Reforming Primary Moral and Civic Education through Student Agency and the Spirit of Scientists

Rongping Hu — 2026-02-04

Focusing on primary education, this paper reports a curriculum reform that integrates the “scientist spirit” into inquiry-based learning while safeguarding both value-oriented education and student agency. The reform translates core value elements (truth-seeking, creativity, collaboration, responsibility) into observable learning behaviours and anchors them in a co-regulatory formative assessment mechanism that aligns disciplinary understanding, epistemic reasoning, and value construction. A five-phase learning cycle, which includes problem framing, evidence building, dialogic argumentation, public communication, and reflective transfer, is implemented through dialogic pedagogy and collaborative routines. Assessment is evidence-centred and closes the loop among teacher scaffolding, peer review, and self-regulation. The proposal responds to the evidence debate surrounding inquiry versus direct instruction by advocating “structured inquiry with strategic explicit teaching,” and offers an operational, reusable, and scalable model for value education in primary schools with potential transfer to interdisciplinary thematic learning and school-based professional development.

Yin Liu — 2026-02-04

In today’s era of profound restructuring of the global communication landscape, China’s international communication is undergoing a systematic transformation from one-way output to multi-dimensional dialogue. Guided by the theory of “goodwill communication”, this paper explores how to achieve the affable shaping of China’s image through institutional innovation and content governance in the omni-media communication ecosystem. The research points out that building a collaborative and symbiotic communication matrix requires advancing the platform structure from “single-unit distribution” to “systematic matrix”, transforming the content mechanism from “macro narrative” to “empathic symbiosis”, and realizing precise reach and immersive communication relying on intelligent technologies. Meanwhile, the cross-border collaboration ecosystem and goodwill-based evaluation system jointly promote the transformation of international communication from institutional behavior to social common practice. Through case studies across multiple regions, this paper explains the practical paths of the omni-media communication ecosystem in integrating resources, activating subjects, and connecting emotions, providing institutional support for the global, regional, and humanized expression of Chinese stories. Ultimately, it promotes the formation of a new communication pattern of “everyone is a medium, everywhere is visible”, shaping a real, three-dimensional, and warm Chinese image on the international stage.

Research on the Adaptation Status and Optimization Strategies of International Students’ Second Classroom in China from a Cross-Cultural Perspective: A Case Study of Ningbo University

Yueyi Cheng — 2026-02-04

With the advancement of the internationalization of China’s higher education, the second classroom, as a core carrier for international students’ cross-cultural adaptation, has become increasingly prominent in importance. Taking Ningbo University as a case, this study systematically explores the current situation, challenges, and underlying causes of international students’ participation in the second classroom from the perspective of cross-cultural adaptation theory through questionnaires and in-depth interviews. The research finds that international students at the university have a high participation rate in the second classroom, achieving remarkable results in improving language proficiency and deepening cultural understanding. However, there are four core problems: one-way cultural display, lack of language support, imbalance between universalization and personalization in activity design, and fragmented information dissemination. The root cause lies in the failure of activity design to fully reflect the two-way, complex, and process-oriented characteristics of cross-cultural adaptation. Based on this, this paper proposes optimization strategies for constructing a “two-way integration” second classroom model, including promoting the transformation of activity content from “cultural display” to “cultural co-creation”, establishing a hierarchical and classified language support system, implementing customized management based on precise demand profiling, and building a multi-dimensional collaborative support network. It aims to provide theoretical reference and practical paths for universities to optimize the second classroom system for international students.
