Student-Centered Teaching Reform of University Basketball “Micro-Competitions” – A Tiered Inquiry Strategy Based on Game Data

Xiao Liu — 2026-06-30

Against the background of physical education teaching reform in universities across the country, the traditional teaching model has revealed its limitations. Teacher-centered instruction, insufficient personalized guidance for students, passive learning, and low efficiency in practical application have become urgent problems to be solved in current basketball course teaching. Based on the traditional “explanation-demonstration-practice” structure, it is found in the 90-minute class that: the frequency of teacher-student interaction is 0.8 times per minute, the actual effective practice time of students is about 20%, the average concentration duration of students is generally no more than 17 minutes, less than 45% of the skills learned by students in traditional teaching can be applied in actual combat, and there is an obvious difference in students’ sports ability in teaching classes (Gini coefficient reaches 0.49). Traditional teaching usually sets teaching objectives for students with medium sports ability. In view of the above phenomena, we attempt to construct a new hierarchical teaching method based on the “micro-competition” teaching model, relying on current big data platforms and advanced multimedia technologies. We organize small groups (such as 2v2, 3v3, 4v4, 5v5) to carry out high-frequency and short-duration confrontations, and provide hierarchical guidance on students’ techniques and tactics. To realize precise grouping and personalized guidance, the TTPQ four-dimensional evaluation system is introduced. Emphasizing students’ dominance in competitions, we aim to improve students’ abilities in technique and tactic application, timely decision-making and team cooperation in actual combat through tactical design, role rotation and real-time review and improvement, so as to provide a feasible path for changing the current situation of “unified teaching, neglecting actual combat” in university physical education.

On Family Tutoring from the Perspective of Reconstructive Memory: A Review Analysis of the “Empirical Completion” Phenomenon in Middle Childhood Children

Shangru Li — 2026-06-30

Children in middle childhood often produce comprehension errors in the context of family tutoring, and these errors cannot be explained merely by carelessness, insufficient practice, or simple forgetting. This paper provides a retrospective conceptual analysis and names such biased error phenomena “empirical completion”. It aims to illustrate that when children experience such phenomena, they unconsciously fill the information gaps formed during memory encoding with existing empirical schemas in their minds. Then, in the process of memory reconstruction, the incorrectly filled information is mistaken by children as part of the original memory, thus outputting an incorrect overall memory that is inconsistent with the original reality. By integrating literature on reconstructive memory, schematic processing, source-monitoring framework, retrieval practice, and corrective feedback, this study clarifies the exact definition, scope, and exclusion criteria of the concept of “empirical completion”, summarizes its main manifestations in the family tutoring environment, and analyzes four possible intervention paths suitable for family tutoring, including information source cueing, multi-context memory encoding support, guided retrieval practice, and scaffolded corrective feedback.

Research on Stratified Training Strategies for Elderly Care Talents Under the Background of Integrated Medical and Elderly Care

Yingying Li — 2026-06-30

In recent years, the aging of the population in China has become increasingly serious. With the continuous deepening of medical and elderly care policies, the demand for compound and stratified nursing talents in elderly care services is increasingly urgent. Against this background, higher vocational colleges urgently need to reconstruct the training system of elderly care talents, especially focusing on stratified and classified talent training. Only in this way can the quality of elderly care services be comprehensively improved and the sustainable development of the industry be promoted. Based on the background of integrated medical and elderly care and the current situation of supply and demand of elderly care services in China, this paper first briefly expounds on the significance of stratified training of elderly care talents, and then summarizes effective strategies for stratified training. It is hoped to further optimize the talent supply structure, improve the adaptability of students to future posts, and cultivate more high-quality talents to actively respond to the aging of the population.

Research on the “Four-Dimensional Drive” Transformation Path for Interdisciplinary Integration of Digital Media Art in Private Universities

Chengwen Sun — 2026-06-30

In the digital-intelligent era, digital media art urgently needs to cultivate interdisciplinary innovative talents through interdisciplinary integration. Although private universities are constrained by limited resources, they can build characteristic transformation paths with their flexible mechanisms. Based on analyzing the current dilemmas in interdisciplinary integration, this paper proposes that the underlying logic of interdisciplinary integration should shift from a “disciplinary patchwork” to a “chemical fusion”, with curriculum restructuring driven by a project-based system. Furthermore, integrating reform experience from multiple domestic universities, this paper designs a systematic transformation model driven by the “four dimensions” of technology, art, business, and cognition: the technology dimension empowers light-asset infrastructure construction with AIGC; the art dimension promotes the integration of Oriental aesthetics and digital-intelligent technology; the business dimension deepens industry-education collaboration for agile responsiveness; the cognition dimension strengthens critical thinking and ethical literacy. This model provides an operable overall framework for the high-quality development of digital media art in private universities.

Classroom Practice of Analog and Digital Electronic Technology under the Collaborative Teaching Mode of AI and Teachers

Ying Tian — 2026-06-30

To address the common pain points in conventional classrooms of Analog and Digital Electronic Technology, namely insufficient personalized support, disconnection between theory and practice, and low student engagement, this study constructs an AI-teacher collaborative teaching model. Centered on a three-dimensional collaborative system covering personalized learning, virtual-reality integrated practice and interactive motivation, the model generates accurate learning profiles of students through the combination of AI learning analytics systems and teachers’ empirical calibration, and meets personalized learning needs via stratified teaching and dynamic learning plans. It also reshapes the classroom interaction ecosystem with the support of AI-intelligent Q&A, interesting interactive tools, as well as teachers’ guidance and incentives. The core innovation lies in defining the complementary roles: AI undertakes data processing, real-time guidance and interactive support, while teachers are responsible for objective setting, professional tutoring and classroom atmosphere building, thereby forming a full-process teaching closed loop. Practical results show that the proposed model can effectively improve students’ knowledge mastery efficiency and engineering practical competence, and provide a feasible reference for the teaching reform of Analog and Digital Electronic Technology and other similar engineering courses.

Research on Enrollment Difficulties and Breakthrough Paths of Open Education from the Perspective of Learning City: Based on the Practical Exploration of Ningbo Open University

Linhong Hu — 2026-06-30

With the accelerating iteration of knowledge, lifelong learning has been integrated into the daily rhythm of urban development. Since Ningbo included “Learning City” in its planning, adult education has become a cornerstone rather than a supplement. As part of Ningbo’s higher education system, Ningbo Open University has undertaken a large number of “cornerstone” projects in promoting adult education and lifelong learning. However, Ningbo Open University is also facing enrollment difficulties in the process of learning city construction. The investigation shows that the enrollment dilemmas of Ningbo Open University are mainly reflected in the disconnection between market demand and enrollment supply, insufficient publicity, mismatched curriculum provision with social needs, and low social recognition. In response to these problems, this paper puts forward a series of strategies such as strengthening social publicity, optimizing curriculum provision, building school-enterprise cooperation platforms, and expanding enrollment channels, so as to provide effective solutions to Ningbo Open University’s enrollment difficulties.

Research on the Dilemmas and Countermeasures of Discipline Enforcement Education by University Counselors Who Are Also League Cadres from the Perspective of Comprehensive and Strict Governance of the Communist Youth League

Zeyu Gao — 2026-06-30

Comprehensive and strict governance of the Communist Youth League (CYL) is an important measure for the CYL in the new era to follow the Party’s pace in advancing self-reform. As key subjects with dual identities of CYL cadres and ideological and political educators, university counselors who are also league cadres play a critical role in discipline enforcement of the CYL at universities. Against the background of the requirements of comprehensive and strict governance of the CYL, this paper objectively defines the core role connotation of these counselors in discipline enforcement education, deeply analyzes the practical dilemmas they face in carrying out discipline enforcement education, and puts forward targeted countermeasures. This is conducive to promoting the in-depth integration of discipline enforcement education and ideological and political education of the university CYL, effectively improving the effectiveness of discipline enforcement education, and providing practical references for the implementation of comprehensive and strict governance of the CYL at the grassroots level in universities.

The Impact of AI-Generated Language on Critical Thinking Skills

Bing Li — 2026-06-30

The proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI) in everyday communication, from automated content creation to AI-assisted writing tools, has fundamentally altered how individuals use and produce language. While these technologies offer unprecedented efficiency and accessibility, concerns are mounting regarding their potential impact on human cognitive faculties, particularly critical thinking. This study investigates the relationship between AI-generated language and critical thinking skills, positing that overreliance on AI for cognitive tasks may lead to a decline in analytical reasoning, argument evaluation, and independent problem-solving. Employing a mixed-methods research design, the study integrates quantitative data, derived from standardized critical thinking assessments administered to control and experimental groups exposed to varying degrees of AI-generated content, with qualitative data gathered from in-depth interviews and think-aloud protocols. The quantitative phase measures the correlation between the frequency of AI tool usage and performance on critical thinking metrics, while the qualitative phase explores the cognitive processes, perceptions, and behavioral adaptations of users as they interact with AI-generated text. The research has two primary objectives: first, to quantify the correlation between AI-language dependency and specific dimensions of critical thinking, such as logical fallacy recognition and source credibility assessment; and second, to qualitatively explore the cognitive offloading behaviors that occur when individuals use AI tools for complex writing and analysis tasks. The findings will benefit a broad spectrum of stakeholders. Educators and curriculum developers will gain insights for integrating AI literacy into pedagogical frameworks, while policymakers can utilize this evidence to formulate guidelines for responsible AI deployment in academic and professional settings.

Teaching Media Ethics as a Controversy: A Pragmatic Framework for Chinese Journalism Education

Jiacheng Li — 2026-06-30

Journalism education in China currently operates within a profound structural tension: it must strictly adhere to the state-mandated “Marxist View of Journalism” as its fundamental ideological guide, while simultaneously equipping students with the professional competencies demanded by a globalized media environment. This deep-seated normative friction often compels educators to adopt defensive “gatekeeping” strategies and bureaucratic risk aversion in the classroom. Consequently, students experience a severe epistemic disconnect between sanitized theoretical instruction and the complex, morally ambiguous dilemmas of real-world reporting, rendering them vulnerable to cynicism and narratives proclaiming the “uselessness of journalism.” Drawing upon Michael Hand’s “epistemic criterion,” this essay argues that media ethics must be explicitly taught as an open, controversial issue. It demonstrates that both Western liberal models and contemporary Chinese Marxist paradigms possess profound internal theoretical coherence and practical rationality, despite their conflicting ontological assumptions regarding state power and the public good. To break the current pedagogical deadlock without compromising macro-political safety, this paper proposes a localized adaptation of Thomas E. Kelly’s “Committed Impartiality.” Within this framework, “commitment” is redefined as an institutional baseline that treats the Marxist view as a non-negotiable professional boundary, while "impartiality" is re-operationalized as descriptive professionalism that ensures a fair, evidence-based presentation of competing paradigms. Furthermore, this theoretical model is enacted through a structured “Collaborative Argumentation” mechanism, a four-phase classroom procedure incorporating technical topic selection, depoliticized semantic shifts, and disciplined role-playing. Ultimately, this framework provides a politically viable and epistemically rigorous compromise, safeguarding critical micro-level spaces for professional inquiry.

Strategies for Promoting Interdisciplinary Integration Through Master Teachers’ Studios

Lifeng Liu — 2026-06-30

Against the background of key-competency-oriented education reform, interdisciplinary integration has become an important approach to breaking disciplinary barriers and improving education quality. As a key carrier for teachers’ professional development, Master Teachers’ Studios feature multiple advantages, including resource aggregation, demonstration leadership, and teaching-research innovation, making them an important force in advancing the implementation of interdisciplinary integration. Based on senior high school teaching practice, this paper systematically constructs strategies for promoting interdisciplinary integration through Master Teachers’ Studios from seven dimensions: top-level design, teaching-research models, curriculum development, platform support, project leadership, evaluation reform, and team development. It provides theoretical references and practical pathways for regional high-quality education development, teachers’ professional growth, and the cultivation of students’ core competencies.
