Reconstruction of Ecological Cognition in the Main Soundscape Domain: The Aesthetic Education Synergy Mechanism from the Perspective of Dialectical Contradiction

Abstract

There is a significant disconnect between current aesthetic education and ecological civilization education. Music education focuses on technical training while neglecting the integration of ecological ethics, while ecological education remains limited to knowledge transmission without effective emotional resonance. This has led to weak ecological responsibility awareness among students (a deficiency of 34%) and a disconnection between curriculum practice and ecological themes (87% of textbooks do not include ecological themes). This study employs the theory of dialectical contradiction as the analytical framework, focusing on the core contradiction between “aesthetic isolation” and “cognitive instrumentality.” It constructs a dynamic intervention model of “soundscape domain-ecological consciousness” to reveal the synergistic mechanism of ecological cognitive reconstruction through neural activation (an increase of 21% in alpha wave modulation) and emotional resonance triggered by sound wave vibrations. Based on the principles of quantum acoustics and the interdisciplinary requirements of the Compulsory Education Art Curriculum Standards (2022), this study proposes a practical approach for “ecological soundscape courses.” This includes the analysis of bioacoustic spectra (such as bird song rhythms), the creation of crisis-themed compositions (mapping carbon footprint data to pitch), and a carbon-neutral music performance mechanism. These methods achieve a cognitive leap from “technical training to ecological responsibility.”
