Research on the Narrative Relationship Between Dunhuang Jātaka Story Paintings and Their Corresponding Scriptures

Xinyu Gao — Fri, 25 Jul 2025 15:16:30 +0800

Jātaka story paintings are common narrative subjects in Dunhuang murals. Based on corresponding scriptures, they present all kinds of good deeds that Sakyamuni sacrificed his life to save sentient beings in his previous life. Dunhuang Jātaka story paintings are highly consistent with the scriptures in content, but their intuitiveness and expressiveness are more prominent. By comparing the narrative relationship between Jātaka story paintings in the Mogao Grottoes of Dunhuang and their corresponding scriptures, this study finds that the two have unity in reproducing artistic images and restoring key plots of classic Buddhist scripture stories, but there are great differences in the narrative effect. Dunhuang Jātaka story paintings have three prominent features in narrative, including visualization of key elements, concretization of expressions and movements, and contextualization of cause and effect. This study aims to reveal the intertextual narrative relationship between Dunhuang Jātaka story paintings and their corresponding scriptures.

A Practical Study of Teaching Propositions in High School Mathematics Based on the TPACK Framework

Jianping Luo — Fri, 25 Jul 2025 09:25:00 +0800

Under the background of information technology in education, there is insufficient integration of technological knowledge, pedagogical knowledge, and subject content knowledge in the teaching of propositions in high school mathematics. Teachers mostly equate information technology with multimedia presentations, and students often memorize formulas mechanically, which leads to difficulties in the application of complex propositions. In this study, we take “the cosine formula of the difference between two angles” as an example. Based on the TPACK framework, we use contextual teaching and geometric drawing board demonstration to integrate subject content, pedagogical knowledge, and technological knowledge in teaching design and practice. It is found that by dynamically displaying the derivation process of the formula and guiding students to explore independently, it can help them understand the logic of the formula and improve their application ability. This study provides a paradigm for teaching propositions in high school mathematics and suggests that the TPACK framework can facilitate knowledge integration and cultivate students’ mathematical literacy such as problem posing and creative inquiry, which is of great significance for teaching practice.

An Exploration of IELTS Writing Teaching Based on the Production-Oriented Approach

Meng Xiong — Thu, 31 Jul 2025 09:23:13 +0800

In response to the common problems in college English writing teaching, such as the separation of learning and application, students’ low interest in writing, and difficulties in expression, this paper, based on the theoretical framework of the production-oriented approach (POA) proposed by Professor Wen Qiufang, designed and implemented a set of IELTS writing teaching plan. This plan takes “motivating, enabling, and assessing” as the core teaching process, and selects typical IELTS argumentative essay topics (such as food diversity) to create real communication scenarios. In the motivating stage, diverse inputs are used to stimulate students’ interest and expose their language weaknesses; in the enabling stage, language knowledge, viewpoint generation, and text structure are focused on for targeted input and training; in the assessing stage, a combination of teacher-student cooperation and peer evaluation is adopted to guide students to identify and correct deficiencies in language use. The research results show that the POA model can effectively enhance students’ writing interest, active learning awareness, and writing ability, particularly in overcoming vocabulary poverty and material shortages, as well as improving language accuracy and expression richness. This provides an operational theoretical basis and practical path for improving the teaching effect of IELTS writing.

Research on the Current Situation, Problems, and Solution Paths of Value-Added Evaluation for Vocational College Students in the Context of Big Data

Jing Zhang, Lili Xu, Shuai Zhang — Thu, 31 Jul 2025 13:13:39 +0800

Value-added evaluation focuses on individual student growth by tracking changes in academic performance, skills, literacy, etc., at different time points. It weakens horizontal comparisons and emphasizes vertical progress to more fairly reflect educational effectiveness. This evaluation method is particularly suitable for vocational education, effectively motivating students’ learning enthusiasm and enhancing their self-confidence. Foreign research is represented by the Tennessee Value-Added Assessment System (TVAAS), widely used in evaluating school quality and teacher performance. Domestic research currently focuses on the theoretical construction, model establishment, optimization, and practical application of value-added evaluation, still facing significant challenges in data collection comprehensiveness and model adaptability. Aiming at current issues, this study focuses on exploring the application of artificial intelligence large models in student value-added evaluation from an evidence-based perspective, committed to constructing an innovative evidence-based value-added evaluation system. It aims to achieve precise assessment of students’ learning effect “net value-added” through multi-source data collection, intelligent analysis, and personalized feedback. The system integrates outcome evaluation, process evaluation, value-added evaluation, and comprehensive evaluation to form a “four-in-one” dynamic evaluation framework, considering students’ starting points, process performance, and final achievements. In the future, value-added evaluation needs to further expand the assessment of non-academic dimensions (such as professional literacy and social-emotional skills) and explore the application of non-linear models to promote the deepening and innovation of educational evaluation reform.

Yuanying Gan, Dexiang Yang — Thu, 31 Jul 2025 13:22:30 +0800

In the context of the deepening development of the digital economy, the traditional university-enterprise collaborative innovation and entrepreneurship education model in the field of higher education is facing structural contradictions such as inefficient resource integration, loose collaborative mechanisms, and the virtualization of practical teaching. This study reveals the enabling mechanism of digital technology on school-enterprise collaboration and proposes a four-dimensional implementation path of “curriculum system–practice platform–education reform–evaluation system.” Digital technology builds a two-way circulation mechanism of knowledge flow between schools and enterprises through the data middle platform, deepens collaborative education by relying on the virtual co-research platform, innovates the ability cultivation paradigm with technologies such as VR/AR, and constructs a dynamic evaluation system using all-dimensional data. Research shows that digital empowerment can break through the temporal and spatial barriers and information asymmetry of the traditional model, improve the efficiency of resource allocation between schools and enterprises, and increase the conversion rate of students’ practical projects. In the future, it is necessary to further expand the application of technology in the top-level design of talent cultivation, improve the cross-departmental policy coordination and ethical review mechanism, and provide theoretical and practical paradigms for cultivating high-quality compound talents with data thinking, innovation ability, and industry adaptability in the digital economy era.

The Path to Enhance Career Adaptability of Novice University Teachers: The Mediating Role of Organizational Support and Self-Efficacy

Zhenlong Yan, Hsin Chang — Thu, 31 Jul 2025 13:42:08 +0800

This study examines how organizational support influences the career adaptability of novice university teachers in Guangdong, China, and the mediating role of teacher self-efficacy. Drawing on social cognitive theory and organizational support theory, we hypothesized that organizational support would positively predict career adaptability through self-efficacy. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 326 novice teachers (with 1–3 years of teaching experience) from 12 universities in Guangdong. Data were analyzed using correlation analysis, hierarchical regression, and bootstrap. Results showed that: (1) organizational support was positively associated with both self-efficacy (r = 0.62, P < 0.001) and career adaptability (r = 0.58, P < 0.001); (2) self-efficacy fully mediated the relationship between organizational support and career adaptability (indirect effect = 0.24, 95% CI [0.18, 0.31]), with a partial reduction in the direct effect from β = 0.35 to β = 0.17 (P < 0.05); (3) female teachers reported higher self-efficacy than males (P < 0.05), and teachers with 2 years of experience showed significantly higher adaptability than those with 1 year (P < 0.05). The findings highlight the critical role of self-efficacy in translating organizational support into adaptability, providing empirical evidence for universities to design targeted support strategies.

Chunhua Ren, Lin Su — Thu, 31 Jul 2025 14:31:05 +0800

The paper aims to examine the application of multimedia technology in expanding vocabulary in second language acquisition. Incorporating innovative technology such as mobile applications, gaming applications, websites, and other related online tools has increased learners’ vocabulary mastery, engagement, and motivation levels. Interactional processes like media-embedded objects, teach-learning capacity algorithms, and feedback help learners receive the course in a personalized way that considers individual learning patterns or abilities. However, there are the following challenges: accessibility issues, total reliance on technology, and issues related to privacy. The following challenges affecting learning that arise from using gadgets: the digital divide, limited device access, and environmental issues that may distract a learner in a technology-enabled environment. Moreover, the security issue for data and the ethical question of users’ information remain important too. Hence, the paper provides arguments that although these technologies contribute significantly to vocabulary acquisition, the challenge that emerges should be addressed by integrating technology in teaching and learning alongside conventional methods for vocabulary acquisition, which is a practical language acquisition tool that should not be monopolized.
