https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/JCER/article/view/13071
<p>While the physical education (PE) curriculum reform at Guangdong University of Foreign Studies has progressed from a quality-oriented approach to an integrated in-class and extracurricular model, the intended outcomes of enabling students to master sports skills and cultivate lifelong exercise habits have not yet been fully realized. 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>Zhuonan HuangChaoqun Huang

2025-12-122025-12-1291271210.26689/jcer.v9i12.13071A Literature Review on the Cultivation of Vocational Undergraduate Talents in China: Essential Differences and Compatibility Requirements
https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/JCER/article/view/13220
<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>Lihong Zhong

https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/JCER/article/view/13322
<p>In the new era characterized by accelerated technological iteration and the collision of diverse values, the contradiction between college students’ personalized development and social rule constraints has become increasingly prominent, posing a major challenge to talent cultivation in colleges and universities. This paper takes Confucius’ thought of “doing as one pleases without overstepping the rules” as its cultural foundation and combines Freud’s “id-ego-superego” personality theory to analyze college students’ cognitive and value biases regarding rules, as well as practical dilemmas such as insufficient self-discipline and disconnection from implementation mechanisms. It demonstrates the value of cultivating the awareness of “autonomy within rules” from three dimensions: the state, colleges and universities, and individuals. Furthermore, it proposes practical strategies for ideological and political work in colleges and universities from the aspects of optimizing the educational content of ideological and political work, innovating educational methods, and deepening the integration of management and education, so as to provide a path for cultivating high-quality talents with both rule awareness and independent capabilities.</p>Shiling Sun

https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/JCER/article/view/12827
<p>As computer and network-based information technology exerts an increasingly widespread and profound influence on education and teaching, technology-integrated teaching methods have become the norm in modern educational practice. Proficiency in mastering and applying technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) in subject teaching has become an essential competency for professional development in the new era. Based on this, this paper uses Changsha County as a case study to develop a TPACK survey questionnaire for primary school science teachers. The findings reveal that, in actual classroom teaching, older teachers demonstrate high proficiency in pedagogical knowledge, subject knowledge, and subject-specific pedagogical knowledge, but exhibit a weak understanding of, and operational skills regarding, technology. Conversely, younger teachers possess high levels of technology-related knowledge but demonstrate weaker mastery and application of pedagogical knowledge. Additionally, some teachers focus solely on subject-specific teaching tasks and are reluctant to learn new technologies. Building upon these findings, in-depth interviews were conducted to further explore the current state of TPACK proficiency among elementary science teachers and analyze the underlying causes. The study refines the investigation and proposes recommendations to enhance TPACK development among elementary science teachers, thereby promoting TPACK proficiency among practicing teachers and science education teacher candidates.</p>Yamin WangDongjin LiHua CaiHong Huang

https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/JCER/article/view/13289
<p>Addressing the traditional teaching challenges in the “Electrical Machinery” course, such as abstract magnetic fields, complex principles, disconnected practical applications, and weakened ideological and political education, as well as the dual demands of emerging engineering disciplines for high-quality engineering talents with both “innovative practical abilities and value-oriented qualities,” this study constructs and implements a three-dimensional teaching reform model of “technology empowerment, practice foundation, and ideological and political cultivation.” By developing visual teaching resources through digital technologies, establishing a practical education platform through industry-education integration, and organically embedding ideological and political elements throughout the entire teaching process, a systematic reform pathway of “resource support, closed-loop process, and value-oriented guidance” is formed. 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>Xiangli MengYanyan Guo

https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/JCER/article/view/13290
<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>Haifeng JiangKexin Hu

https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/JCER/article/view/13309
<p>With the deepening of social transformation and educational reform, the psychological health problems of vocational college students are becoming more and more complicated, and psychological crisis intervention has become an important link in the educational system of vocational colleges. Teachers, as the most frequent contact group with students, play an irreplaceable key role in it. This paper aims to reflect on and explore the path of effective participation of teachers in psychological crisis intervention in higher vocational colleges. Firstly, this paper systematically analyzes the realistic difficulties faced by teachers, such as role ambiguity, lack of ability, and weak support system, and then constructs a four-dimensional role model of teachers composed of “discoverer, guide, intervener, and coordinator” to clarify the boundaries of their responsibilities. Finally, around this model, systematic paths such as perfecting stratified training, constructing a gridding response system, establishing a multi-coordination mechanism, and creating a supportive environment are deeply considered to effectively enhance teachers’ psychological crisis intervention ability, so as to provide theoretical references and practical enlightenment for enhancing the effectiveness of psychological crisis intervention in higher vocational colleges and promoting students’ healthy growth.</p>Xiaogang Tang

https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/JCER/article/view/13293
<p>This paper studies China’s Double Reduction Policy and its limits. 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>Weichen Wang

https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/JCER/article/view/13294
<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>Xiaoyin WangJiuhao Dai

https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/JCER/article/view/13325
<p>In response to the requirements for medical talent training set out in <em>Healthy China 2030</em>, this study addresses the issues of inadequate adaptation between traditional medical education and smart learning, as well as the fragmentation of learning engagement empowerment mechanisms. Drawing on theories such as NSSE-China, we analyzed the current status of smart learning engagement in medical education and constructed an empowerment mechanism through a questionnaire survey (<em>n</em> = 520) and in-depth interviews (<em>n</em> = 30). The results showed that the average score of smart learning engagement in medical education was 2.84 (slightly below moderate), with issues including dimensional imbalance, group differences, and dislocation of teachers’ and students’ perceptions. The verified “cognitive-behavioral-emotional-environmental” four-in-one empowerment mechanism increased learning engagement in the experimental class by 24.6%, and the academic performance and higher-order abilities of students in the experimental class were significantly superior (<em>P </em>< 0.01).

https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/JCER/article/view/13295
<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>Yingdong XieYan Guo

https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/JCER/article/view/13326
<p>To address the new demands for highly skilled technical personnel arising from the upgrading of the chemical industry and to resolve the disconnect between traditional higher vocational education in chemistry/chemical engineering and corporate needs, this study utilized the Organic Chemistry course as a vehicle to construct and implement a teaching reform model centered on “Integration of Science and Education” (ISE). Guided by the objectives of “aligning with industry, empowering students, and enhancing employment competitiveness,” the study systematically designed a three-dimensional linkage mechanism encompassing “resources, methods, and evaluation.” This involved: constructing teaching resources aligned with authentic enterprise projects; innovating the PBL-IGT (Problem-chain Based Learning & Inquiry-Guided Training) teaching methodology that simulates R&D processes; and implementing a diversified assessment system incorporating enterprise evaluation perspectives, thereby comprehensively reshaping the course ecology. After two rounds of teaching practice, data indicate that students in the experimental class showed significant improvement in key development indicators, including job adaptability, technical thinking proficiency, and professional identity. This study confirms that the model effectively bridges the “last mile” from the classroom to the workplace, providing a validated pathway for cultivating innovative, multidisciplinary technical talents that meet the demands of modern chemical enterprises.</p>Hualiang ZuoJun WangJianhui ZhangJichang LiWenhua Zhao

https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/JCER/article/view/13327
<p>Under national strategies promoting cultural development and the digital economy, Dalian’s cultural and creative industries have rapidly expanded, leading to rising demand for interdisciplinary talents with cultural and technical competencies. Yet current university programs remain insufficient in curriculum structure, interdisciplinary training, and industry–education linkage. Based on literature review, industry data, job posting analysis, and case comparison, this study examines industry development, talent needs, and university discipline configuration. Results show strong demand for interdisciplinary, technology-oriented, and innovation-driven competencies, while universities still lack integrated curricula, practical training, and regional collaboration. Accordingly, this paper proposes a pathway of “major clusters–interdisciplinary curricula–project-based training–ecosystem platforms” to build a talent cultivation system aligned with regional needs, providing guidance for local reform and reference for similar cities.</p>Qian Zhao

https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/JCER/article/view/13310
<p>As a key platform serving lifelong learning for all citizens, faculty at open universities shoulder multiple responsibilities, including distance teaching, learning support, and career transition services. However, traditional faculty evaluation systems often suffer from unclear evaluation objectives, rigid indicator design, and subjective weight allocation. They particularly overlook the characteristics of distance education and the value of support services, making it difficult to fully reflect the faculty’s actual contributions. To address these challenges, this study centers on developmental evaluation principles, integrating fuzzy mathematics with the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to construct a scientific evaluation system tailored to the teaching characteristics of open universities. It aims to overcome the evaluation pitfalls of “prioritizing research over service” and “emphasizing outcomes over processes,” providing a systematic solution for faculty professional development and educational quality enhancement.</p>Jian WuWenyan Huang

https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/JCER/article/view/13296
<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>Kuahai YuXiangqian ShengSibo DangRuhuan Yu

https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/JCER/article/view/13328
<p><em>Objective:</em> To explore the application effect of the multidisciplinary team (MDT) teaching model in otolaryngology anesthesia for standardized residency training (referred to as “residency training”), and to provide practical evidence for optimizing the residency training system in otolaryngology anesthesia. <em>Methods:</em> A total of 65 residency physicians in otolaryngology anesthesia at our hospital from March 2024 to March 2025 were selected and divided into an observation group (32 physicians) and a control group (33 physicians) using the random number table method. The control group adopted the traditional single-disciplinary teaching model, while the observation group adopted a multidisciplinary collaborative teaching model involving the departments of anesthesiology, otolaryngology, imaging, and nursing. The theoretical assessment scores, clinical operation skill scores, case comprehensive analysis ability scores, teaching satisfaction, and the incidence of anesthesia-related complications in patients were compared between the two groups. <em>Results:</em> The theoretical assessment scores, clinical operation skill scores, and case comprehensive analysis ability scores in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group (all <em>P</em> < 0.001). The teaching satisfaction in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group (<em>P</em> = 0.035 < 0.05). Among the 102 patients under the care of residency physicians in the observation group, the incidence of anesthesia-related complications was 3.13%. Among the 106 patients under the care of residency physicians in the control group, the incidence of anesthesia-related complications was 15.15%. The incidence of complications in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (χ<sup>2 </sup>= 9.250, <em>P</em> = 0.002). <em>Conclusion:</em> The MDT teaching model in otolaryngology anesthesia can effectively enhance the theoretical knowledge, clinical operational skills, and comprehensive case analysis abilities of resident physicians in training. It also improves teaching satisfaction and reduces the incidence of anesthesia-related complications in patients, making it worthy of promotion and application in resident training programs.</p>Jiangjing LiXin Wang

https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/JCER/article/view/13297
<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>Siyi QiuKeting Ou

https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/JCER/article/view/13298
<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>Guanghua Xiong

https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/JCER/article/view/13299
<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. It is suggested that schools strengthen cultural knowledge education, develop cultural inquiry courses, and encourage students to create high-quality cultural content through social media platforms.</p>Wenqi Dou

https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/JCER/article/view/13250
<p>As the core direction of China’s vocational education reform, industry-education integration has positioned private higher vocational colleges as vital components of the vocational education system, playing a pivotal role in aligning skilled talent development with industrial demands. However, current challenges, such as ambiguous career awareness and unclear professional positioning among students at private higher vocational colleges, hinder their employment competitiveness. 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>Shi Xi

https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/JCER/article/view/13300
<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>Lei ChenQian ZhangJinhua Xu

<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>Jun ChenTingting Xie

2025-12-312025-12-3191230431210.26689/jcer.v9i12.13070Security Risks and Countermeasures for Large Language Models in Language Education: A Study Based on the DREAD Framework
https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/JCER/article/view/13301
<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>Yafei Wang

https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/JCER/article/view/13329
<p>This study examines the digital transformation of university “one-stop” student communities in China through the lens of scenario theory and a multi-case research approach. It identifies that while this transformation demonstrates patterns of policy diffusion, digital infrastructure development, and spatial redesign, it is hindered by systemic blockages stemming from data silos, a disconnect between technology and practice, and the inertia of conventional administrative practices. The core issue lies in the insufficient integration of technological logic with educational purposes. Consequently, the paper proposes a pathway toward integrated intelligent governance, involving: (1) a governance shift from traditional student management approaches to scenario adaptation; (2) technology-enhanced integration of value guidance, academic development, and life service scenarios; and (3) a sustainable support system synergizing personnel, data, and institutions. This research moves beyond an instrumental view of digitalization, offering insights for building a student-centered smart education ecosystem.</p>Xue Mi

https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/JCER/article/view/13302
<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>Chang Liu

https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/JCER/article/view/13330
<p>Against the backdrop of globalization, the mutual recognition of engineering qualifications and the cross-border mobility of talent have emerged as pivotal issues in higher education reform. As global leaders in manufacturing, China and Germany share a profound strategic synergy in engineering talent cultivation. However, graduates from Chinese undergraduate mechanical engineering programs frequently encounter significant hurdles regarding “curricular alignment” when applying for Master’s degrees at Germany’s elite research universities (specifically the TU9 Alliance). These challenges often result in high rejection rates or severe academic maladjustment post-admission. Adopting a comparative higher education perspective, this study critically analyses the Master’s admission mechanisms and undergraduate core curriculum systems of TU9 institutions, including RWTH Aachen, TUM, KIT, and the University of Stuttgart. Through a micro-level comparative analysis of syllabi, credit structures (ECTS conversion), and assessment paradigms in key modules—such as mathematics, engineering mechanics, and thermal-fluid sciences—this paper reveals structural discrepancies in “theoretical depth,” “scientific orientation,” and “process-oriented assessment” within Chinese engineering education. The findings indicate that the difficulty in achieving substantive equivalence stems fundamentally from the crowding out of professional hours by general education courses, the fragmentation of knowledge in core foundational modules, and a misalignment between Chinese credit calculations and European standards. Consequently, this paper proposes a reform scheme for mechanical engineering curricula aimed at international alignment. This includes modular curriculum reconstruction, learning-outcome-based syllabus design, and the establishment of a hybrid assessment system, providing theoretical support and practical pathways for Sino-German cooperative education and the internationalization of engineering education.</p>Weiguang SuLiying GaoLi WangWenhong ZhangShuhui XuJin Du

<p><em>Objective:</em> To explore the application effect of an artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted diagnostic system in the clinical diagnosis and treatment of digestive system tumors (including gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, liver cancer, etc.), providing evidence-based support for improving the efficiency and accuracy of diagnosis and treatment of digestive system tumors. <em>Methods:</em> A total of 200 patients with digestive system tumors admitted to our hospital from January 2022 to December 2024 were selected and divided into an observation group (<em>n</em> = 100, receiving AI-assisted diagnosis combined with conventional diagnosis and treatment) and a control group (<em>n</em> = 100, receiving conventional diagnosis and treatment) according to the random number table method. The differences in diagnostic and treatment indicators between the two groups were compared. <em>Results:</em> The diagnostic time in the observation group was 18.25 ± 3.68 minutes, significantly shorter than that in the control group (35.72 ± 5.14 minutes) (<em>t</em> = 25.36, <em>P</em> < 0.001). The missed diagnosis rate and misdiagnosis rate in the observation group were 2.00% (2/100) and 1.00% (1/100), respectively, significantly lower than those in the control group [8.00% (8/100) and 7.00% (7/100), respectively] (χ<sup>2 </sup>= 4.01, 5.03, both <em>P</em> < 0.05). <em>Conclusion:</em> The AI-assisted diagnostic system can significantly improve the diagnostic accuracy of digestive system tumors, shorten the diagnostic and treatment time, and reduce the missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis rates, demonstrating high application value in the clinical diagnosis and treatment of digestive system tumors.</p>Le ChangChen Chang

https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/JCER/article/view/13315
<p>With the in-depth advancement of the national education digitalization strategy, traditional university student management models face severe challenges in data integration, precise evaluation, and personalized support. Based on the specific needs of modern industrial colleges, this paper designs and implements an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered student management platform named the “Digital Portrait File” system. Adopting core technologies such as multi-source data fusion, dynamic competency portrait modeling, and intelligent analysis, the platform constructs a comprehensive management system encompassing functions like basic student information management, competency portrait analysis, achievement system, and learning resource recommendation. Pilot applications show that the platform effectively addresses the data silo issue, realizes panoramic perception, intelligent analysis, and personalized support throughout students’ growth processes, and provides a replicable, practical path for the digital transformation of university student management.</p>Jing ZhangWenjing ZongYuhan XiaoPeipei LiuWei DengJie DongPengfei Yuan

https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/JCER/article/view/13444
<p>With the deepening of globalization, higher education has gradually broken through the limitations of region and culture. The opportunities for local students to study abroad have increased, and the number of international students in China has also increased year by year. This has promoted the collision and integration of multiple cultures and formed a cross-cultural education environment in the process of university education. Higher education’s ideological and political education faces new challenges and opportunities in cross-cultural environments. As key agents in this process, counselors still grapple with issues like insufficient cross-cultural knowledge and communication skills, making it difficult to meet the demands of multicultural education. This article examines the significance of enhancing counselors’ ideological and political education capabilities in cross-cultural settings, proposes practical models and integrated approaches to improve their competencies, and aims to elevate the quality and effectiveness of ideological and political education, ultimately cultivating more globally-minded talents that meet contemporary needs.</p>Fang Xu

https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/JCER/article/view/13446
<p>As a core foundational course for computer-related disciplines, reforming the teaching model of Discrete Mathematics is critically important. Driven by the Outcomes-Based Education (OBE) concept and the national “Artificial Intelligence (AI) + Education” strategy, there is a compelling need to transform traditional pedagogical approaches towards data-intelligence. Leveraging the OBE framework and AI technologies, this study focuses on the teaching reform of Discrete Mathematics. It constructs a “Data-Driven–Cognitive Computing–Precise Intervention” theoretical framework and establishes three progressive objectives: (1) developing an AI-assisted integrated framework for “learning-oriented teaching”; (2) designing personalized teaching strategies; and (3) innovating precision intervention models. The research specifically addresses four key issues: dynamic analysis of learning states, generation of personalized strategies, human-computer collaborative mechanisms, and an effect evaluation system. Empirical evidence demonstrates that the proposed AI-driven OBE teaching model significantly enhances instructional precision, improves student competency outcomes, and promotes the achievement of course objectives. This study provides substantial theoretical and practical support for the digital transformation of Discrete Mathematics instruction and the broader intelligent teaching reform initiative in higher education.</p>Fujiao JuShaotao Zhu
