OBE-Driven Ideological and Political Education Reform in Event Management: A Case Study of Event Planning and Management
Get PDFUnder the National Education Strengthening Strategy, the development of “curriculum-based ideological and political education” in higher education has entered a deepening phase. However, event-related majors face challenges like forced ideological incorporation, weak value guidance in practice, and oversimplified evaluation. Using the provincial demonstration course Event Planning and Management as a case, and based on the OBE (Outcome-Based Education) concept, this study innovatively constructs an HCCR curriculum-based ideological and political education goal system, which includes four dimensions: Humanistic Sentiment (cultivating cultural identity and patriotism), Career Competence (strengthening professional standards and occupational responsibility), Creative Thinking (cultivating innovation awareness and practical wisdom), and Social Responsibility (shaping international perspectives and sustainable development views). In terms of teaching methods, it adopts a combination of PBL project-driven method and case teaching, and conducts 'ideological and political education into practice' activities through internships at international exhibitions such as the Canton Fair, extending ideological education from the university to the industry. At the same time, a dual evaluation mechanism for teachers and students is established. This study provides a systematic reform plan for the ideological and political education of applied professional courses, 'goal-oriented—diverse methods—dual evaluation', not only fulfills the requirements of the National Education Strengthening Strategy to "establish an education system guided by ideological and political principles", but also providing an effective path to solve the structural contradictions in the cultivation of talents in the exhibition industry
Teachers' Familiarity with Machine Learning Concepts and Their Acceptance of Predictive Learning Technologies in a Technical College in Sichuan Province, China
Get PDFThis study investigates the relationship between teachers' familiarity with machine learning (ML) concepts and their acceptance of predictive learning technologies (PLTs) at Sichuan Automotive Vocational and Technical College in China. A descriptive-comparative-correlational research design was employed, collecting data from 350 teachers via a structured questionnaire. Results indicated that teachers possessed only a slight familiarity with core ML concepts and a slightly accepting attitude towards PLTs. A very strong, statistically significant positive correlation was found between ML familiarity and technological acceptance. Furthermore, demographic factors such as education level and years of service significantly influenced both familiarity and acceptance. The findings highlight a critical need for targeted professional development programs that not only build foundational ML literacy but also address practical application and ethical concerns to foster greater adoption and effective use of predictive technologies in the classroom
Research on the Educational Pathways of Student Association Practices under the Rural Revitalization Strategy: An Analysis Based on the Marxist View of Practice
Get PDFGuided by the Marxist theory of practice, this study explores the educational logic and realization pathways embedded in university student association activities within the context of China’s national Rural Revitalization Strategy. The findings reveal that student associations, through multi-dimensional practices such as educational support, technological services, and cultural inheritance, not only respond effectively to the developmental needs of rural communities but also facilitate participants’ knowledge application, capacity enhancement, and value formation—thereby achieving a dialectical unity between social service and personal development. However, the study also identifies several challenges, including structural mismatches between service provision and rural needs, as well as tensions between cognitive enrichment and practical efficacy. To address these issues, this paper proposes the construction of an integrated practice-based education system, the deepening of collaborative education mechanisms through university–local partnerships, and the improvement of scientific and diversified evaluation and incentive systems. These measures aim to provide theoretical support and practical guidance for the high-quality development of practice-oriented education models
Innovation Strategies for Cultural Heritage Revitalization: A Digital Technology-Driven Approach in Hohhot’s “Museum City”
Get PDFIn this paper, we consider how the digital revives our cultural heritage, through mixed-methods case study of Hohhot’s “Museum City”, exploring with the theories of “digital authenticity” and “participatory heritage”, in terms of its immersive VR reconstructions, and with AI multilingual interpretation systems, and its IoT-based environment supervision.Through our experimental results, we achieve a low-cost AR/VR-based hybrid model with an adopted sense-of-place that has a positive impact by bringing tourism revenue growth at 35%(2021-2023). It tackles potential harms (such as an AI-simplified depiction of the minorities’ history) under policy recommendations that favor inclusive and multistakeholder governance while being consistent with China’s policy aim of being a ”Digital China” and providing opportunities for communities to thrive in non-coastal areas of China
Research on the Enhancement Mechanism of Business English Teachers' Digital Literacy from the Perspective of Self-Determination Theory: An Empirical Investigation Based in Hunan Province,China
Get PDFAgainst the backdrop of educational digital transformation, the Business English discipline must trigger its teaching digital transformation to meet the talent development demands of industrial transformation and globalization achieve the goal of cultivating applied talents. This study, guided by the Self-Determination Theory, surveyed Business English teachers in Hunan Province to investigate their overall level of three needs covered in the theory. The author employed a questionnaire survey, utilizing a self-developed scale based on the Teacher Digital Literacy Standards designed by Chinese Education Ministry, to sample 125 Business English teachers in Hunan Province. All 125 distributed questionnaires were returned valid. Data were analyzed using SPSS software. The findings reveal that: (1) Teacher have no motivation to persist in continuous digital teaching practice and proactive creative power despite their own high-level recognition of digital transformation; (2) Teachers show their competence deficiency in higher-level application including the analysis and transformation of students’ feedback and exploration of teaching resources with enterprises; and (3) Teachers show their dilemma in the high individual endeavor but low community interactivity, reflecting the loss of satisfaction of relatedness need. From the perspective of SDT, this study suggests that Business English teachers’ intrinsic motivation could be accelerated with the realization of basic psychological needs, which are realized with the combination of external regulation, introjected regulation, identified regulation and integrated regulation for which teachers themselves, administrators and enterprises are responsible together. This study provides valuable implementations to accelerate the development of Business English teachers self-determination level, which are valuable reference for the formulation of training policies
Research on the Dilemmas and Breakthrough Paths of Two-Way Bridging between Kindergarten and Primary School from the Perspective of Collaborative Education
Get PDFThe transition from early childhood education to compulsory education is a critical link profoundly impacting children's physical and mental development. The concept of "two-way bridging" aims to break the limitations of the traditional one-sided approach and promote collaborative education between kindergartens and primary schools. From the perspective of synergy theory, and through questionnaires and in-depth interviews, this paper systematically analyzes the main dilemmas faced by the current two-way bridging process across four subsystems: curriculum, teachers, parents, and policy. The study finds that issues such as a disjointed curriculum system, lack of teacher collaboration mechanisms, prominent parental educational anxiety, and weak policy implementation seriously hinder the effective execution of two-way bridging. Based on this, the paper constructs a "four-in-one" collaborative path from the dimensions of curriculum co-development, teacher collaboration, parental guidance, and policy optimization to promote scientific kindergarten-primary school transition and provide theoretical reference and practical guidance for achieving a smooth transition for children
A Research on the Handling Strategies of Fuzzy Information in Diplomatic Alternating Translation
No full textThis study aims to solve the problem that fuzzy information in diplomatic consecutive interpreting may lead to inaccurate information transmission and even diplomatic disputes. First, it sorts out core concepts of consecutive interpreting, fuzzy information theory, and relevance theory to lay a theoretical foundation. Then, it systematically analyzes specific manifestations and causes of three common types of fuzzy information in diplomatic consecutive interpreting: semantic ambiguity, pragmatic ambiguity, and cultural ambiguity. Building on this typology, the study integrates the optimal relevance principle of relevance theory, the study explores practical strategies for handling these fuzzy information types, including translation techniques like addition and omission, and auxiliary tools such as note-taking, pauses, and speech rate control. Key findings show that taking optimal relevance as the core and flexibly combining translation strategies with auxiliary tools can effectively improve the accuracy of fuzzy information interpretation. The study provides theoretical guidance and practical references for interpreters to enhance their skills,and points out that future research can use empirical methods to compare interpreters of different proficiency levels in handling fuzzy information
The Development of Personal Brand in Promoting Business Resiliency in a Selected Sporting Goods Retail Company in Yunnan Province, China
Get PDFThis study examines the relationship between personal brand development and business resiliency in a sporting goods retail company in Yunnan Province, China. Using a descriptive-correlational design, we analyzed five dimensions of personal branding (social media engagement, content creation, professional expertise, emotional components, and trust) and six aspects of business resiliency (risk management, supply chain resilience, technological integration, soft controls, social capital, and entrepreneurial characteristics). Results showed moderate integration of personal branding among employees, with social media engagement (WM=3.03) and emotional components scoring highest, while trust (WM=2.87) and professional expertise showed room for improvement. Business resiliency was similarly moderate (Overall WM=2.89), with entrepreneurial characteristics (WM=3.18) and social capital (WM=3.01) as strengths, while risk management (WM=2.63) needed attention. A significant positive correlation (r=0.318, p<0.001) was found between personal branding and business resiliency, highlighting their interdependence. Gender and position influenced perceptions, with females rating technological integration higher and senior employees showing stronger entrepreneurial alignment. The findings suggest that targeted personal branding training, enhanced risk management strategies, and fostering an entrepreneurial culture could strengthen organizational resilience. These insights provide practical guidance for retail companies seeking to leverage employee branding for competitive advantage
The Application of CIPP Model in the Value-added Evaluation of Physical Education Skills Teaching in Higher Vocational Colleges
Get PDFThis study investigates the application of the CIPP (Context, Input, Process, Product) model in conducting value-added evaluation of physical education (PE) skills teaching in higher vocational colleges. Traditional outcome-based assessment models in vocational PE often fail to account for individual student growth and contextual differences, leading to limited pedagogical effectiveness. With the CIPP model, this research constructs a comprehensive, student-centered evaluation framework designed to capture dynamic learning progress and enhance instructional quality. The study explores five major aspects: relevance of the CIPP model to vocational PE evaluation, practical challenges in implementation, framework and indicator design, weight determination using analytic methods, and dynamic adjustment mechanisms. Data were collected through expert consultations, large-scale surveys, and longitudinal field applications across multiple institutions, ensuring empirical rigor. The results demonstrate that the CIPP-based evaluation system improves feedback precision, supports continuous teaching improvement, and aligns with the principles of scientific validity, systemic integration, operability, and adaptability. The study concludes that the CIPP model offers a theoretically sound and practically feasible framework for advancing value-added evaluation in PE teaching within the context of higher vocational education
Research on the Optimization Path of Integrity System in Private Universities——Taking Inner Mongolia Honder College of Arts and Science as an example
Get PDFConducting the construction of integrity ethics and implementing integrity education projects have always been regarded as one of the crucial tasks in the construction of the social credit system. As a private undergraduate university in the autonomous region, Inner Mongolia Honder College of Arts and Science plays an indispensable role in building a culture of integrity and promoting integrity construction. For private universities, which focus on social responsibility, quality education, campus culture construction, brand building, and word-of-mouth communication, building an integrity system is an essential way to demonstrate a high sense of social responsibility and excellent educational quality, as well as to enhance the overall image and competitiveness. However, there are still deficiencies in the institutionalization of integrity, curriculum system construction, integrity construction of "key groups," and means of integrity construction in private universities. Based on the above issues, targeted optimization measures should be proposed to provide useful reference and guidance for other private universities
