Practical Dilemma and Optimization Path of Digital Teachingof Applied University Teachers
As the direct practitioner of talent training, applied university teachers play a vital role in implementing the national education digital transformation policy and effectively promoting the implementation of digital teaching. However, applied university teachers are faced with many dilemmas in the current digital teaching practice, which are mainly reflected in the lagging teaching presentation, inefficient use of technology and the alienation of teaching function. The emergence of these dilemmas is objectively linked to structural constraints imposed by the external institutional environment and resource conditions, while subjectively it stems from the intrinsic limitations of teachers' subjectivity and competence. Therefore, beyond these dilemmas, applied university teachers need to improve their own digital literacy level, and at the same time, the school should create an educational governance guidance ecology to promote the digital development of teachers, and provide all-round support and guarantee for teachers' digital teaching.

A Comparative Study of the Allocation of Geography Education Resources in Compulsory Education between Urban and Rural Areas: A China–India Case
The allocation of geography education resources in urban and rural compulsory education has far-reaching implications. This article conducts a comparative analysis of the urban–rural education systems in China and India from four dimensions: educational finance, human resources, spatial geography, and cultural institutions. It closely examines the differences in resource allocation at the compulsory education stage between the two countries, identifies the underlying causes, and discusses possible solutions. Through a review of the literature, this study maps the current research progress and highlights both the commonalities and differences between China and India in terms of the structure of financial investment, distribution of teaching staff, geographical accessibility, and cultural acceptance. The findings show that although both China and India face the problem of unequal development between urban and rural education, China’s policy interventions have focused on the redistribution of resources within the formal system, whereas in India, long-standing social stratification and the diversion between public and private education have made structural barriers particularly prominent. Under such circumstances, future efforts to optimize the allocation of urban–rural educational resources must move beyond simple fiscal support and enter a stage of multidimensional governance integrating institutions, space, and culture, so as to draw on useful experience and promote the realization of educational equity.

Exploratory Research on the Practice of Introducing Zhuang Baidan Culture into Primary School Music Classrooms
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
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.

These approaches are expected to enhance training effectiveness, foster teachers’ professional growth, and promote sustainable preschool education.
Populus euphratica spirit and education rooted in the border areas--connotation and connection
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
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
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
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 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.

Study on Optimizing Senior High English Assessment via Multi-dimensional Item Set Effect
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.
