-cultural analysis, comparative pedagogy, and a practice-oriented approach, including the development of educational programs and experimental learning. The research is based on the analysis of academic publications, educational standards, and real experiences of joint projects between Russian and Chinese universities. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the comprehensive examination and analysis of Russian-Chinese cooperation in the field of artistic pedagogical education at the present stage, including the development of adapted curricula and assessment criteria. The authors conclude that the integration of traditional and innovative methods, as well as the systematic strengthening of academic exchanges, contributes to the formation of a multicultural educational environment in the context of digital transformation. However, challenges remain, such as the difficult balance between tradition and modernization in practice, as well as the pressing need for further digitalization. Development prospects clearly include the expansion of joint programs, the use of VR/AR technologies, and the strengthening of interdisciplinary connections in the educational process. Further research in the integration of Russian and Chinese pedagogical practices will help to deepen the understanding of the mechanisms of cultural exchange and its impact on enriching the artistic education of both countries, with the aim of developing significant professional competencies and strengthening the sociocultural identity of future specialists. Thus, it is particularly important for both countries to continue the dialogue of cultures within new formats of cooperation to successfully respond to the challenges associated with the internationalization of education.
