AI-Empowered Learning Ecology Under China’s ‘Double Reduction’ Policy

Zhanguo Su — 2025-04-18

China’s 2021 “Double Reduction” policy reduces student academic burdens and regulates tutoring, yet challenges remain in equitable education access and student well-being. This study proposes a digital education model—the Health Learning Chain (HLC)—using biological-behavioral big data to optimize learning through physiological, psychological, and behavioral insights. Employing mixed methods (interviews, surveys, and system dynamics modeling), it explores multi-agent collaboration and resource sharing in sports-education integration. Key findings highlight stakeholder cooperation and resource optimization as vital for success. Policy simulations show short-term gains from increased resources but emphasize long-term reliance on governance and policy support. Recommendations include boosting resources, enhancing collaboration, and establishing sustainable policy frameworks, offering actionable strategies for a balanced educational ecosystem under “Double Reduction”.

Xiankun Li — 2025-05-22

This paper focuses on the classification of reclusive poetry in the Book of Songs and the interpretation of its main chapters. Broadly speaking, reclusive poetry is defined as a type of verse that primarily expresses the idea of seclusion. Its core content includes praise for the character of hermits, advocacy of the value of seclusion, detachment from worldly fame and success, and aesthetic pursuit of natural and serene environments. The paper then provides a comprehensive and in-depth analysis of reclusive poetry in the Book of Songs, categorizing 26 poems with themes related to seclusion into five types: Seeking Seclusion Poems, Friends of Virtue Poems, Retaining Virtue Poems, Singing of Seclusion Poems, and Admiring Seclusion Poems, and interprets each chapter. Although this classification is an initial attempt, it aims to offer new academic perspectives on the multifaceted meanings of the Book of Songs through dual attention to themes and interpretations.

Application of Modern Educational Technology in the Teaching Management of Secondary School Teachers in Nanning City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region

Zhongqian Yu — 2025-05-07

This study investigates the application of modern educational technology in teaching management among middle school teachers in Nanning, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. A questionnaire was administered to 140 teachers from the Second Middle School of Hengxian County. Data analysis using statistical methods revealed that teachers generally recognize and accept modern educational technology. However, challenges remain, including teachers’ awareness, incomplete hardware and software, lack of integration with the curriculum, and individual teachers’ technological proficiency. The study found that modern educational technology enhances teaching efficiency by extending time and space, increasing interaction among stakeholders, and transforming abstract knowledge into more accessible forms. Despite these advantages, issues such as information redundancy and weak boundary awareness persist. Recommendations include improving teachers’ awareness and skills, updating facilities, and conducting regular training to enhance educational technology integration. Creating a collaborative atmosphere between teachers and students is also suggested to improve overall teaching management efficiency.

A Literature Review on Work Family Balance among Married and Childbearing Female Teachers in Chinese Universities

Xiujuan Zhang — 2025-01-08

This literature review discusses the current situation and ways in which married and childbearing female teachers in Chinese universities balance work and family. Due to the increasing number of women entering the workforce, people are paying more attention to the issues of work and family, as well as the concept of how to balance these two fields. Although multiple studies have explored the issue of work family balance for female practitioners, the results of these studies cannot be directly applied to married and childbearing female teachers in Chinese universities. Because female practitioners from different countries, regions, and professions face vastly different work family issues. Now, it is necessary to specifically analyze the issue of work family balance among married and childbearing female teachers in Chinese universities. The results show that married and childbearing female teachers in Chinese universities not only face numerous obstacles in their work, but also need to cope with various challenges in their families, as they shoulder dual careers. Adopting flexible work schedules, support from colleagues/superiors, and government coordination and promotion can alleviate the pressure brought by their dual identities.

Applications of Transformer-Based Language Models for Depression Detection: A Scoping Review

Huimin Mao — 2025-06-20

Depression is a substantial public health issue, with global ramifications. Transformer-Based Language Models (TBLM), with their ability to capture nuanced emotional and semantic information, are particularly well-suited for identifying depressive states from such unstructured textual data. The objective of this scoping review is to examine the usefulness of TBLM in detecting depression on text-based data. This study is based on a comprehensive search of Web of Science Core Collection, which includes studies that focused on the application of TBLM in diagnosing and classifying depression through social media texts. Our findings indicate that models such as BERT and its variants predominate in the existing literature, due to BERT’s demonstrated generalizability in natural language understanding and its capacity to capture semantic and affective features in social media texts. However, generative models like GPT are rarely exploring. Twitter was the most frequently used data source, attributed to its public accessibility, real-time content generation, and large user base. Domain-adapted models, including MentalBERT and RedditBERT, demonstrate promising capabilities through fine-tuning on mental health-related corpora, potentially enhancing the detection of context-specific linguistic cues. This study further suggests that TBLM are increasingly being incorporated into psychiatric practice, with evidence of rapid advancements and encouraging outcomes.

This study proposes the integration of sports and education as a potential solution, leveraging its ability to foster physical, cognitive, and social development while alleviating academic pressure. Drawing on the theories of multi-agent collaborative governance and resource symbiosis, this research investigates the mechanisms through which multiple stakeholders can effectively collaborate to achieve sports-education integration. Using a mixed-methods approach, including qualitative interviews, surveys, and system dynamics modeling, the study identifies key stakeholders, analyzes their interactions, and evaluates the impact of various policy interventions. The findings contribute to the theoretical understanding of educational involution and provide actionable insights for policymakers seeking to promote sports-education integration and mitigate the effects of educational involution.

Comics as Pedagogical Tools for Developing Emotional Intelligence in Primary Education: Theory, Practices, and Classroom Applications

Vasileios Zagkotas — 2025-05-30

This article explores the pedagogical potential of comics as tools for cultivating emotional intelligence (EI) in primary education. Drawing on contemporary research and international practices, it highlights how comics—through their unique integration of image and narrative—can support key emotional competencies such as empathy, self-awareness, self-regulation, and responsible decision-making. The discussion begins with a typology of comics (educational, literary, and graphic novels) and their specific relevance to emotional learning. It then presents concrete examples of international programs and educational uses of comics to address issues such as bullying, diversity, and emotional expression. Emphasis is placed on how comics visually represent emotions, engage students’ imagination, and provide a safe medium for discussing difficult emotional topics. The article concludes with a set of structured classroom activities tailored to different age groups (6–12 years old), each linked to specific EI skills. These include reading and discussing comics, role-playing, comic diaries, and interactive storytelling. A synthesis table maps these activities onto educational levels and competencies. Overall, the article argues that comics can be powerful, inclusive tools that foster not only language and creative skills but also core emotional competencies essential to holistic child development.

Xie Chen — 2025-02-18

As a new major in journalism and communication, network and new media is born to meet the needs of the development of the digital information age and the requirements of the integration trend of mobile Internet media. Professional construction and personnel training should be more closely related to the needs of The Times and social progress. At present, there are some problems in the cultivation of network and new media professionals in three aspects: concept, model and mechanism. The construction of the major needs to grasp the historical opportunity of the construction of the new liberal arts and upgrade the professional talent training system from the perspective of keeping pace with The Times. Specifically, the construction of network and new media major should adhere to the new era education concept of “intelligence and wisdom”, pay more attention to the “multi-dimensional” teaching and training model, and try to strengthen school-enterprise cooperation from the mechanism level, and build a new media “campus factory”.
