A Multi-Dimensional Framework of Flipped Learning Adoption in Practical Skill Education
type: item
description: Flipped learning has emerged as a transformative pedagogical approach, particularly in the context of practical skill education. However, its adoption remains inconsistent due to the complex interplay of technological, instructional, and contextual factors. This study proposes a multi-dimensional framework to guide the implementation of flipped learning in practical skill-based courses. Drawing on a comprehensive review of literature and expert consultations, the framework integrates four key dimensions: learner readiness, instructional design, technological infrastructure, and organizational support. Each dimension encompasses specific factors influencing the effectiveness and sustainability of flipped learning practices. The proposed framework not only provides educators and institutions with a structured approach to adopt flipped learning but also highlights the interdependencies among dimensions that are critical for fostering skill acquisition, engagement, and long-term retention. Empirical validation through case studies in vocational and technical education demonstrates the framework's applicability and potential to enhance the teaching and learning of practical skills. This study offers actionable insights for policymakers, curriculum designers, and educators aiming to optimize flipped learning adoption in skill-oriented educational contexts.

Exploration on the Teaching Reform of the Course “Packaging Testing Technology”Based on the OBE Concept
type: item
description: “Packaging Testing Technology” is a fundamental and core course within the Packaging Engineering curriculum, playing a pivotal role in developing students’ comprehension of testing principles, methodologies, and engineering applications. Under the dual guidance of Engineering Education Accreditation (EEA) standards and the Outcome-Based Education (OBE) philosophy, curriculum reform in this course necessitates a systematic restructuring of its instructional objectives, content framework, practical modules, assessment mechanisms, and continuous improvement strategies. Anchored in the OBE approach, this study conducts a comprehensive analysis of the Packaging Testing Technology course by integrating questionnaire surveys, student performance analytics, and reflective teaching evaluations. Through this evidence-based analysis, the paper identifies key deficiencies in alignment between course objectives, learning outcomes, and industry competency requirements. Accordingly, a reform framework is proposed featuring reverse curriculum design, modularized instruction, tiered practical training, multi-dimensional assessment, and a continuous improvement feedback loop. This reform model aims to holistically enhance students’ engineering practice capabilities, innovative thinking, and overall professional competence. The findings suggest that such an approach not only strengthens the alignment between teaching outcomes and engineering practice needs but also provides a transferable reference for pedagogical reform in other engineering-oriented courses.

type: item
description: With the global emphasis on programming education, cultivating primary school students’ basic programming skills has become a key component of quality-oriented education. This study aims to investigate the opinions of third-grade students at Xincheng Primary School in Lingui District on improving basic programming skills and develop targeted academic administration practical plans. A mixed-method research design was adopted, including a questionnaire survey of 184 third-grade students and focus group discussions with 5 experts. The questionnaire, validated by experts (IOC: 0.67-1.00) with high reliability (Cronbach’s α=0.895), was used to collect data on students’ general information and their perceptions of programming learning. Quantitative data analysis employed percentage, mean, and standard deviation, while qualitative analysis of expert opinions informed the development of practical plans. The findings revealed that students’ overall perception of programming skills was at a high level (x=3.93, S.D.=1.05), with basic computer operation skills scoring the highest (x=4.00, S.D.=1.13) and basic programming concepts scoring the lowest (x=3.88, S.D.=1.05). Key challenges included standardized file management, understanding abstract concepts, balancing technical effects with project themes, flowchart application, and collaborative documentation. Based on these results, practical plans were developed covering five dimensions: basic computer operation skills, basic programming concepts, graphical programming skills, logical thinking and problem- solving ability, and project practical skills. This study provides practical references for optimizing primary school programming education and enriches the theoretical system of information technology education management. The developed practical plans offer actionable strategies for teachers to address students’ specific needs and improve the quality of programming teaching.

Exploratory Research on the Practice of Introducing Zhuang Baidan Culture into Primary School Music Classrooms
type: item
description: As an important carrier of Zhuang ethnic group’s intangible cultural heritage, the Zhuang pole dance encapsulates the collective memory and ethnic wisdom of rice culture. With its lively rhythm, simple movements, and vivid form, it possesses significant potential for educational transformation. This study, based on a three-year systematic exploration at Jiangbei Primary School in Nanning City, deeply analyzes the value implications, practical bottlenecks, and solutions for integrating the Zhuang pole dance culture system into primary school music classrooms. The research finds that by constructing a trinity teaching model of “cultural cognition foundation, skill learning consolidation, and innovative expression sublimation,” it is possible to effectively alleviate core difficulties such as insufficient teacher qualifications, shortage of curriculum resources, low student interest, and inaccurate evaluation systems. Practical results show that this approach not only significantly enhances students' sense of rhythm, collaboration ability, and innovative thinking but also fosters a deeper sense of ethnic cultural identity and self-confidence among students. Based on this, this paper proposes that in the future, efforts should be made to build regional teaching and research communities, develop integrated digital resource libraries, and improve long-term school-local collaboration mechanisms to promote the systematic and ecological inheritance of such ethnic traditional cultures from “entering the campus” to “living in the campus”during the basic education stage.

Happiness Predicts academic achievement: A Longitudinal Empirical Analysis of Subjective Well-Being and Academic Performance Among College Students
type: item
description: This study employed a longitudinal design involving 224 college students in Quanzhou City, Fujian Province, China, to examine the predictive relationship between subjective well-being (life satisfaction, positive emotions, negative emotions) and academic achievement (GPA earned). Data were collected through two questionnaire surveys (one yearapart). Results indicate that subjective well-being predicts academic achievement one yearlater. Specifically, life satisfaction and positive emotions exert significant predictive effects, while negative emotion shows no significant impact. Conversely, academic achievement didnot significantly predict subjective well-being one year later. The study confirms that happiness is a positive predictor of academic achievement, rather than academic achievement influencing happiness. However, the explained variance is small (2-4%), indicating that other factors play a more substantial role. Further analysis indicates that positive emotions exertlong-term effects on academic achievement by broadening cognitive and behavioral patterns and enhancing stress resilience. Life satisfaction indirectly promotes academic achievement by increasing learning engagement and autonomy. The study suggests that higher education should prioritize happiness education, enhancing student academic achievement through value transformation and well-being training. Limitations include regional sample concentration, uncontrolled socioeconomic variables, and the need for larger, more diverse samples in future research.

Populus euphratica spirit and education rooted in the border areas--connotation and connection
type: item
description: Anchored in the strategic roles that China’s border regions play in safeguarding territorial integrity, advancing ethnic integration, and guaranteeing national defense, this study underscores education as the linchpin for regional stability and prosperity. It distills the Populus euphratica spirit into three core dimensions—tenacity, dedication, and adaptability—and systematically diagnoses the formidable challenges confronting borderland education: resource scarcity, cultural complexity, outdated educational mindsets, and persistent brain drain. Empirical findings reveal that the Populus euphratica spirit furnishes local educators with powerful moral impetus, motivating them to remain at their posts, surmount hardships, and innovate in practice—most notably through the development of ethnically responsive curricula and the adoption of distance-learning technologies. Such efforts have proven indispensable in cultivating indigenous talent, preserving ethnic cultures, fostering national unity, and fueling socio-economic development along the frontier. The study contends that promoting this spirit is pivotal for rallying educational forces, stabilizing teaching corps, and sustaining the long-term development of borderland education. Correspondingly, it proposes four targeted strategies—intensified ideological outreach, improved teacher remuneration and career prospects, robust incentive mechanisms, and expanded collaboration between border and inland institutions—to furnish both theoretical guidance and actionable pathways for the advancement of education in China’s border regions.

Research on the Application of Multimodal Biometric Recognition Technology in Educational Scenarios: Insights from Educational Equity and Digital Literacy Based on Smart Bus Projects
type: item
description: This study is based on the smart public transportation project, which means that the current payment methods for public transportation in China have transitioned from cash and physical cards to QR code scanning. However, there are still significant pain points, and the elderly population is not proficient in operating smartphones, resulting in insufficient digital service coverage. The mature application of multimodal biometric technology in the fields of finance and security provides the possibility of technology transfer for public transportation scenarios. Through systematic technology transfer and educational scenario reconstruction, this study explores its practical value in bridging the digital divide in education, optimizing resource allocation, and building technological ethical boundaries. Empirical research has shown that the dynamic liveness detection and voiceprint fusion verification mechanism reduces the operating time of digital tools for elderly teachers by 82.3%, and dialect adaptation technology significantly improves the digital literacy of students in remote areas;The lightweight model driven by edge computing achieves millisecond response of educational resources in a low bandwidth environment. The research proposes a theoretical framework of "Educational Aging Assessment Standards" and "Dual track Technology Ethics System" to provide innovative paths for the digital transformation of education.

Multimodal Archives, Monophonic Futures: A Transformer-Based Paradigm Shift in Kyrgyz Musical Documents
type: item
description: The digitisation of musical manuscripts has transformed them from static heritage assets into dynamic data capital. This study explores how digitisation enhances the cultural value of musical manuscripts in low-resource contexts, focusing on Kyrgyz instrumental traditions (küü). Grounded in the SCP-R (Structure, Culture, Performance, and Resources) model, we analyse digitisation's impact through structural, cultural, performance, and resource dimensions. We propose a three-stage"embed–reconstruct–transform" framework, leveraging 12,400 folios and 2,300 hours of audio from the Kyrgyz National Conservatory. A Kyrgyz-tuned Transformer (MusicKG-T) trained with nomadic-path contrastive learning (CMCL-Kyrgyz) demonstrates that digitisation improves accessibility and usability, significantly increasing cultural and economic value. Findings offer a reproducible workflow for Silk-Road archives and highlight implications for music education and cultural policy. Future research should validate applicability to vocal traditions and other regions.

Structural Compatibility in Sino-Kyrgyz Musical Fusion Cross：Cultural Reception Analysis
type: item
description: Against the backdrop of global cultural integration and the diversification of popular music, cross-ethnic music fusion has emerged as a significant pathway for cultural innovation and dissemination. Kyrgyz music, as a representative tradition of Central Asia, is characterized by its distinctive melodic systems, composite rhythmic structures, and unique instrumental timbres (Alymbaeva, 2021). Chinese ethnic music, rooted in the pentatonic scale, integrates diverse rhythmic patterns and a rich array of instruments to form an expressive system with a distinct Eastern aesthetic. Drawing on music semiotics (Nattiez, 1990) and cross-cultural communication theory (Berry, 2005), this study proposes that the deep structural compatibility between Chinese and Kyrgyz music—in terms of rhythm (e.g., asymmetric meters), scale structures (pentatonic vs. natural scales), and timbral features—facilitates their organic integration into popular music. Such fused works are hypothesized to evoke stronger emotional resonance and cultural identification among cross-cultural audiences compared to monocultural compositions. Using a mixed-methods approach combining quantitative surveys and qualitative semiotic analysis, the study validates these hypotheses and identifies specific fusion mechanisms, including rhythmic slicing and recombination, modal superposition, and vocal technique dialogue. The findings provide both a theoretical framework and practical strategies for cross-cultural music innovation, with implications for the contemporary adaptation and global dissemination of ethnic musical traditions.

The samples were 265 students and 32 teachers at Sichuan Film and Television University. The instrument used was 40-item, 5-point scale questionnaire validated by three experts (IOC: 0.67-1.00). The data were analyzed by quantitative methods using percentage, mean, and standard deviation, and presented through the results derived from these analyses. The findings revealed that the highest student issues and needs were that the syllabus was outdated and did not reflect the latest dance developments (x=4.87, S.D.=0.37) and should be updated accordingly (x=4.81, S.D.=0.39); teachers reported similar concerns about the syllabus being outdated and ignoring current trends (x=4.88, S.D.=0.34) and the need for updates (x=4.84, S.D.=0.37), and The management policy for improving the quality of learning in the dance major should be the syllabus should be updated to reflect current developments in the art of dance. Dance training in the classroom should allow students to expresstheir individuality and provide personalized training programs. Teachers should provide sufficient individualized instruction and feedback to meet students' learning needs. Theories learned in the classroom should be closely related to practical application in dance creation. Textbooks and reference materials should be updated regularly to minimize reliance on outdated resources. Teachers should be aware of career development and employment trends in the dance industry to guide students' career planning.

Learning Outcomes Development for Improving the Employment Rate of the Hotel Management Students at Guilin Tourism University in China
type: item
description: This study investigates the fluctuating employment rates of hotel management graduates from Guilin Tourism University, a Sino-foreign cooperative program with École hôtelière de Lausanne (EHL). Despite the program's aim to cultivate internationally competitive talent, employment rates have seen a significant decline, from a peak of 98.21% to a low of 45.28%. Through a mixed-methods approach—incorporating surveys of 246 graduates and 120 industry stakeholders, alongside focus group discussions—this research identifies critical deficiencies in graduates' professional knowledge, practical skills, and sense of responsibility. Concurrently, employers emphasized high expectations in professional ethics, service quality, adaptability, and English proficiency. Statistical analysis (e.g., correlation, regression) confirmed significant relationships between these competencies and employment outcomes.The findings reveal a pronounced gap between student competencies and industry demands. In response, this paper proposes an integrated set of strategies, including curriculum modernization, systematic practical training, soft skills development, enhanced career guidance, and faculty internationalization. These measures are designed to bridge the identified gap, improve graduate competitiveness, and ultimately contribute to the development of both the university and the regional tourism industry. The study offers valuable insights for optimizing Sino-foreign cooperative education models within China's evolving hospitality landscape.

Research and practice on ideological and political team building in packaging engineering courses under the background of engineering education certification
type: item
description: Under the background of professional accreditation of engineering education, the packaging engineering major in colleges and universities actively explores the integration path of professional courses and ideological and political education. Taking the core courses of the packaging engineering major as the research object, this paper constructs a diversified course ideological and political teaching team construction mechanism with the collaborative participation of "on-campus teachers + corporate mentors + industry experts", focusing on the fundamental task of cultivating morality and cultivating people in the undergraduate talent training stage. By sorting out the current situation and outstanding problems of course ideological and political construction, a team formation model and operation guarantee system are proposed, and its application practice in core courses is explained with typical cases. The research results show that the collaborative teaching team effectively promotes the organic integration of ideological and political elements and professional knowledge, significantly improves students' professional knowledge application ability and ideological and moral literacy, and helps cultivate high-quality engineering talents with patriotism, social responsibility and innovative spirit. This research and practice provides new ideas and useful references for the deepening construction of course ideological and political under the background of engineering education accreditation.

Study on Optimizing Senior High English Assessment via Multi-dimensional Item Set Effect
type: item
description: Currently, English reading, as a core module in the middle school English assessment system, accounts for a high proportion usually exceeding 70%. Addressing the limitations of traditional models in English reading assessment, this study proposes the Multidimensional Partial Credit Testlet Model (MPCTM) based on the Partial Credit Model (PCM), by integrating the multidimensional ability space, multi-level scoring mechanism, and testlet random effects. Results of the simulation study show that the error and bias of MPCTM in parameter estimation are significantly lower than those of traditional models. Findings from the empirical study confirm that MPCTM has better explanatory power and goodness of fit in complex assessment scenarios; in the future, it is necessary to increase the proportion of mixed question types and expand its interdisciplinary applications.
