Mrs. Jiawei Shi is a Senior Lecturer and Research Scholar at Zhoukou Normal University and HUANGHE S&T University, specializing in the intersection of art education, digital pedagogy, and educational equity. His research focuses on addressing structural challenges in China’s basic art education—particularly teacher shortages, disparities in resource allocation, and uneven regional development—through evidence-based digital innovation. As the sole author of the high-impact empirical study “Digital applications inject new vitality into art education—Path analysis based on data of art teachers in basic education in China,” Shi has contributed a rigorous and multidimensional analytical framework that integrates literature review, policy analysis, national education statistics, survey research, Delphi method, Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), and the CIPP evaluation model. His work constructs a weighted evaluation index system (Y=0.35X1+0.15X2+0.22X3+0.28X4) and provides robust empirical evidence demonstrating the significant effectiveness of digital applications in enhancing teaching environments, resource distribution, and instructional outcomes in art education. The study’s findings—such as the expert authority coefficient Cr=0.632 and comparative evaluation results between digital demonstration schools and traditional schools—offer both scholarly insight and practical policy value. Shi has authored multiple academic publications and collaborated with interdisciplinary teams and provincial research initiatives, including the 2024 Henan Xingwenhua Cultural Engineering Project (No. 2024XWH241). His research has attracted growing academic attention and citation within the fields of digital education reform and art education modernization. Beyond theoretical contributions, Shi’s work supports national and regional decision-making by proposing actionable strategies for optimizing teacher training, funding mechanisms, and digital resource integration. Committed to advancing educational modernization, he continues to pursue research that promotes equity, innovation, and high-quality development in China’s basic education system, ensuring that digital transformation contributes meaningfully to cultural transmission, artistic literacy, and social progress.
