Abstract
Higher education is a key component in the educational system and human resource development in every country. The functioning of the education system is a tool for responding to the problems and needs of society Since the higher education system has the important task of training specialized human resources, it is necessary to use appropriate, accurate, and systematic methods in the design, implementation, and evaluation of its activities. This research seeks to design and validate a model of integrating curriculum components and aesthetic education in higher education. The goal is to achieve components of aesthetics that can be used in the university curriculum alongside other curriculum components arising from the humanities. For this purpose, these components were extracted from the literature sources of curriculum studies, the views of experts in this field, as well as the views of experts in the field of art and aesthetics, using a qualitative and exploratory method. And after reaching a consensus and the possibility of their application by public universities in Khuzestan province in 1402, those components were used in the design of the proposed model, and then the proposed model was designed and validated. In this study, the t-test and Kendall's coefficient of agreement were used to determine the level of consensus among members. The research findings showed that art and aesthetics as a perspective and paradigm in the curriculum contain many components, inspirations, and elements. These components can be used in the design, development, and implementation of curricula, focusing on important curriculum components such as goals, content, methods and evaluation.
