Abstract
The article raises the problem of forming aesthetic values among college students and emphasises their importance in people’s lives. The urgency of the problem is due to the rapid pace of development of network technologies, in particular short, low-quality videos (Little Red Book and Tik Tok), which seriously mislead the aesthetic values of some college students. However, the quality of aesthetic values often faces a difficult evaluation environment. This article attempts to explore the evaluation standards and levels of aesthetic values formed by music among college students in the context of globalisation. The genesis of the problem of forming aesthetic values in the mixed situation of multiple cultures in China is traced. It is emphasised that the development of media leads to the erosion of their aesthetic values. Based on the analysis of the works of scholars, 4 levels of development of aesthetic values are identified: initial, fashionable, advanced and the highest level – the suspended layer. The essence of the concept of ‘evaluation’ and its relationship with such categories as standards, criteria, norms are defined. The philosophical content of the main criteria for assessing aesthetic values: truth, goodness, beauty is analysed. A system of indicators for assessing the musical and aesthetic values of college students is developed. An experimental study was conducted to identify the advantages in the development of aesthetic values of college students and the results of the analysis of such an experiment are presented. It is concluded that any evaluation standard formulated by people and used by people will be influenced by various factors.
