Promoting Cross-Cultural Competence Through Aesthetic Education Policy in a Selected University In Shijiazhuang, China
Get PDFThis study determined the extent to which school administrators promote the implementation of aesthetic education and its correlation with respondents' cross-cultural competence (CCC). A comprehensive analysis was conducted, examining key areas including comprehensive development goals, classroom teaching, core subjects, and supplementary courses. The study's findings indicate that school administrators effectively integrate aesthetic education across these areas, with particular strengths in assessment practices, professional development, and encouraging creativity. However, there are identified areas for improvement, such as enhancing student engagement and providing better support mechanisms for teachers. Demographic profiles of both teacher and student respondents were analyzed, revealing a significant representation of female educators and students. Additionally, the study found no significant differences in the perceptions of the promotion of aesthetic education based on sex, age, or length of service among respondents. The assessment of respondents' cross-cultural competence was conducted across cognitive, affective, behavioral, and relational dimensions. The results show that respondents generally perceive themselves as competent in these areas, with room for improvement in fostering respect for all cultural backgrounds and emphasizing mutual respect. A significant positive correlation was found between the extent of school administrators' promotion of aesthetic education and the overall cross-cultural competence of respondents. This finding underscores the critical role that aesthetic education plays in enhancing students' abilities to understand, appreciate, and interact effectively with diverse cultures. The study concludes with recommendations to further integrate and promote aesthetic education, thereby fostering a more culturally competent and inclusive educational environment

Sacred Chants on Stage: The Performative Reconstruction of Yushan Fanbai
Get PDFThis paper examines the transformative journey of Yushan Fanbai, a traditional Chinese Buddhist chant, as it transitions from monastic ritual to staged performance. Originally embedded in liturgical practice where sound served spiritual discipline rather than artistic display, Fanbai has entered new domains of cultural presentation through intangible cultural heritage policies and spiritual-aesthetic markets. Analyzing its performative reconstruction, this study identifies how Fanbai’s sonic, bodily, and spatial dimensions are systematically reconfigured for theatrical settings. Ritual chanting is reshaped into melodic phrases with harmonic enrichment; restrained bodily composure becomes choreographed movement; and sacred space gives way to symbolic scenography. These adaptations are driven externally by heritage frameworks and media markets, and internally by monastic communities seeking cultural outreach and institutional legitimacy. The resulting performance exists in a liminal space between ritual authenticity and aesthetic communication, generating tensions regarding sacredness and mediation. Ultimately, this reconstruction reflects not the dilution of tradition but its dynamic rearticulation, demonstrating how religious practices negotiate continuity within contemporary cultural economies while offering insights into the broader evolution of intangible cultural heritage in modern China
Streamlining Operational Efficiency Through Inter-organizational Business Network in Beijing, China
Get PDFThis study investigates the relationship between inter-organizational business networks and operational efficiency among 300 employees across various industries in Beijing, China. Using a quantitative comparative correlational design, the research revealed high implementation levels of inter-organizational networks in risk management with a mean of 2.89, advocacy at 2.89, innovation at 2.90, and flexibility at 2.74. Operational efficiency demonstrated strong performance in production with a mean of 3.12 and supply chain management at 3.08, while inventory management scored lower at 2.73. Demographic analysis showed employees with 5-10 years of service perceived network effectiveness 15% higher than newer colleagues, and female respondents reported 8% greater satisfaction with collaborative advocacy. The study identified three key mechanisms connecting networks to efficiency: resource sharing with a beta of 0.42, knowledge transfer at 0.38, and joint problem-solving at 0.35. These findings indicate that while inter-organizational networks significantly enhance operational performance, their impact varies across business functions and employee demographics. The research proposes a strategic implementation plan featuring inventory optimization software, supply chain visibility platforms, and cross-functional advocacy teams, with an estimated budget of 900,000 yuan to maximize network benefits

Artificial Intelligence-Driven Tactical Analysis In Football Training
Get PDFWith the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, the application of AI in competitive sports continues to deepen, reshaping the structure and logic of football training. Based on the literature method, this article selects 45 representative research results on topics such as "artificial intelligence", "football training", and "physical education" from Chinese core and English authoritative journals from 2002 to 2025 as analysis samples, and systematically sorts out the application paths and development trends of AI technology in modern football training. The study found that artificial intelligence is mainly used in key links such as motion recognition, tactical modeling, fatigue monitoring and injury prediction, which effectively improves the accuracy of training, the real-time feedback and the scientific nature of strategy adjustment. For example, through the fusion of computer vision and sensor data, real-time capture of players' movement postures and deviation warnings can be achieved; with the help of machine learning models and spatial analysis algorithms, decision-making efficiency in tactical drills can be significantly improved. In the educational dimension, the introduction of AI has broken the barriers between theoretical teaching and practical training, and promoted the transformation of college sports courses to "data-driven" and "technology-enabled". The study further pointed out that colleges and universities should strengthen students' data literacy, platform operation capabilities and interdisciplinary technology understanding in coach training to adapt to new teaching requirements in the context of intelligence. Combining actual teaching experience, the article constructs a multidimensional model of college football training under AI empowerment, and puts forward optimization suggestions at the education system level in terms of curriculum reform, technology introduction and teacher training. This study not only clarifies the technical context of the current integration of artificial intelligence and football training, but also provides a theoretical basis and practical path for the intelligent transformation of sports education, which has important practical significance and forward-looking value

Current Challenges and Possibilities for Improving Physical Education Management Program in a Normal University in China
Get PDFThis study investigates the current challenges and potential improvements in physical education (PE) management at Huanggang Normal University in the post-pandemic educational landscape. As schools transition back to face-to-face learning, the need to address the decline in students’ physical health and to enhance the delivery of PE programs has become increasingly urgent. Using a quantitative-comparative-correlational research design, the study surveyed 70 PE teachers at the university, examining their assessments of existing difficulties in budget management, resource utilization, professional development, teaching strategies, and curriculum innovation. The demographic profile of respondents was also analyzed in relation to their perceptions. Findings reveal that PE management remains challenging across multiple domains, with particularly low satisfaction in areas such as funding allocation, communication of available resources, and relevance of professional development. Nevertheless, teachers acknowledged moderate possibilities for improvement, suggesting a cautious optimism toward reforming current systems. Based on the results, a development plan was proposed emphasizing financial optimization, enhanced resource access, teacher training, diversified instructional methods, and holistic wellness integration. The study provides valuable insights into the systemic issues affecting PE programs in higher education and offers practical strategies for improving the quality and effectiveness of physical education in a post-pandemic context
Communication Transparency in School Management and Teachers’ Organizational Trust in a University in Beijing, China
Get PDF Effective communication within school management has a significant impact on organizational trust among teachers. Transparency in communication involves openly sharing accurate and timely information, fostering an environment of mutual respect and collaboration. In schools, where teamwork and mutual understanding are crucial, the role of transparent communication cannot be overstated. Recent research has highlighted its profound impact on the development of trust in educational institutions (Rajapaksha & Dissanayake, 2021; Praphatsorn & Wannapiroon, 2023).
Transparency in communication can reduce ambiguity and ensure that teachers understand decisions that affect their work, thereby building trust. Transparent communication within school management enables teachers to align their professional goals with those of the institution. This alignment, in turn, fosters a sense of shared responsibility and ownership, strengthening trust in leadership. These practices include regular staff meetings, open lines of communication, and clearly communicated policies. Perceptions of decision fairness are also closely linked to transparency in communication. When school leaders openly share the rationale behind decisions, teachers perceive a greater sense of fairness and inclusion. A study by Ahmad and Farooq i (2021) found that teachers’ trust and morale levels increased significantly in schools that implemented transparent decision-making processes. This trust fostered a supportive environment conducive to collaboration and innovation in teaching practices
A Study on Exploring the Innovation of English Writing Teaching Mode in Inner Mongolia Universities Guided by Cultural Identity
Get PDFThis study aims to explore an innovative English writing teaching model guided by cultural identity for universities in Inner Mongolia, addressing the issue of students’ “cultural aphasia” and enhancing their ability to express local culture effectively in English. Adopting a theoretical and practical approach, the research integrates the rich ethnic cultural resources of Inner Mongolia—such as grassland ecology, nomadic traditions, and literary arts—into the English writing curriculum. Key methods include restructuring teaching content, designing localized writing themes, incorporating cultural comparison and critical thinking, reforming evaluation mechanisms, and enhancing teachers’ cross-cultural literacy. The proposed model fosters students’ cultural subjectivity, improves their comprehensive language application skills, and strengthens their cultural confidence and cross-cultural communication abilities. The study concludes that this culturally responsive teaching model not only supports foreign language education reform in ethnic regions but also cultivates students’ patriotism and their capacity to disseminate Chinese and Inner Mongolian cultures globally
