A POLC-Based Management Model for Promoting Dragon Dance in Polytechnic Colleges of Guangdong Province

Abstract

Abstract

Background and Aims: As a prominent intangible cultural heritage of China, dragon dancing boasts distinct national characteristics and profound cultural heritage. It is not only an integral part of traditional Chinese sports but also a crucial vehicle for university physical education, campus cultural development, and the preservation of national spirit. In recent years, Guangdong's higher vocational colleges have achieved some success in promoting the diversified development of campus sports and fostering the well-rounded development of students' moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic, and labor qualities. However, the development of dragon dancing in these colleges still faces challenges, including insufficient promotion, weak faculty, imperfect management mechanisms, and uneven resource allocation. With the strengthening of national policies to protect and preserve traditional sports, and the implementation of policies such as the 14th Five-Year Plan for Sports Development and the National Fitness Plan, higher vocational colleges shoulder a crucial role in the preservation and development of dragon dancing. However, the current lack of a scientific, systematic, and operational management model to guide the standardized and sustainable promotion of dragon dancing in Guangdong's higher vocational colleges has, to a certain extent, constrained its educational function and social impact.

This study aims to construct a dragon dance management model applicable to higher vocational colleges in Guangdong Province based on POLC management theory (Planning, Organizing, Leading, and Control). Through a systematic analysis of the policy environment, institutional conditions, faculty development, activity development, student participation, and evaluation mechanisms, the model clarifies the management elements and operational mechanisms of each link, thereby providing a scientific basis and feasible solutions for the planning, organization, implementation, team building, and supervision and evaluation of dragon dance in these colleges. The establishment of this model will not only help to increase the popularity and competitive level of dragon dance in higher vocational colleges, but also effectively promote the inheritance and innovation of China's excellent traditional sports culture, enrich campus cultural life, enhance students' cultural confidence and collective cohesion, and achieve a dual improvement in educational and cultural value.

Methodology: The research methods of this study mainly include questionnaire survey method, Delphi method, literature review method, expert interview method and focus group method.

Results: The results of this study will present a management model to promote dragon dance of polytechnic colleges in Guangdong province.

Conclusion: Through the management model to promote dragon dance of polytechnic colleges in Guangdong province, the dragon dance movement can be effectively operated in polytechnic colleges in Guangdong province.
