Comparative analysis of pedagogical conditions of formation of creative independence of design students in China and Russia

in the conditions of globalization and cultural diversification, design education puts forward higher requirements to the education of independent creative abilities. China and Russia, as countries with deep cultural heritage and unique education systems, have accumulated rich experience in design education, but there are significant differences in learning conditions between the two countries. By comparing and analyzing the learning conditions for developing independent creative abilities of Chinese and Russian design students, this study explores the similarities and differences between the two countries in terms of educational concepts, curricula, teaching methods and resource allocation, as well as their underlying causes. The study shows that Chinese design education is superior to other countries in interacting with social needs and applying technology, but still lacks in cultivating artistic literacy and developing practical abilities, while Russian design education is superior to other countries in artistic traditions and mature practical teaching methods, but has limitations in balancing resource allocation and international development. Based on this, this paper presents suggestions for reforming design education in China, such as strengthening basic art courses and promoting studio teaching system, so as to comprehensively improve students' independent creative ability.
