Exploration and Practice of WeChat Platform-Assisted Teaching in the “Pharmacology” Experimental Course

Hongjin Chen — 2025-08-12

With the continuous progress of information technology, the field of medical education is also actively seeking innovative teaching models. WeChat, as a convenient and efficient learning and communication platform, has been increasingly applied in medical education. This article takes the experimental course of “Pharmacology” as the research object and adopts the WeChat platform for the organization and implementation of teaching activities, aiming to effectively address numerous issues such as insufficient ability in independent learning of students and unsatisfactory teaching effects in the process of medical experimental teaching. By comparing the teaching effects of the experimental group and the control group, the results indicate that the teaching method based on the WeChat platform can significantly enhance students’ independent learning ability and learning efficiency, optimize the learning process, and promote the effective connection between theoretical knowledge and experimental teaching. Additionally, this article delves deeply into the unique advantages that the WeChat platform possesses in medical education, as well as the methods of effectively maintaining students’ learning enthusiasm through appropriate adjustments to the teaching content. Overall, the research results demonstrate that this teaching model not only benefits the cultivation of students’ good learning habits but also significantly improves the teaching effectiveness.

University Education Model of “Dual Academy” in the New Period

Jiancheng Bi — 2025-08-06

This article indicates the essential differences between Eastern and Western education to uncover the root causes of current educational challenges, purports to restore our national cultural confidence, and investigate a higher education system that meets the needs of the new era. It advocates for utilizing Chinese academies as the foundation for a Chinese-style education system and introduces a fresh new “Dual Academy” model that merges Western educational frameworks with Chinese academy traditions, allowing them to complement each other. This approach aims to reshape the knowledge structures of both students and educators, contribute innovative ideas to enhance the academic and discourse systems of foreign languages infused with Chinese characteristics, and develop talent cultivation strategies that align with contemporary demands.

Integrating Ideological and Political Education Across Educational Levels: A Social Integration Approach

Shengxian Jiang — 2025-08-05

Existing mechanisms are no longer adequate to meet contemporary demands for “collaborative education” combining ideological and political education. Contemporary social theory provides a scientific basis for understanding and guiding social change. This paper explores a collaborative mechanism for integrated ideological and political education in primary, secondary, and higher education from the perspective of social integration theory with the goal of unifying educational goals and achieving continuity in the educational process. The collaborative mechanism requires action at three levels–macro-level policy support, meso-level management collaboration, and micro-level innovation–to promote effective cooperation and resource sharing among educational stakeholders. Continuously improving the collaborative mechanism for ideological and political education will facilitate social development and instill young people with a sense of social responsibility, innovative spirit, and practical ability.

Shifts in Xunzi’s Status as Reflected in the Stele Inscription of the Five Sages Hall

Ruizhi Wang — 2025-07-24

In the fifth year of the Jingyou era of the Northern Song Dynasty (1038 CE), Kong Daofu constructed the Five Sages Hall (Wuxian Tang) within the Confucius Temple in Qufu. This hall enshrined Mencius, Xunzi, Yang Xiong, Wang Tong, and Han Yu, with an accompanying stele inscription extolling their role in transmitting and promoting Confucian learning. This initiative aimed to reconstruct the Confucian orthodoxy (daotong) in response to the challenges posed by Buddhism and Daoism. Xunzi’s status underwent significant shifts: esteemed during the Han and Tang dynasties for his role in transmitting the classics and his alignment with the needs of imperial unification, his standing progressively declined during the Song dynasty due to Neo-Confucian critiques of his theory of innate evil. The Five Sages Hall exemplifies the inclusivity of early Song Confucianism, while the fluctuation in Xunzi’s status reflects broader shifts within Confucian thought driven by the evolving demands of different historical periods.

Research on Innovation of Talent Training Models in Mechanical Engineering under Sino-Foreign Cooperative Education

Xiaoyan Wu — 2025-07-28

Sino-foreign cooperative education in local applied universities serves as a crucial pathway for cultivating international engineering and technical talent. This study focuses on the Mechanical Design, Manufacturing, and Automation (Sino-foreign Cooperative Education) program within the School of Mechanical Electrical Engineering at Hubei Polytechnic University. Aligning with the university’s “applied, local, and open” orientation and the industrial characteristics of the Huangshi region, the paper analyzes existing issues in talent training objectives, curriculum systems, practical teaching, and faculty development. It proposes a reform pathway centered on a “Tripartite Integration” talent training model: “Integration of International Standards and Local Needs”, “Integration of Theoretical Teaching and Engineering Practice”, and “Integration of Sino-Foreign Resources and University-Industry Collaboration”. Through measures such as optimizing training objectives, restructuring the curriculum system, innovating teaching models, and strengthening faculty development, the study provides practical references for enhancing the quality of mechanical engineering programs under Sino-foreign cooperative education in local applied universities.
