Abstract

In the contemporary era, university education, developed post-Industrial Revolution, displays excessive mechanization. This is evident in the lack of personalized learning, unidirectional teaching processes, and treating students as ‘products’, focusing on standardized testing and assessments. As society shifts from an industrial to a knowledge-based economy, university education faces significant changes, with challenges posed by advancements in information technology, globalization trends, and evolving government education policies. This paper introduces the theory of self-organizing synergism and explores the problems of organization and management in teaching, employing new perspectives and methods tailored to the characteristics of Chinese universities. The study proposes a self-organized model of learning and management, demonstrating the ecological, dynamic, and adaptive nature of this model in the context of digital media arts education. The aim of this study is to offer fresh ideas and insights for facilitating the ecological transformation of educational concepts and models.
