Competency-Oriented Curriculum Design of Calligraphy and Seal Carving in International Art Education: Theoretical Framework and Empirical Research
Against the dual background of the competency-oriented transformation of global education and the international dissemination of Chinese culture, calligraphy and seal carving, as important carriers of excellent traditional Chinese culture, have gradually integrated into international art education scenarios. However, current courses focus mainly on skill teaching and neglect the cultivation of core competencies, resulting in many limitations. Guided by core competencies, this paper defines core concepts such as international art education and core competencies of calligraphy and seal carving, constructs a theoretical framework for curriculum design based on relevant theories, analyzes the current status and problems of curriculum implementation, and proposes targeted optimization strategies. The research shows that the core competencies of calligraphy and seal carving cover four dimensions including artistic aesthetics and cultural understanding, and constructing a "goal-principle-element" trinity curriculum framework can effectively solve problems such as curriculum positioning deviation and content mismatch. This study aims to provide theoretical and practical guidance for the optimization of calligraphy and seal carving courses in international art education, and promote the coordinated development of traditional art dissemination and competency cultivation.
Research on the Integration of Authentic Corporate Corpora into Higher Vocational English Teaching under the Integration of Industry and Education Driven by Digital Technology
Under the dual context of digital transformation and the development of new quality productive forces, this study addresses the practical dilemma in Higher Vocational Public English teaching, where textbook materials are outdated and disconnected from corporate job requirements. It explores a new path for integrating authentic corporate corpora into teaching, driven by digital technology. Using a leading low-voltage electrical appliance enterprise in Wenzhou (Company T) as a case study, the research utilizes Natural Language Processing (NLP) technology to construct an industry-specific corpus. Through de-identification preprocessing, intelligent data mining, and professional pragmatic feature analysis, the study achieves the transformation of "native" corporate resources into dynamic pedagogical materials. Furthermore, a teaching model characterized by "digital intelligence platform support, authentic corpus driving, and professional task orientation" was developed and piloted through a one-semester stratified teaching program at a vocational college in Wenzhou.The results provide empirical support for the integration of “Job-Course-Competition-Certificate” in vocational English and offer a replicable paradigm for establishing long-term mechanisms for deep industry-education fusion in the digital intelligence era.
"AI Co-conspiracy" and the Reshaping of Teacher Roles: A Study on the Development Path of Novel Teaching Intelligence in Higher Education
The rapid advancement of generative artificial intelligence is profoundly reshaping the pedagogical landscape of higher education, transforming the relationship between human teachers and intelligent machines from traditional "instrumental application" to "symbiotic collaboration." This paper introduces the concept of "AI Co-conspiring," which describes the deep synergy and bidirectional empowerment formed between teachers and AI under the guidance of teaching objectives. Under the "AI Co-conspiring" framework, the role of teachers faces a multifaceted transformation from "knowledge transmitter" to "learning ecosystem designer," "cognitive guide," and "value leader." Based on the concept of human-machine co-intelligence, this study systematically elaborates on the connotation of new teaching wisdom, reveals its dual developmental trajectory of "transformation of knowledge into wisdom" and "transformation of technology into wisdom," and constructs a three-stage progressive model of teaching wisdom generation encompassing "knowledge co-creation—thinking co-shaping—cognitive self-emergence." Further, the practical forms of new teaching wisdom are analyzed across four dimensions: teaching design wisdom, classroom interaction wisdom, evaluation feedback wisdom, and ethical judgment wisdom. Building on this foundation, the study proposes a multi-tiered teacher competency growth pathway centered on the TPAiK framework, a teaching support system oriented toward structural embedding, and an ethical framework guided by value-sensitive design as developmental pathways. The research demonstrates that "AI Co-conspiring" does not signify the dissolution of teacher subjectivity but rather presents an opportunity for the leapfrogging of teaching wisdom, ultimately aiming to construct a new higher education ecosystem characterized by human-machine collaboration and symbiotic prosperity.

Research on Apprenticeship Mode Adapted to Integrated Circuit Talent Training under the New Type of "School-Within-Factory"
Aiming at the shortage of high-skilled talents in the integrated circuit (IC) industry and the pain points in traditional apprenticeship models (scenario segmentation, content lag, and single certification), this paper proposes and practices a modern apprenticeship innovation mode adapted to full-cycle IC talent training. Relying on the advanced semiconductor "New Type of School-Within-Factory" at Suzhou Industrial Park Institute of Vocational Technology, the mode takes "School-Enterprise Collaboration for Foundation Building, Real-Post Intensive Training for Skill Strengthening, and Parallel Education-Training for Quality Improvement" as its core concept. Through reconstructing the "Physical-Management-Resource" trinity entity of the school-factory, innovating the "Three Integrations and One" (scenario, content, and certification integration) education mechanism, and designing an apprentice growth path combining "Eight-Step Intensive Training" with the "Competency Account" system, the mode effectively achieves seamless transition for students from "beginners" to "quasi-employees" and then to "high-skilled craftsmen." Practice shows that this mode has increased the employment rate of graduates in related fields by 26% and significantly raised their starting monthly salaries, providing high-quality talent support for the IC industry with significant promotion value.
Cultivation of Senior English Reading Strategies Based on Cognitive Load
Against the backdrop of new curriculum reform emphasizing core competencies, English reading is increasingly valued for its role in language acquisition and holistic development. However, high school English reading instruction faces persistent challenges, as students often struggle to master effective strategies to improve efficiency. From a cognitive load perspective, suboptimal teaching approaches may impose excessive cognitive burdens on learners. To address this, this study investigates factors influencing senior high school students’ English reading through the cognitive load theory and proposes feasible reading strategies. By reviewing relevant domestic and international literature and analyzing teaching cases, this research examines the cultivation of English reading strategies within a cognitive load framework. Five practical strategies are proposed: time allocation, attention management, information processing, schema automation, and schema construction. These strategies aim to inform teaching practices, support learners in reading more effectively, and foster autonomous learning abilities, thereby equipping students to better navigate the information era and engage in knowledge innovation in the future.

In the dual context of rapid evolution of new types of productive forces and the high-quality development of vocational education, Party leadership serves as a key lever to address the persistent challenges of industry-education integration in vocational colleges, where collaboration often lacks depth and cohesion. Based on theories of collaborative governance and stakeholder engagement, this study examines the intrinsic logic and core contradictions of Party-led industry-education integration and coordinated talent cultivation, considering the institutional positioning and contemporary mission of vocational colleges. A systematic mechanism is constructed across four dimensions: ideology, organization, talent cultivation, and evaluation. Practical measures are proposed to ensure implementation, providing both theoretical guidance and a practical model for enhancing the quality of technical and skilled talent development through Party-led empowerment of industry-education integration.
Analysis of the efficiency of scientific research in universities in Jiangsu Province-based on indicators at different levels
A fair and reasonable evaluation of scientific research efficiency is a necessary means to optimize the allocation of scientific research res ources in universities and improve the efficiency of scientific research management. It is an effective way to implement the "double first-class" const ruction "performance evaluation dynamic support". This paper selects 15 “double first-class” constructions and 19 ordinary undergraduate universities i n Jiangsu Province, constructs a three-level indicator system with different focuses, and uses the super-efficiency DEA-BCC model to conduct static scientific research on Jiangsu Province’s universities from 2012 to 2017. Analysis of ef ficiency changes. The study found that the average level of scientific research efficiency of universities in Jiangsu Province is relatively high and m aintains a certain growth rate. However, under the index system that emphasizes quantity, quality, and long-term benefits, the scientific research efficiency of Jiangsu Province presents a high-low-high V-shaped characteristic; The scientific research efficiency of universities in Jiangsu province can be divided into four types. Most universities belong to the stage of high-s cale efficiency and low pure technical efficiency; the low scientific research efficiency of some provincial universities is affected by the small scale, resource allocation and low management level.
Study on the Influencing Factors of College Students' Autonomous Learning Ability in Basic Mathematics Courses Based on SEM
To address the predicament in cultivating college students' autonomous learning ability in basic mathematics courses amid the digital transformation of higher education, this study constructs a multi-dimensional influencing factor model based on Bandura's tripartite reciprocal determinism theory and Zimmerman's self-regulated learning theory. An empirical analysis is conducted using structural equation modeling (SEM) with 595 valid questionnaires as samples. The results show that teacher support and digital literacy are core driving factors: they not only directly and positively affect autonomous learning ability but also exert indirect effects through the chain mediating path of "mathematical self-efficacy → learning strategies and self-regulation". Neither the direct nor indirect effects of the learning environment are significant. The conclusions deepen the application of autonomous learning theory in disciplinary contexts and provide theoretical references for colleges and universities to implement targeted teaching interventions and optimize basic mathematics courses.
Research on the Application of Laws Protecting Workers' Rights and Interests During the Probation Period - From the Perspective of the "Labor Contract Law"
In the modern labor relations system, the probation period serves as an important link between employers and employees, representing a crucial stage for both parties to mutually assess and adapt to each other. Currently, the imbalance between supply and demand in China's labor market still persists in some sectors, with employees remaining in a relatively vulnerable position within labor rela-tions. Some employers, leveraging their informational advantages and dominant position, frequently circumvent legal regulations and infringe upon the rights and interests of employees during the probation period. Such behaviors not only seriously harm the legitimate rights and interests of employees, trigger a large number of labor disputes, but also disrupt the fair competition order in the labor market and affect the harmony and stability of labor relations. According to sta-tistics from the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, in the past five years, disputes involving the probation period have accounted for an average of 18.7% of labor dispute cases nationwide, showing a rising trend year by year. Among them, disputes over probationary wages, termination of labor contracts, and agreement on the duration of the probation period have become the three major types of disputes, accounting for 35.2%, 31.5%, and 20.3% of probation-related disputes respectively. This data fully reflects the urgent reality of protecting employees' rights and interests during the probation period and exposes many issues in the current application of laws. Therefore, from the perspective of the Labor Contract Law, it is of great practical significance to conduct an in-depth study on the legal application issues concerning the protection of employees' rights and interests during the probation period.

A Literature Review on the Strengths Perspective Theory
The Strengths Perspective emerged in the late 1980s as a significant critique and transcendence of the traditional problem-oriented approach in social work. This theory emphasizes starting from the potential and strengths of individuals, families, and communities, mobilizing resources, fostering collaboration, and restoring hope to empower clients as agents of change. This paper systematically reviews the theoretical origins, core concepts, and application status of the Strengths Perspective in Chinese social work practice, focusing on three key fields: mental health, elderly services, and child, youth, and family services. It analyzes the characteristics and limitations of its localized practice. The study finds that the Strengths Perspective in China shows field concentration and methodological diversity, yet also faces challenges such as conceptual generalization and insufficient structural response. Future development should promote the integration of the Strengths Perspective with problem-oriented approaches, and strengthen its theoretical awareness and practical reflection within specific socio-cultural contexts, so as to advance from "conceptual transplantation" to "localized integration."
A Study on Pathways and Strategies for Improving Digital Literacy among Elderly Mongolians
Against the backdrop of rapid development of digital technology, digitalization has profoundly changed the way society operates and residents live. However, with the deepening of population aging, the "digital divide" faced by the elderly in integrating into the digital society is becoming increasingly prominent, especially among the elderly in ethnic minority areas. The overall digital literacy level of Mongolian elderly is relatively low due to multiple factors such as age characteristics, education level, language and culture, and regional development conditions, which restricts their ability to equally enjoy digital public services and participate in social life. This paper, based on defining the concepts of digital literacy, the digital divide among the elderly, and Mongolian elderly, systematically analyzes the main problems existing in the process of improving digital literacy among Mongolian elderly, including insufficient digital awareness, weak digital skills, lack of learning support resources, language and cultural barriers, insufficient digital security awareness, and limited family and social support. To address these problems, this paper proposes corresponding paths and countermeasures from the aspects of optimizing an age-friendly and ethnically-oriented digital environment, constructing a tiered and categorized digital literacy training system, strengthening community platform support, leveraging the role of families and intergenerational mutual assistance, strengthening digital security education, and improving policy support and collaborative governance mechanisms. The study suggests that multi-stakeholder collaboration and systematic advancement can help improve the digital literacy of Mongolian elderly, promote their better integration into the digital society, and achieve the goal of active aging.
Analysis of Usage Characteristics of Sports Social Platforms Among University Students in Zhaoqing City

Optimization Paths of Labor Education in Rural Primary and Secondary Schools for Empowering Rural Revitalization
The report to the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China explicitly states the goal of "cultivating socialist builders and successors who are well-rounded in moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic and labor education", which once again highlights the important status of labor education in talent cultivation, economic development and national construction. As an essential activity for human survival and development, labor runs through all fields of social division of labor and constitutes an indispensable core content of education. Rural areas are endowed with abundant natural and cultural labor resources, providing unique conditions for the implementation of labor education in primary and secondary schools. Under the background of the rural revitalization strategy, labor education in rural primary and secondary schools is not only an important part of the national education system, but also bears the comprehensive educational values of fostering morality, enhancing intelligence, strengthening physical fitness and cultivating aesthetic appreciation. It can help students establish a correct view of labor, shape the spirit of labor, improve labor ability and develop labor habits. Starting from the value implication of rural labor education for empowering rural revitalization, this paper analyzes the practical dilemmas faced by current labor education in rural primary and secondary schools, explores the specific optimizing paths of labor education combined with the concept of collaborative education involving families, schools and society, and provides theoretical support and practical reference for rural education revitalization and the all-round development of rural areas.
Strategies for Enhancing the Adaptability of Skilled Talents from the Perspective of Five Party Game Theory
Against the backdrop of rapid industrial technological iteration and the vigorous cultivation of new quality productive forces, a persistent systemic time lag exists between the cultivation of highly skilled talents and the evolving demands of the enterprises. This disconnect manifests in acute structural contradictions, including the inability to apply learned knowledge and a significant readiness gap upon graduation. To address this core issue, this study constructs a five-party evolutionary game model encompassing schools, enterprises, students, parents, and the government. The analysis reveals that the current dilemma in career adaptability stems from the system being trapped in a low-level Nash equilibrium, characterized by misaligned incentives among stakeholders. To break this suboptimal equilibrium, we propose an incentive-compatible four-dimensional governance framework. This framework necessitates precise institutional supply and risk-sharing mechanisms from the government, efficient channels for transmitting industrial demand signals, the empowerment of schools, students, and parents as active co-creators, and the development of a digital twin-supported training ecosystem to reduce adaptive cultivation costs. By systematically recalibrating the payoff functions within the five-party game, this framework aims to shift the system from a vicious cycle of mutual constraint toward a virtuous cycle of synergistic co-governance.
School-based Professional Development and Peer Collaboration: Exploring Pathways for the Development of Digital Literacy among College English Teachers in the AI Era
With the integration of artificial intelligence technologies into the field of education, enhancing the digital literacy of university English teachers has become a critical issue in adapting to contemporary changes. This study focuses on two practical pathways—school-based professional development and peer collaboration—exploring their synergistic effects and implementation mechanisms in fostering the development of teachers' digital literacy. By reviewing relevant theories and existing literature, this paper constructs a digital literacy development framework that integrates school-based organizational support and peer collaborative learning. It emphasizes continuous growth in technological application capabilities through collective discussions, case sharing, and collaborative design activities within authentic teaching contexts. Practice demonstrates that this approach effectively helps teachers overcome technophobia, strengthens their confidence and ability to integrate AI tools into English teaching, thereby significantly improving instructional outcomes and enhancing students' language learning experiences. The study further indicates that institutionalized school-based support and an open peer culture are essential foundations for ensuring the sustainable operation of this pathway, offering actionable references for universities to promote teacher professional development in the AI era. Future research may delve into the localized adaptation of this pathway across different institutional contexts and its long-term impacts.
Ethical Leadership and Organizational Climate in Chinese Higher Education: A Conceptual Framework and Propositions
China’s higher education system is undergoing a significant transformation, shifting from a phase of quantitative expansion to one focused on quality assurance and internal governance. Within this reforming context, the behavior of academic leaders has become a critical determinant of how faculty members perceive and navigate the changing professional landscape. While existing literature acknowledges the positive influence of ethical leadership on organizational outcomes, few studies have examined the boundary conditions of this relationship within the specific hierarchical and cultural dynamics of Chinese universities. Drawing on Social Learning Theory, this paper proposes a conceptual framework to explicate the mechanism linking perceived ethical leadership practices—communication of standards, fair decision-making, role modeling, and reinforcement—to organizational climate. Crucially, this study introduces a theoretical innovation by positioning academic leaders’ demographic characteristics as pivotal moderators. We advance propositions arguing that the positive association between ethical leadership and organizational climate is not uniform but is strengthened by the leader’s institutional legitimacy: specifically, the relationship is theorized to be stronger when academic leaders hold higher administrative ranks, possess longer tenure in their positions, and hold higher academic degrees. This framework offers a nuanced perspective on university governance, suggesting that the effectiveness of ethical signaling is contingent upon "who" the leader is in terms of authority and history. The paper concludes with implications for leadership selection and development in the pursuit of sustainable higher education development.
Occupational Burnout and Job Satisfaction in Chinese Private Primary Schools: A Conceptual Framework of Demographic Moderation
Against the backdrop of China's "Double Reduction" policy and the rapid modernization of basic education, private primary school teachers in Western China face a unique professional environment characterized by high accountability, market-driven instability, and intensive emotional labor. While the inverse relationship between occupational burnout and job satisfaction is well-established, existing literature often treats teachers as a homogeneous group, overlooking how individual backgrounds condition this dynamic. This paper addresses this theoretical gap by proposing an integrative conceptual framework specifically for the Chinese private education sector. Drawing upon the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) model and Social Exchange Theory, we argue that the translation of burnout into dissatisfaction is not a uniform physiological reaction but a contingent process modulated by a "Demographic Filter." We posit that professional characteristics (such as the high-demand role of Homeroom Teachers and low tenure) and socio-economic factors (such as salary level and marital status) act as critical moderators that either amplify or buffer the psychological toll of stress. By synthesizing these perspectives, this study moves beyond generic stress theories to offer a nuanced, equity-based model for understanding teacher well-being, providing actionable insights for school administrators to implement differentiated support strategies in a high-pressure educational landscape.
Developmental Characteristics and Educational Promotion of Social-Emotional Competence among Rural Students with Learning Difficulties
With the deepening implementation of the fundamental task of fostering virtue through education and China’s strategy for education modernization, social and emotional learning (SEL) has increasingly been recognized as a key pathway for promoting students’ academic achievement, mental health, and positive social adaptation (Durlak et al., 2011; Mahoney et al., 2018). Against the backdrop of persistent imbalances between urban and rural education, rural students with learning difficulties—who are situated at the intersection of geographic disadvantage and academic struggles—have become a high-risk group whose social-emotional development and educational support systems require systematic examination. Drawing on both domestic and international literature, this article integrates the CASEL framework of social-emotional competence with Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems theory to analyze the major developmental characteristics of social-emotional competence among rural students with learning difficulties and to reveal the root causes of their developmental challenges. On this basis, it proposes an integrated framework for educational promotion grounded in the core ideas of cultural sensitivity and systemic empowerment.

This paper focuses on the operational mechanisms of such co-constructed AI general education bases, analyzing their background and significance, exploring collaborative models and operational frameworks, identifying critical challenges, and proposing optimization strategies. The aim is to provide theoretical support and practical reference for building a sustainable and high-quality AI general education system.
Research on the High-Quality Development Path of Agricultural-Tourism Integration in Cangnan County under the Background of Rural Revitalization
Against the backdrop of the rural revitalization strategy, this paper focuses on the practice of agricultural-tourism integration in Yanting Town, Cangnan County. Through on-the-spot investigations and data analysis, it systematically sorts out the town's resource endowments, development bottlenecks and underlying causes, and puts forward a development path featuring "industrial chain integration, cultural empowerment and technology-driven". The research shows that Yanting Town needs to break through the extensive development model of "relying on seafood and being affected by seasonal fluctuations". By building an innovative system of "crab culture IP leadership, land-sea spatial linkage and in-depth integration of the primary, secondary and tertiary industries", it should become a demonstration highland for agricultural-tourism integration in the coastal areas of southern Zhejiang, providing a replicable practical model for coastal counties.
Research on Innovation and Reform of Physical Education Courses in Maritime Programs at Higher Education Institutions in the New Era
Maritime institutions in China serve as the primary training grounds for maritime professionals. Compared to other industries, maritime personnel must not only master systematic professional skills but also possess physical fitness closely related to maritime work. Maritime physical education differs from conventional sports, as it heavily relies on aquatic environments and emphasizes practical water skills and comprehensive adaptability. Against the backdrop of the ongoing advancement of the "Healthy China 2035" initiative, maritime physical education has become an indispensable component of the maritime education system. Consequently, establishing maritime physical education and health courses within maritime institutions holds significant importance. However, influenced by multiple factors, many domestic institutions currently exhibit shortcomings in the design and implementation of such courses. Based on this reality, this paper conducts a preliminary exploration of teaching innovation and reform pathways for physical education and health courses in maritime institutions in the new era.
The Strategies of the 5E Instructional Model in Junior High School Grammar Teaching from the Perspective of Teaching-Learning-Assessment Integration—A Case Study of the Attributive Clause
Teaching-Learning-Assessment Integration is beneficial for cultivating students' core competence, facilitating teachers' professional growth, and fulfilling the fundamental objective of moral education in the English discipline. In teaching activities, the integration of these three elements makes them depend, influence and develop with each other. The 5E instructional model deeply integrates "learning" and "assessment" through its structured inquiry process, including five key stages: Engagement, Exploration, Explanation, Elaboration, and Evaluation. It is effective to develop students' critical thinking and practical abilities. The core value of this approach is to ensure authentic learning occurs within students and transform the classroom into a dynamic space for active knowledge construction. As the foundation of language acquisition, grammatical knowledge serves as both a central component of junior high school English teaching and a key challenge in teaching and learning for both students and teachers. According to the requirements of the "Compulsory Education English Curriculum Standards," this paper explores how to effectively incorporate the 5E instructional model into junior high school English grammar classrooms. It aims to establish a novel Teaching-Learning-Assessment Integration, integrated pedagogical paradigm, providing innovative approaches to grammar instruction while enhancing both the effectiveness and engagement of students' grammar learning.

Research on the Application of Situational Teaching in Junior High School English Teaching
With the continuous advancement of the new curriculum reform, the requirements for junior high school English teaching are getting higher and higher. Under the current educational background, teachers not only need to master advanced teaching concepts and methods, but also need to teach students as the main body. Therefore, in actual English teaching, teachers should actively integrate situational teaching into it to stimulate students' interest and enthusiasm for learning English. Situational teaching can promote students' understanding and mastery of English knowledge, and at the same time enhance their learning efficiency. This article mainly analyzes and discusses the application of situational teaching in junior high school English teaching and proposes some effective application strategies.
