From Technical Enablement to Deep Learning: The Paradigm Shift and Mechanism Examination of University Faculty Professional Development in the Digital-AI Era

Chundi Liu — 2025-11-11

The deep integration of digital-AI technologies is reshaping the forms and logic of higher education teaching. However, university faculty professional development faces the limitations of the “technical enablement” paradigm, leading to a cycle of “technological anxiety–performative innovation–meaning depletion.” Based on sociocultural theory, expansive learning theory, and teacher identity theory, this paper constructs a “technology-cognition-identity” co-evolution theoretical framework. It proposes a new paradigm centered on “teacher deep learning,” operationalized into three dimensions: critical technological cognition, reflective practice iteration, and identity reconstruction. Accordingly, the article puts forward strategic recommendations targeting multiple stakeholders, including the state, universities, faculty development centers, and enterprises, aiming to propel teachers from “being empowered” to “self-empowerment,” and to achieve the synergistic development of educational wisdom and professional autonomy in the digital-AI era.

The Construction of the Ideological and Political “Curriculum Chain” for Foreign Language Majors

Jing Liu — 2025-11-11

Amid the intensifying global competition for discursive power, China has prioritized the enhancement of its international communication capacity and the global influence of Chinese culture as strategic measures to navigate a complex international public opinion environment. This evolving context has expanded the mission of foreign language education beyond its traditional role as a bridge for cultural exchange, positioning it as a critical means for cultivating talent that serves national strategies and contributes to shaping China’s global image. However, traditional models of foreign language education—limited by their predominantly instrumental orientation—are increasingly insufficient for this broader mission. In response, the ideological and political “Curriculum Chain” for foreign language majors has been introduced as a top-level structural reform. It establishes an integrated curricular framework that holistically links linguistic competence, disciplinary application, and value orientation. By embedding language learning within authentic professional contexts and nationally strategic frameworks, this model enables the implicit cultivation of students’ ideological awareness and value systems, thereby fundamentally redefining the competence structure of foreign language professionals.

Symbolic Design Strategies for Film and Television Character Modeling in Cross-Cultural Contexts

Jianwei Yang — 2025-11-11

Against the backdrop of the deep integration of the global film and television industry, character design has long transcended the mere pursuit of aesthetics and has become a key symbolic system that carries cultural information, builds identity recognition, and drives narrative. This article, by integrating semiotic theory and cultural dimension analysis, deeply dissects the core functions and common predicaments (stereotypes, cultural misinterpretation) of formative symbols in cross-cultural communication and systematically proposed four core design strategies: “extraction and translation of cultural symbols,” “visual mapping of cultural dimensions,” “symbolic support of narrative functions,” and “cultural decoding presuppositions for target audiences.” This article holds that successful cross-cultural modeling design should be committed to creative transformation on the basis of respecting the authenticity of culture, constructing a visual symbol system that combines cultural depth and universal appeal, and ultimately serving global narratives and in-depth cultural dialogues.

A Study on the Cumulative Effects of AI-Powered Campus Positive Initiatives on Cultivating Positive Emotions and Psychological Capital among College Students

Minghua Shao — 2025-11-12

Higher education is transitioning from mass expansion to high-quality development. In this process, mental health issues among college students have become increasingly prominent, encompassing not only academic stress-induced anxiety but also complex challenges such as interpersonal adaptation difficulties and career planning confusion. Traditional “problem-oriented” intervention models have shown limitations in responsiveness and adaptability, often only passively addressing existing psychological crises rather than preventing them in advance. This study aims to explore an AI-powered “positive psychology” proactive intervention model through developing an intelligent system. The system automatically collects, filters, and personalizes recommendations for positive activities on campus. Using a randomized controlled trial design, we conducted an 8-week intervention study involving 126 college students at a university. The study found that AI-based “campus positive activity” recommendations effectively boost students’ positive emotions and promote psychological capital development through cumulative micro-interventions. This provides universities with empirical evidence and innovative methods to implement low-cost, efficient, and scalable mental health promotion programs through smart technology.

Research on the Boundaries of University Teachers’ Responsibilities and the Substitution Effect in the Context of Artificial Intelligence

Shibo Xu — 2025-11-12

At present, artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are deeply integrated into all scenarios of teaching, research, and student development in higher education. Intelligent teaching systems, research data processing tools, and AI platforms for student management are gradually becoming important aids to educational activities. This transformation disrupts the traditional framework of university teachers’ responsibilities: fundamental tasks in knowledge transmission are diverted, repetitive work in research is replaced, and some managerial functions in student development are covered. Consequently, the boundaries of teachers’ responsibilities are increasingly blurred, and the substitution effect has led to role anxiety and confusion about professional positioning. Clarifying the specific impact of AI on teachers’ responsibilities, identifying the replaceable and irreplaceable domains, and exploring effective paths for fulfilling responsibilities are key to resolving teachers’ role-identity crisis, promoting the implementation of “human–AI collaborative” education models, and ensuring the high-quality digital development of higher education.

The Mechanism of Artificial Intelligence-Empowered Personalized Learning Systems on University Students’ STEM Learning Motivation and Academic Achievement: An Educational Psychology Perspective

Yingyou Meng — 2025-11-12

With the continuous advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, personalized learning systems are increasingly applied in higher education. Particularly within STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education, AI demonstrates significant advantages through adaptive learning pathways, instant feedback, and individualized resource allocation. However, current research predominantly focuses on the technical architecture and application effectiveness of such systems, with insufficient exploration of how AI-enabled personalized learning systems influence university students’ learning motivation and academic achievement through educational psychological mechanisms. This paper adopts an educational psychology perspective to construct a causal mechanism model linking “learning motivation–learning behavior–academic achievement.” Findings indicate that AI-powered personalized learning systems enhance learning autonomy, boost self-efficacy, and optimize feedback mechanisms. These effects collectively stimulate university students’ learning motivation in STEM disciplines, thereby promoting academic achievement. Building upon empirical research, this paper proposes implications for educational practice and policy formulation, emphasizing the necessity of advancing higher education reform through the dual influence of technology and psychological mechanisms.

Analysis of the Current Situation of College Students’ Safety Education and Research on Blended Teaching Reform

Jian Xiao — 2025-11-12

College students’ safety education is an important part of the fundamental task of fostering virtue through education in colleges and universities. A questionnaire survey at J University shows that the popularization degree and teaching satisfaction of college students’ safety education are relatively high, but the teaching content and teaching forms still need improvement. With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology and considering the characteristics of college students’ online learning in the new era, carrying out the SPOC + PBL blended teaching reform not only helps to enhance the effectiveness of theoretical and practical teaching but also contributes to optimizing the teaching evaluation and feedback mechanism and strengthening students’ problem-solving abilities. Therefore, we should adhere to the goal orientation, meticulously design the teaching plan, highlight the student-centered approach, focus on integrating teaching resources, strengthen process management, promptly provide feedback and guidance, empower with data, and continuously improve teaching evaluation. Thus, a student-centered SPOC + PBL blended teaching system can be constructed to empower the transformation and innovation of talent cultivation in higher education.
