Physical fitness test results indicate a decline in students’ overall physical conditioning. In response to the requirements for PE evaluation reform in the new era, this study draws on the university’s practical experience in curriculum reform to explore pathways for constructing a multi-dimensional evaluation system. The research proposes incorporating ideological and political education content into final theoretical examinations and establishing a long-term implementation mechanism. At the same time, it recommends aligning physical health monitoring with course learning and final assessments, strengthening the supervision and evaluation of extracurricular exercise, and utilizing the integrated in-class and extracurricular curriculum model to enhance students’ physical fitness and sports-specific skills. Through the interconnection of in-class teaching and extracurricular activities, and with physical fitness monitoring serving as a key indicator for evaluating curriculum effectiveness, these two components work in synergy to support students’ acquisition of sports skills and the development of consistent exercise habits. This ultimately aims to improve overall physical health levels, providing both practical and theoretical insights for the evaluation system of PE courses in higher education.</p> 2025-12-12T15:17:23+08:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Author(s) https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/JCER/article/view/13220 A Literature Review on the Cultivation of Vocational Undergraduate Talents in China: Essential Differences and Compatibility Requirements 2025-12-24T11:07:46+08:00 Lihong Zhong 657018071@qq.com <p>As a key initiative in China’s efforts to build a modern vocational education system, the positioning and model of talent cultivation in undergraduate-level vocational education (vocational undergraduate) have become an important issue. Based on a systematic literature review, this paper aims to clarify the essential differences between vocational undergraduate talent cultivation and regular undergraduate and higher vocational education, and to analyze its key compatibility requirements. The study finds that vocational undergraduate education inherently possesses dual characteristics of “vocational” and “higher education,” following the logic of the work system, and aims to cultivate high-level technical and skilled talents who can engage in technological integration and innovation as “domain implementers.” This stands in sharp contrast to the discipline-oriented knowledge of regular undergraduate education and the skill-oriented operation of higher vocational education. The successful implementation of vocational undergraduate talent cultivation requires meeting three compatibility requirements: alignment with industrial development needs, adaptation to learners’ individual sustainable development, and integration with the modern vocational education system. Practical approaches include clarifying cultivation positioning based on technical logic, innovating industry-education integration models, building competency-oriented curriculum systems, and developing a “dual-qualified” faculty team. Despite challenges such as social recognition and the depth of industry-education integration, the future development of vocational undergraduate education requires strengthening its distinctive characteristics, deepening school-enterprise cooperation, advancing digital transformation, and improving the vocational education system. The conclusion of this paper argues that vocational undergraduate talent cultivation is a systematic project, and its high-quality development is crucial to supporting national strategies and socio-economic development.</p> 2025-12-24T09:40:47+08:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Author(s) https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/JCER/article/view/13281 Construction and Application of College Blended Teaching System under the AI Background from the Perspective of School-Enterprise Collaboration 2026-01-05T10:42:05+08:00 Yuxiao Wang team@bbwpublisher.com <p>With the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, its application in the field of education has become increasingly widespread, bringing new opportunities and challenges to the teaching reform in colleges and universities.

Teaching practice demonstrates that this model effectively alleviates students’ fear of difficulty in course learning, enhances their engineering application abilities, and values-oriented qualities. The course has been successively recognized as a national first-class hybrid online-offline course and a Guangdong Provincial Ideological and Political Education Demonstration Course. The relevant experience has been promoted in multiple universities, providing a replicable practical paradigm for the high-quality construction of core engineering courses in the context of emerging engineering disciplines.</p> 2026-01-05T09:47:22+08:00 Copyright (c) 2026 Author(s) https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/JCER/article/view/13290 Research on the Impact of College Students’ Professional Identity on Academic Burnout and Its Prevention 2026-01-05T10:41:56+08:00 Haifeng Jiang team@bbwpublisher.com Kexin Hu team@bbwpublisher.com <p>As higher education shifts from quantitative expansion to high-quality development, academic burnout among university students has become a widespread challenge, troubling university teaching management and talent cultivation. To explore the internal mechanisms among professional identity, subjective well-being, learning motivation, psychological capital, and academic burnout, this study targeted university students and conducted a questionnaire survey among 1,269 students from different majors and grades. Using AMOS software, a structural equation model was constructed to empirically analyze the pathways through which professional identity influences academic burnout via subjective well-being, as well as the mediating roles of learning motivation and psychological capital. The results indicate that: (1) Professional identity can reduce academic burnout by enhancing students’ subjective well-being; (2) Professional identity can strengthen students’ learning motivation through improving subjective well-being, thereby alleviating academic burnout; (3) Professional identity can enhance students’ psychological capital by improving subjective well-being, ultimately reducing academic burnout. Based on these findings, the paper proposes recommendations across four dimensions—student, faculty, family, and societal—to enhance professional identity and reduce academic burnout among college students.</p> 2026-01-05T09:50:15+08:00 Copyright (c) 2026 Author(s) https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/JCER/article/view/13291 Research on Teaching Reform of the Course “Chemical Instrumentation and Automation” under the Background of Integration of Specialization and Innovation 2026-01-05T12:36:50+08:00 Ridong He hrd@imut.edu.cn Qiang Li team@bbwpublisher.com Yue Wu team@bbwpublisher.com Arongqiqige team@bbwpublisher.com Guojun Ji team@bbwpublisher.com <p>This paper focuses on the teaching reform of “Chemical Instrumentation and Automation” under the background of the integration of specialization and innovation.

Before 2021, shadow education grew very fast. Low teacher pay, weak school autonomy, and strong exam pressure created a large space for private tutoring. Families worried that their children would fall behind, so they spent more time and money on after-school classes. The policy aimed to cut homework and reduce off-campus tutoring. After it was introduced, some big tutoring companies closed or changed their business. At the same time, many smaller and hidden forms of tutoring appeared. Survey evidence shows that gaps between rich and poor families in tutoring and study time remained large, and in some cases even grew. The paper links these outcomes to teacher incentives, local fiscal constraints, and deep cultural beliefs about exams, merit, and education. It argues that regulation alone cannot ease student stress or reduce educational inequality without broader structural and cultural change.</p> 2026-01-05T09:59:06+08:00 Copyright (c) 2026 Author(s) https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/JCER/article/view/13294 A Study on the Application of AI-Driven Personalized Music Learning in Cultivating Musical Creativity in Higher E 2026-01-05T12:36:11+08:00 Xiaoyin Wang team@bbwpublisher.com Jiuhao Dai team@bbwpublisher.com <p>With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, AI-driven personalized learning has begun to reshape the teaching and learning methods of music courses in higher education. This study explores the role of artificial intelligence in promoting the development of college students’ musical creativity through a combination of theoretical analysis, classroom observation, and teaching practice. Research findings show that in the early stage of work creation, AI can provide music materials with distinct styles and multiple generated versions, helping students break through creative bottlenecks and stimulate divergent thinking. During the process of secondary creation, the initial materials provided by AI will make students pay more attention to whether the structure is clear, whether the musical phrases are coherent, and whether the musical development is reasonable, and make their structural awareness stronger. In addition, AI can provide results quickly and switch to multiple styles, which enables students to be exposed to more types of music, making them less nervous when creating and more willing to get involved. Based on the above findings, this study proposes relevant teaching strategies: constructing an AI-assisted exploratory learning cycle, strengthening secondary creation tasks, establishing a process-oriented assessment mechanism, and enhancing teachers’ AI literacy. Research shows that AI can help students enter the creative state more quickly, understand the structure of music, and expose them to more diverse styles. However, whether these effects can truly take effect still depends on how teachers guide and whether the course design is reasonable. This study also provides valuable references for universities on how to apply AI in music teaching centered on creativity.</p> 2026-01-05T10:01:43+08:00 Copyright (c) 2026 Author(s) https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/JCER/article/view/13295 Teaching Reform of Probability Theory and Mathematical Statistics in Applied Undergraduate Universities 2026-01-05T12:35:58+08:00 Yingdong Xie team@bbwpublisher.com Yan Guo team@bbwpublisher.com <p>With the development of society and the progress of science and technology, the demand for applied talents is increasing. In this background, the teaching reform of applied undergraduate universities is particularly significant. As a widely applied mathematics course, the teaching reform of probability theory and mathematical statistics aims to enhance students’ practical application ability and innovation ability. This paper discusses the teaching reform strategies in probability theory and mathematical statistics courses in applied undergraduate colleges, including the integrated teaching of science and reality, the teaching of rethinking, and case teaching. Through the integrated teaching of science and practice, theoretical knowledge is combined with practice to enhance students’ data analysis ability; through the teaching of focusing on ideas, the understanding of the ideological methods of probability statistics is emphasized rather than the mere derivation of theorems; through the teaching of case studies, practical problems are combined with theoretical knowledge to enhance students’ sense of application and problem-solving ability. Studies have shown that these reform measures can significantly improve students’ academic performance and practical ability, and provide strong support for the cultivation of application-oriented talents. Future teaching reforms need to constantly summarize experiences and improve measures to adapt to the changing social needs and technological progress.</p> 2026-01-05T10:04:23+08:00 Copyright (c) 2026 Author(s) https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/JCER/article/view/13296 Predicting the Ranking of Engineering Mechanics Students Using the Bayesian Model 2026-01-05T12:35:45+08:00 Kuahai Yu team@bbwpublisher.com Xiangqian Sheng 2008shengxq@163.com Sibo Dang team@bbwpublisher.com Ruhuan Yu team@bbwpublisher.com <p>GPA plays an important role in the entire learning process of students. The value of GPA not only reflects students’ current grades but also affects their future progress, motivation, and opportunities. It is worth noting that the grades of specific courses also have an impact on GPA. Therefore, it is necessary to predict students’ performance in future courses based on their current grades. In this paper, a Bayesian model is employed to classify course grades and estimate the probability of these grades being affected by other factors in the first semester, enabling the prediction of subsequent performance. The Bayesian approach integrates prior knowledge of grade distributions through four key steps: establishing a prior probability distribution, using a likelihood function to relate grades to academic ability, combining prior and new evidence to compute posterior probabilities, and forecasting next-semester results. These predictions support timely academic interventions and adjustments to teaching strategies. By utilizing data such as assignment and exam scores, a Bayesian classification model can analyze and predict outcomes. The actual grades of students in the second semester are used to validate the predictive accuracy of the model.</p> 2026-01-05T10:13:53+08:00 Copyright (c) 2026 Author(s) https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/JCER/article/view/13297 A Bibliometric Analysis of AI in Foreign Language Education (2015–2025) 2026-01-05T12:35:33+08:00 Siyi Qiu team@bbwpublisher.com Keting Ou team@bbwpublisher.com <p>This study employs a bibliometric approach and the VOSviewer software to conduct a visual analysis of research literature from the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) database published over the past decade, focusing on artificial intelligence (AI) applications in foreign language education in China. By examining publication trends, journal distributions, and keyword co-occurrence networks, this research identifies major research hotspots and evolutionary pathways in the field. The findings reveal that the number of domestic publications in this area has entered a phase of rapid growth since 2022. The research hotspots are categorized into five main clusters: the integration of AI with college English teaching, new applications of generative AI, the intelligent transformation of education, personalized teaching in second language acquisition, and technology ethics and ecological construction. The evolutionary trend demonstrates a three-stage progression from “technology application” to “integrated innovation” and finally to “value and ethical reflection.” Based on this analysis, the study anticipates that future developments will deepen along four dimensions: deeper technology integration, transformation of teacher roles, construction of academic integrity, and human-machine ethics governance, aiming to provide a reference for relevant research and practice.</p> 2026-01-05T10:16:37+08:00 Copyright (c) 2026 Author(s) https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/JCER/article/view/13298 William H. Shaw’s Interpretation of Marx’s Historical Theory 2026-01-05T12:35:20+08:00 Guanghua Xiong team@bbwpublisher.com <p>Centering on the two core concepts of productive forces and relations of production, William H. Shaw offers a renewed interpretation and systematic reorganization of Marx’s historical materialism based on a close reading of the classical texts. In his 1978 book <em>Marx’s Theory of History</em>, Shaw reconstructs Marx’s historical theory into a form of “technological determinism.” Following the logical structure of this book, the veil of technological determinism can be lifted from three analytical levels: conceptual dissection, essential reinterpretation, and empirical explanation. From the standpoint of the dynamics of productive forces, Shaw probes the essence of Marx’s historical theory and employs technological determinism to analyze changes in socio-economic formations. A scientific understanding of technological determinism not only helps us to accurately grasp Shaw’s thought and his analytical Marxism, but also enables us to reconsider historical materialism and the role of science and technology in contemporary practice.</p> 2026-01-05T10:19:02+08:00 Copyright (c) 2026 Author(s) https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/JCER/article/view/13299 A Study on High School Students’ Cognition of Cultural Appropriation: Taking Beijing No. 171 High School as an Example 2026-01-05T12:35:07+08:00 Wenqi Dou team@bbwpublisher.com <p>Cultural appropriation refers to the use of one cultural group’s elements by another. With increasing global cultural exchange, this phenomenon has drawn growing public attention. High school students, who are in a key stage of value formation, play an important role in future cultural development; understanding their cognition of cultural appropriation thus holds practical significance. Based on literature review, questionnaires, and interviews, this study finds that students can generally identify cultural appropriation and trace cultural origins. Their judgments mainly rely on commercial interests, historical authenticity, and cultural respect, with only slight differences in their tolerance toward domestic and foreign cases. Social media significantly shapes their attitudes.

Cultivating career awareness has thus become a crucial approach to addressing employment quality enhancement. This paper analyzes the theoretical foundations and practical challenges of career awareness cultivation based on industry-education integration policies and the characteristics of private higher vocational education. It proposes innovative pathways through three dimensions: cultivation objectives, models, and mechanisms. The study establishes a “demand-oriented, school-enterprise collaborative talent development, and multidimensional support system” framework, providing theoretical references and practical insights for optimizing career guidance and enhancing employment quality in private higher vocational colleges.</p> 2025-12-31T08:41:49+08:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Author(s) https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/JCER/article/view/13300 Research on the Linkage Mechanism of Psychological Education in Higher Vocational Colleges under the “One-Stop” Student Community Comprehensive Management Model 2026-01-05T12:34:54+08:00 Lei Chen team@bbwpublisher.com Qian Zhang team@bbwpublisher.com Jinhua Xu team@bbwpublisher.com <p>Student community management is an important part of student management in higher vocational colleges. Doing a good job in student community management can effectively prevent and resolve campus crisis incidents and maintain campus stability. Under the student community comprehensive management model, various departments should cooperate closely, take students as the center, give full play to the functional role of each department, and actively promote the construction of the psychological education linkage mechanism. This paper analyzes the problems existing in the process of carrying out the psychological education linkage mechanism in higher vocational colleges, and puts forward the construction strategies of the psychological education linkage mechanism in higher vocational colleges under the “one-stop” student community comprehensive management model: clarify responsibilities and cooperate with each other; integrate resources to form a joint force; highlight key points and conduct classified guidance; improve systems for long-term operation. At the same time, it is necessary to give full play to the role of the school’s mental health education platform, counselors, head teachers, and various community organizations.</p> 2026-01-05T10:23:59+08:00 Copyright (c) 2026 Author(s) https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/JCER/article/view/13070 Exploration on the Construction of an Experimental Curriculum Group Based on Dual Deconstruction and Matching of Teaching Content and Software Functions 2026-01-05T12:34:41+08:00 Jun Chen junchen@ynu.edu.com Tingting Xie 2371039381@qq.com <p>Due to the mismatch between the experimental content of new business courses and the functions of purchased teaching software, problems such as low software utilization rate, low degree of cross-course software sharing, and serious waste of teaching resources have arisen. Therefore, based on Bloom’s Taxonomy of Educational Objectives and Competency-Based Education theory, this paper proposes a dual deconstruction method of experimental teaching content and software functions, and constructs a ternary interactive matching experimental curriculum construction model with “experimental teaching objectives, students’ competency evaluation, and software function support” as the core. The feasibility of this model is verified by the practice of constructing the experimental curriculum group in the School of Business and Tourism Management of Yunnan University, which provides a feasible model and path for solving the mismatch between the experimental teaching content of new business courses and software functions.</p> 2026-01-05T10:26:19+08:00 Copyright (c) 2026 Author(s) https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/JCER/article/view/13301 Security Risks and Countermeasures for Large Language Models in Language Education: A Study Based on the DREAD Framework 2026-01-05T12:34:28+08:00 Yafei Wang team@bbwpublisher.com <p>This study systematically analyzes the security risks associated with the application of large language models (LLMs) in language education based on the DREAD threat assessment framework. It points out that, as “digital native speakers,” LLMs are deeply integrated into the entire teaching process, introducing novel educational risks such as “language hallucinations,” cultural bias, and prompt injection. These risks manifest specifically as high acquisition costs in knowledge internalization, high classroom reproducibility of risks, low exploitation thresholds, broad impact scope, and low visibility. In response, this study constructs a multi-layered dynamic governance system, proposing to reduce acquisition costs through a combination of technical filtering and manual verification, manage reproducibility and exploitation thresholds by implementing tiered access controls and full-process monitoring, and strengthen the digital literacy of both teachers and students to control the risk impact scope and enhance visibility. The research indicates that only by establishing a collaborative ecosystem led by educational principles, empowered by technology, supported by institutions, and founded on literacy can LLMs truly evolve into constructive tools that promote language proficiency development and cross-cultural understanding.</p> 2026-01-05T10:28:52+08:00 Copyright (c) 2026 Author(s) https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/JCER/article/view/13302 Study on the Path of Integrating Professional Ethics into Student Management in Higher Vocational Colleges 2026-01-05T12:34:15+08:00 Chang Liu team@bbwpublisher.com <p>Under the guidance of the educational goal of “integrating moral education and technical training” in vocational education, systematically embedding the cultivation of professional ethics into the entire process of student management in higher vocational colleges is a core measure to solve the dilemma of “valuing technical skills imparting over literacy cultivation” in these institutions. Based on the law of typed development of vocational education and the practice of student management in higher vocational colleges, this paper constructs a three-dimensional path system of “system embedding–scenario construction–collaborative education” from a theoretical perspective, focusing on exploring the theoretical logic, operational framework, and professional adaptability of each path. The study holds that through the refinement of professional ethics in management regulations, the shaping of professional behaviors in immersive scenarios, and the resource support from the linkage of schools, enterprises, and society, the transformation of professional ethics from “concept advocacy” to “behavioral consciousness” can be realized. This research provides a theoretical reference for higher vocational colleges to optimize their student management models and strengthen the effectiveness of ideological and political education.</p> 2026-01-05T10:31:28+08:00 Copyright (c) 2026 Author(s) https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/JCER/article/view/13303 The Value Implications and Cultivation Pathways of Teacher Digital Literacy in the Digital Age 2026-01-05T12:34:02+08:00 Rongzhen Zou team@bbwpublisher.com <p>As the integration of digital technology and education getting more deeply continually, education field faces new challenges in school teaching and learning in the digital age.
