Yazhuo Zou, Qi Zhao, Chenghe Zhang — Thu, 09 Apr 2026 10:14:08 +0800

Against the backdrop of the New Liberal Arts, and in response to challenges such as the disconnect between professional education and value guidance, as well as the separation between the classroom and the market, this paper explores the reform of Ideological and Political Education within courses featuring industry-education integration, guided by the Outcome-Based Education (OBE) concept. The curriculum is driven by the dual core of “industry-education integration + innovation and entrepreneurship,” constructing a three-dimensional objective system encompassing “technological innovation capability, business insight, and value-led leadership.” Through a three-tiered progressive practice of “project-based learning, competition-based learning, and entrepreneurship-based learning,” the course content is deconstructed into four modules—“Dao (Principles), Fa (Methods), Shu (Techniques), and Qi (Tools)”—which integrate ideological and political themes such as traditional culture and social needs, achieving a two-way empowerment of technology and ethics. The teaching adopts a dual-tutor system featuring a “student-centered, teacher-guided” approach and establishes a tripartite collaborative evaluation mechanism. This forms a closed loop of “theory-practice-real-world positions,” breaking down the barriers between the classroom and the market, thereby providing a replicable pathway for cultivating high-quality, innovative talents.

An Analysis of China-ASEAN Publishing Exchange Research from the Perspective of a Community with a Shared Future for Mankind: A Visual Analysis Based on Knowledge Graphs

Yi Li, Qiang Bao — Thu, 02 Apr 2026 09:26:56 +0800

Based on 128 journal articles from the CNKI database spanning 2006 to 2026, this study employs the CiteSpace knowledge graph method to conduct a visual analysis of the knowledge structure, evolutionary trends, and frontier issues in research on China-ASEAN publishing exchanges from the perspective of a Community with a Shared Future for Mankind. The findings reveal that the scientific research collaboration network in this field exhibits low density, characterized by “decentralization and independence.” Research themes have evolved from “policy-driven” to “efficacy-oriented,” forming a keyword co-occurrence network with “ASEAN” as the core hub and key nodes such as “the Belt and Road,” “Going Global,” “theme publishing,” and “Guangxi.” As a geographical bridge and a typical case connecting China and ASEAN, “Guangxi” holds significant practical importance. Cluster analysis identifies four major frontier directions, revealing a paradigm shift in research from macro-level initiative interpretation to meso-level mechanism construction and micro-level communication efficacy inquiry. Future research should promote the “institution-industry-culture-technology” four-dimensional interdisciplinary integration, strengthen field investigations and localized reception analysis targeting ASEAN audiences, and prudently address ethical challenges arising from AI empowerment, in order to deepen the value co-creation function of publishing exchanges in building the China-ASEAN Community with a Shared Future.

Smart Technologies as Tools for Developing Sustainable Leadership Competencies in the Education System: A Conceptual Model and Directions for Empirical Validation

Valeriia Tarasenko — Thu, 02 Apr 2026 09:29:10 +0800

Global environmental and socio-economic challenges have intensified the need to cultivate sustainable leadership competencies through educational systems. As education undergoes rapid digital transformation, smart technologies—such as artificial intelligence, adaptive platforms, data analytics, and immersive learning environments—are increasingly integrated into teaching and learning processes. However, their role in fostering sustainable leadership competencies remains insufficiently theorized. This study develops a conceptual model in which smart technology integration contributes to the development of sustainable leadership competencies through a sequential mediation pathway: systems thinking, environmental responsibility, and strategic decision-making. In addition, institutional orientation toward sustainable development is proposed as a moderating factor that strengthens the relationship between smart technology integration and systems thinking. The article advances the literature by bridging research on digital transformation, sustainability, and leadership development within a unified theoretical framework. It also provides a foundation for future empirical validation using structural equation modeling (SEM)/PLS-SEM and offers practical guidance for the design of sustainability-oriented educational programs.

Evidence-Based Insights from a Bilingual Big Data Analytics Course: A Comparative Study of Domestic and International Students in Transportation Engineering

Rongsheng Chen, Shasha Liu, Sida Luo — Wed, 08 Apr 2026 11:06:41 +0800

As transportation engineering education increasingly relies on data-driven methods, students are expected to develop competencies in programming, analytical reasoning, and interpretation of heterogeneous traffic datasets. This study examines learning outcomes and student experiences in a dual-language, dual-cohort course on big data analytics at Beijing Jiaotong University, delivered as a Chinese-taught class for domestic undergraduates (CN) and an English-medium instruction class for international students (EN) with largely identical curricular content. The analysis integrates three years of CN performance records (2023–2025) and two years of EN performance records (2024–2025), supplemented by a pre-course survey of the EN cohort on demographics, prior preparation, and learning motivation. Results show that the CN cohort achieved a slightly higher median score but with substantially greater variance, whereas EN scores were more tightly clustered with no failures among active students. Survey evidence indicates that most EN students reported limited programming and analytics foundations but strong career-oriented motivation. Correlation patterns further suggest that project-based assessment and collaborative tasks helped translate assignment effort into stable final outcomes in the EN class. Based on these findings, the study discusses practical implications for bilingual technical courses, including early-stage code scaffolding, motivation-sensitive project design, and process-oriented assessment to support learners with diverse backgrounds.

Objective: To explore the application effect of guideline-based teaching mode in standardized training for internal medicine residents, and to provide references for optimizing training programs and improving training quality. Methods: A total of 50 residents undergoing standardized training in internal medicine at our hospital from January 2024 to December 2024 were selected as the study subjects. A self-controlled before-and-after study design was adopted, with traditional teaching mode applied before training (baseline period) and guideline-based teaching mode applied after training (for a duration of one year). Theoretical knowledge scores, clinical skill operation scores, case analysis ability scores, satisfaction with the teaching mode, and the incidence of adverse medical events were compared before and after training. Results: After training, the residents’ theoretical knowledge scores increased from 68.35 ± 5.21 points at baseline to 85.62 ± 4.38 points, clinical skill operation scores increased from 70.12 ± 4.85 points to 88.75 ± 3.64 points, and case analysis ability scores increased from 65.48 ± 5.63 points to 86.33 ± 4.15 points, with statistically significant differences (t values were 18.65, 22.34, and 20.78, respectively, all P < 0.001). The satisfaction rate with the teaching mode among residents after training was 96.00% (48/50), significantly higher than the 72.00% (36/50) before training (χ²= 10.71, P = 0.001). The incidence of adverse medical events during the training period decreased from 8.00% (4/50) before training to 2.00% (1/50) after training, but the difference was not statistically significant (χ²= 0.842, P > 0.05). Conclusion: The application of the guideline-based teaching model in the standardized training of internal medicine residents can significantly enhance the trainees’ theoretical knowledge, clinical skills, and case analysis abilities, improve their satisfaction with teaching, and reduce the incidence of adverse medical events. The application effect is remarkable and worthy of promotion.

Analysis and Reform Considerations on the Current Situation of Integrated Standardized Training for Master’s Students in Traditional Chinese Medicine from the Perspective of Medical-Education Collaboration

Chunzhi Su, Meng Li — Wed, 08 Apr 2026 11:10:45 +0800

With societal development, the issue of national aging has become increasingly prominent. To expedite the cultivation of a group of high-level professionals in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), the state issued the Opinions on Deepening the Reform of Clinical Medicine Talent Cultivation through Medical-Education Collaboration in 2014, mandating the integration of TCM master’s student training with standardized residency training. This policy aims to shorten the physician training cycle and enhance the efficiency of medical education resource utilization. However, after more than a decade of implementation, issues have emerged that cannot be overlooked, ranging from individual student psychology to societal aspects. On the student front, under the heavy academic pressure, TCM master’s students have an increased likelihood of experiencing mental health issues. In terms of management, due to the integrated standardized training, students are educated by both universities and hospitals, leading to potential conflicts and mutual shirking of responsibilities regarding course scheduling and department rotations. At the societal level, while the integrated standardized training holds long-term value in alleviating doctor-patient conflicts, it has inadvertently become an indirect catalyst for such conflicts due to current issues such as unclear roles and responsibilities of TCM master’s students, excessive training burdens, and inadequate teaching and support.

This will lay a solid foundation for high-quality development in future education.

The Localization Dilemmas and Solutions of Task-Based Language Teaching in China

Mingxuan Wang — Thu, 09 Apr 2026 10:25:56 +0800

Since its proposal in the 1980s, Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) has become a pivotal direction for global foreign language teaching reform due to its philosophy of emphasizing “learning by doing” and focusing on linguistic meaning and communicative functions. China’s basic education English curriculum reform has also incorporated TBLT into curriculum standards and advocated its implementation in classrooms. However, after more than two decades of localized practice, TBLT has encountered numerous dilemmas in Chinese classrooms: the coexistence of theoretical advocacy and practical deviation, as well as formal imitation and substantive alienation. This paper systematically sorts out the theoretical core of TBLT, deeply analyzes the practical constraints it faces in China such as large class sizes, examination pressure, and teachers’ professional competence, summarizes the specific manifestations of the dilemmas, combs through domestic scholars’ attempts at localized improvement, and explores the possible paths for the integration of TBLT with China’s examination system.

Design Principles for AI-Enhanced Labor Education Evaluation Systems in Higher Vocational Colleges

Yuntao Wang, Suhan Wu — Tue, 07 Apr 2026 13:25:28 +0800

Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming routine infrastructure in higher vocational colleges, while labor education increasingly serves holistic talent cultivation through authentic tasks and practicum experiences. However, evaluating labor education is challenging because intended outcomes combine competence and occupational dispositions, and evidence is heterogeneous, process-oriented, and distributed across sites. This paper reframes labor education evaluation as a system design problem rather than a single-instrument measurement task. It proposes a layered conceptual model that separates constructs, evidence, analytics, decision procedures, and governance, and provides a minimal evidence taxonomy to support triangulated and longitudinal interpretation. Building on this foundation, the paper consolidates eight design principles and maps them to implementable system requirements and assurance considerations, emphasizing authentic-task anchoring, stake-sensitive human-in-the-loop decisions, traceability and explainability proportional to stakes, context-aware fairness, purpose-limited data practices, contestability, and continuous monitoring. The framework offers actionable guidance for designing AI-enhanced labor education evaluation systems and identifies directions for further research on construct operationalization, evidence integration, and governance-by-design.
