Art education has long been a vital domain for expressing, preserving, and transmitting cultural memory and national values. In an era marked by globalization and rapid digitalization, these values face challenges, with younger generations often exposed to transnational and multicultural narratives that may overshadow local traditions. This study proposes a transdisciplinary framework in art education to bridge cultural heritage with modern educational content, ensuring a balanced approach to teaching both artistic techniques and cultural identity. Through mixed methods—including qualitative interviews, case studies, and a quantitative experimental study—this research assesses the effectiveness of integrating cultural memory and national values in art education. Our findings underscore the value of a curriculum focused on national identity, showing significant improvements in students’ awareness and appreciation of their cultural roots. Additionally, we explore challenges faced by educators and institutions in implementing transdisciplinary approaches. This study contributes to a growing field of educational research emphasizing cultural heritage in contemporary learning, offering insights for policymakers, educators, and curriculum developers. Results suggest that a transdisciplinary approach in art education fosters a culturally aware and globally informed student body, equipped to navigate and appreciate both local and global perspectives. This article explores the intersection of transdisciplinary research and art education, focusing on the role of cultural memory and national values in modern artistic content. As societies undergo rapid globalization and modernization, art education plays a crucial role in preserving and reshaping cultural identities, fostering national values, and transmitting collective memory through art. By adopting a transdisciplinary research approach, which integrates knowledge from multiple disciplines such as art history, sociology, anthropology, and cultural studies, art education systems can provide more holistic and contextually relevant frameworks for understanding national identity in the modern world. This article examines how cultural memory is encoded in visual arts, the reinterpretation of national values in contemporary artistic practices, and the transformative potential of art education in shaping national consciousness. Through the lens of transdisciplinary research, the paper highlights the evolving nature of national values in art education and their relevance in the digital age, where global and local influences converge.
