The Integration of Industry and Education Promotes the Optimization of Teaching Models in Performance Majors

Abstract

In the context of deepening industry-education integration and university-enterprise cooperation, acting programs confront mismatches between curriculum design and labour-market needs. This study constructs a conceptual framework to examine how industry-education integration drives optimization of teaching models in acting education. Through comparative literature analysis and case synthesis, this study identifies three optimization dimensions-teaching philosophy renewal, talent-training model reform, and curriculum reconstruction. It also proposes practical strategies, including digitalized instruction, dual-mentor project-based learning, modular competency pathways, and tiered experiential practices. Findings show that coordinated resource investment by universities and enterprises facilitates modularization, digitalization, and hierarchical progression in training, while mechanisms such as immersive practice platforms and enterprise co-designed courses improve students’ professional adaptability, practical competence, and employability. The paper argues that embedding industry practice into pedagogy creates a sustainable pathway for aligning artistic cultivation with industry standards and recommends institutional support, faculty development, and evaluation reforms to consolidate long-term collaboration. These conclusions offer both theoretical propositions and actionable guidance for reforming acting programs under an industry-education integration paradigm.
