Shiqi Bao — 2026-03-31

Amid the rapid evolution of the digital economy, the convergence of business intelligence (BI) and artificial intelligence (AI) has become a key driver of enterprise digital transformation, intensifying the demand for interdisciplinary professionals who possess both business acumen and technical expertise in intelligent systems. As an emerging interdisciplinary course that integrates computer science, management science, and statistics, Business Intelligence and Artificial Intelligence faces several pedagogical challenges. These include a disconnect between technical instruction and real-world business contexts, superficial integration of AI content into the curriculum, and a misalignment between practical training and current industry needs. Drawing on existing teaching reform literature and emphasizing the integrated nature of BI and AI education, this paper proposes a comprehensive teaching framework centered on content, methodology, practice, and assessment. Specifically, it outlines innovative pathways across four dimensions: redesigning curriculum content, transforming instructional approaches, constructing a multi-tiered practical training system, and refining evaluation mechanisms. Each pathway is discussed in terms of implementation strategies and necessary resource support, with a focus on applied instruction that embeds AI technologies within authentic business scenarios. The proposed model aims to enhance teaching quality and cultivate applied, interdisciplinary talent equipped to meet evolving industry demands.

Xiaoyun Qi — 2026-03-31

To accurately grasp the current situation of Chinese citizens’ emergency quality for accidents and disasters, explore its external environmental influencing factors and scientific improvement paths, an emergency quality model including seven dimensions—emergency knowledge, emergency skills, self-cognition, personal traits, values, personal motivation, and social role—was constructed based on the Iceberg Competency Model. A questionnaire survey was conducted with 267 questionnaires distributed and 261 valid ones recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 97.8%. The results of data regression analysis show that in the emergency environment, family learning, school learning, public service advertisements, and school drills play a significantly positive role in improving emergency quality, with family learning having the most prominent impact, while the impacts of social media and other safety training institutions are not significant. Finally, targeted improvement countermeasures are proposed from four aspects: improving the emergency mechanism, expanding publicity channels, strengthening emergency education, and carrying out emergency drills, providing empirical support and practical reference for advancing the modernization of China’s emergency management system.

Construction and Practice of “Wisdom + Ideological and Political Education” Course in Veterinary Microbiology

Jiedan Liao — 2026-03-31

With the deepening of educational digital transformation, university curriculum development is entering a critical phase of transitioning from “digital resources” to “intelligent teaching.” Addressing current challenges in smart course construction, such as knowledge fragmentation, “black-box” competency cultivation, and rigid integration of ideological and political education, this paper proposes an integrated approach based on the knowledge graph, competency graph, and ideological and political education graph. Taking the provincial-level exemplary course “Veterinary Microbiology” (a Guangdong First-Class Course) as a case study, the research reconstructs cognitive logic through structured knowledge graphs, clarifies training objectives via competency graphs, and systematically guides values through ideological and political education graphs, forming a new teaching ecosystem characterized by “knowledge as foundation, competence as priority, and values as soul.” Teaching practice demonstrates that this model effectively enhances students’ professional knowledge mastery, complex engineering problem-solving abilities, and vocational value recognition, providing a replicable paradigm for smart curriculum reform in veterinary medicine under the new agricultural science context.

This study examines the communication strategies for integrating excellent traditional Chinese culture (ETCC) into ideological and political education (IPE) in Dongguan universities within the short-video era. Employing a questionnaire survey of 247 university students, the research analyzes students’ short-video usage behaviors, exposure to cultural and ideological content, perceptions of communication effectiveness, and participation intentions through quantitative statistical methods. The findings indicate that short-video platforms have become a primary channel for students’ media consumption and demonstrate significant potential for enhancing cultural identity and value recognition. However, challenges remain, including insufficient content depth and systematicity, a mismatch between communication formats and youth aesthetic preferences, and underdeveloped collaborative production mechanisms. Based on communication theory, IPE theory, and youth culture perspectives, this study proposes strategies emphasizing content optimization, format innovation, and multi-actor collaboration. The research contributes empirical evidence for improving digital communication models of IPE and provides practical implications for universities seeking to promote culturally grounded education in the new media environment.

Research on the Integration and Development of Hainan Traditional Culture and China’s Classical Dance Performance

Yanpeng Wei — 2026-03-31

Hainan’s traditional culture is rooted in the Central Plains heritage, the intangible cultural heritage of the Li and Miao ethnic groups, marine ecology, the overseas Chinese hometown of Nanyang, and the culture of exiled officials. It combines ethnic, maritime, open, and inclusive characteristics, serving as an important component of China’s outstanding regional culture. China’s classical dance, with its aesthetic core of “vivid energy, harmony of form and spirit, and balanced curves”, embodies the traditional Chinese aesthetic spirit. The two share natural points of convergence in cultural roots, aesthetic conceptions, and physical expression. Their integrated development can not only infuse classical dance with regional characteristics and vitality but also revitalize Hainan’s traditional culture through dance art, contributing to the cultural dissemination and tourism integration of the free trade port. This paper reviews the core resources of Hainan’s traditional culture and the aesthetic traits of classical dance, analyzes the value, current status, and challenges of their integration, and constructs a development path from five dimensions: creation, teaching, performance, dissemination, and support. It also provides examples through Hainan’s original dance dramas and repertoire practices, offering theoretical references and practical solutions for the innovation of Hainan’s dance art, the inheritance of traditional culture, and the upgrading of the cultural tourism industry.

The Dilemma and Optimization Countermeasures of the Construction of One-stop Student Communities in Universities

Jinsong Wu — 2026-03-31

The “one-stop” student community initiative in universities serves as a pivotal measure to foster students’ holistic development and enhance faculty-student integration, playing a crucial role in campus cultural development and student community governance. However, challenges such as uncoordinated community development, inadequate digital governance, and fragmented educational collaboration persist during implementation. To address these issues, universities should explore optimization strategies and implement targeted measures, including digital empowerment, substantive enhancement, and the establishment of a “co-constructed, shared, and co-governed” “one-stop” student community. Continuous refinement of the community framework will ensure sustained improvements in educational outcomes.

Research on the Paths to Enhance Students’ Subjectivity in Piano Teaching at Colleges and Universities

Mengyi Zhou — 2026-03-31

Piano teaching in colleges and universities is an important way to cultivate students’ musical literacy and aesthetic ability. However, at present, due to problems such as a single teaching model, outdated curriculum settings, and students’ passive acceptance, students’ subjectivity is seriously lacking, which limits the quality of piano teaching and the role of aesthetic education. Against this research background, this paper analyzes the core reasons for the lack of students’ subjectivity in piano teaching in detail from the aspects of rigid teaching concepts, disconnection between curriculum content and students’ needs, insufficient interactivity of teaching methods, and lack of practical platforms. Furthermore, the paper puts forward targeted teaching reform strategies to construct a student-centered piano teaching paradigm and create a good environment for students’ learning initiative and creative development.

Binarity of Language: An Alternative to Chomskyan Analysis of Syntactic Structure

Yunyun Qian — 2026-03-31

This paper proposes and defines the new construct of Pedagogical English Grammar based on a scrutiny of English grammar from the perspective of prescriptivism. Thenceforth, cognitive binarity manifests itself in Pedagogical English Grammar, involving noun-verb binarity and other binary characteristics, which are identified as Binarity of Language that can form an intersection with machine language by way of Boolean calculation. Furthermore, Binarity of Language gives rise to an alternative to Chomskyan analysis of syntactic structure and can dissolve the Chomskyan UG conundrum. This paper formally endorses the term of Chomskyan Linguistics, as it designates human-oriented theoretical linguistics as an interdisciplinary field of study concerning such disciplines as biology, physics, and mathematics.

The Practice of Integrating CLIL and Bloom’s Taxonomy in Business English Courses

Mengyang Lyu — 2026-03-31

With the aim of improving business English major students’ ability to apply theoretical knowledge to practical tasks, this paper describes the method of combining CLIL teaching methodology and Bloom’s taxonomy theory in business English courses. The paper points out that the traditional teaching system guided solely by the CLIL method may ignore students’ cognitive foundation, as they have never learned any business-related knowledge. With the combination of CLIL’s 4C framework and the six cognitive levels of Bloom’s theory, teachers can better design the teaching objectives and activities of each stage in business-related courses.
