Abstract
  • This study emphasises how important aesthetic education is to the overall development of college students' personalities. Aesthetic education provides students with the necessary abilities for both personal and professional success by promoting aesthetic sense, stimulating creativity, and using cooperative learning techniques. Both qualitative and quantitative data have been collected using a mixed strategy. The acquired primary quantitative data were analysed using SPSS, while the secondary qualitative data were analysed using thematic content analysis. The results show complex relationships between aesthetic education, personality development, and difficulties brought on by modernization and cultural dynamics. This study emphasises the necessity for continued research and creative approaches to strengthen the influence of aesthetic education on students' overall development.
