Section: Article Keywords: second language acquisition, error analysis, pedagogical strategies, near-synonyms, language transfer, chinese teaching The acquisition of near-synonymous vocabulary represents a significant challenge in the field of teaching Chinese as a second language, particularly for learners attempting to master nuanced temporal expressions. This paper focuses specifically on the Chinese near-synonymous time adverbs "Consistently" and "Continuously," which frequently cause comprehension and application difficulties. Based on a comprehensive questionnaire survey administered to 51 intermediate-level Central Asian international students, this study systematically examines the learners' acquisition processes and outcomes from three critical linguistic dimensions: semantic interpretation, syntactic structure, and pragmatic application. The quantitative and qualitative survey data indicates a widespread and general confusion between the two target words among the participant demographic. Detailed analysis reveals that the primary error types consist predominantly of contextual misuse and stylistic misplacement within sentence structures. Furthermore, the investigation demonstrates that these specific acquisition errors are significantly influenced by first language (L1) negative transfer, alongside other cognitive and instructional factors. Utilizing established error analysis theory as a foundational framework, this paper systematically categorizes these linguistic deviations and subsequently proposes targeted, evidence-based pedagogical strategies. These recommended instructional approaches include enhanced cognitive construction techniques, systematic semantic gradient training, and rigorous contrastive training exercises designed to clarify subtle lexical boundaries. Ultimately, this research aims to provide a robust theoretical and practical reference for educators, thereby improving the efficacy of teaching Chinese near-synonyms to Central Asian international students and advancing second language acquisition methodologies.

The Humanism of Ancient Chinese Shuyuan and Its Enlightenment to Modern Higher Education
Section: Article Keywords: chinese shuyuan, humanism, cultural discontinuity, higher education, educational philosophy, confucianism Ancient Chinese Shuyuan (traditional academies) represents a unique and highly influential educational institution, serving as an indispensable carrier for the historical inheritance and continuous evolution of Chinese culture. At its cultural core, the Shuyuan system is profoundly anchored in humanism. Nourished predominantly by classical Confucianism, this inherent humanism manifests prominently across four fundamental dimensions: the foundational educational principle of prioritizing moral virtue above all else, the cultivation of an inclusive and remarkably open educational philosophy, the profound educational wisdom demonstrated through deliberate environment-shaping, and the establishment of a deeply harmonious, mutually respectful teacher-student relationship. Since the dawn of modern times, accompanied by the formal abolition of the traditional Shuyuan system and the subsequent rapid rise of Western-style modern education, a profound cultural discontinuity has unfortunately occurred within the broader Chinese cultural tradition. This rupture has led to a significant loss of indigenous pedagogical wisdom. Therefore, systematically reviving the core tenets and structural system of Shuyuan within the framework of modern higher education to effectively bridge this historical and cultural discontinuity is of immense practical value.

Work-Life Balance and Teachers' Job Satisfaction at a Private University in Shandong Province
Section: Article Keywords: work-life balance, job satisfaction, higher education, teacher well-being, educational management Against the backdrop of a sustained emphasis on performance metrics and continuous quality improvement in contemporary higher education governance, teachers' work-life balance has increasingly become a crucial factor influencing their overall job satisfaction and professional well-being. This paper takes faculty members at a private university in Shandong Province as the primary research subject, systematically examining the impact of three distinct dimensions of work-life balance on teachers' job satisfaction. A comprehensive cross-sectional questionnaire survey was conducted, successfully collecting 333 valid samples from the target demographic. Subsequently, descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation analysis, and multiple linear regression models were utilized for rigorous empirical analysis. The analytical results demonstrate that teachers' overall work-life balance and job satisfaction are currently maintained at a medium-to-high level. Furthermore, the total score of work-life balance and its three underlying dimensions are all significantly and positively correlated with job satisfaction. Notably, among these factors, the Work/Personal Life Enhancement (WPLE) dimension exhibits the strongest relationship with job satisfaction and emerges as the only dimension demonstrating a significant independent predictive effect. The research strongly indicates that fostering positive work-life interaction is fundamentally more crucial than simply alleviating workplace conflict when aiming to improve teachers' job satisfaction. Ultimately, this paper provides robust empirical support for ongoing research on job satisfaction among educators in Chinese private universities and offers practical, actionable evidence for academic institutions seeking to optimize and improve their comprehensive teacher support policies.

A Comparative Study of Basic Education Reform Paths from the Perspective of PISA: The Cases of Germany, England, Finland, and China
Section: Article Keywords: pisa, education reform, comparative education, education policy, educational quality, educational equity As an international student assessment programme administered by the OECD, PISA has moved beyond merely measuring academic performance to become a crucial reference point for basic education reform globally. Amidst intensifying global educational governance, PISA shapes national judgments regarding educational quality, equity, and reform priorities through its comprehensive literacy framework and policy interpretive functions. This article utilizes document, policy text, and comparative analyses to examine how Germany, England, Finland, and China have advanced basic education reforms under PISA's influence, comparing their distinct priorities, mechanisms, and trajectories. The findings indicate that PISA has shifted basic education reform from internal experience-based logic toward external benchmarking and evidence-driven adjustments. Specifically, Germany exhibits a problem-response path focusing on national standards and equity. England demonstrates a standards-and-accountability reconstruction path centered on curriculum review and school autonomy. Finland represents continuous improvement grounded in comprehensive schooling and curriculum flexibility. Meanwhile, China's approach involves quality diagnosis and structural optimization, leveraging high performance to address structural weaknesses and assessment reform. Ultimately, this study argues that while PISA does not directly dictate national policies, it significantly reshapes how countries redefine educational quality and identify systemic issues. The resulting reform paths reveal a shared global commitment to enhancing educational quality and equity, alongside substantial differences deeply rooted in unique institutional contexts, policy traditions, and national governance styles.

Path dependence and institutional breakthrough: The transformation of children's education welfare policy in China
Section: Article Keywords: historical institutionalism, education welfare, policy change, path dependence, child development Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the national children's education welfare policy has undergone three major historical stages: early exploratory development under the traditional planned economy, comprehensive institutional adjustment driven by the transition to a socialist market economy, and integrated innovation tailored to the requirements of the new era. The profound transformation of China's children's education welfare policy has been fundamentally driven by a threefold structural logic. This framework consists of ongoing political system reform, the rapidly advancing level of macroeconomic development, and the gradual transformation of underlying cultural values regarding child-rearing and education. At the same time, viewed through the theoretical lens of historical institutionalism, this policy evolution has exhibited a distinct pattern of path dependence. Under the persistent influence of complex factors such as institutional cost effects, organizational learning effects, systemic coordination effects, and societal adaptive expectations, this path dependence has frequently hindered rapid policy change and structural breakthroughs. At present, despite significant progress, major systemic challenges remain deeply entrenched. These include the unequal regional distribution of high-quality educational resources, excessive academic pressure placed on students, and the broader demographic context of persistently low fertility rates. Looking ahead, to overcome these institutional bottlenecks, it is absolutely necessary to strengthen comprehensive legal safeguards, optimize the equitable allocation of public resources, and build a diversified collaborative governance mechanism. Ultimately, these strategic interventions are essential in order to successfully promote the sustainable, high-quality development of children's education welfare across the nation.

Outcome-Based Education (OBE), an innovative teaching philosophy centered on clearly defined learning outcomes, provides a useful framework for addressing the persistent disconnect between talent cultivation in China’s financial education and the evolving needs of industry and society. Building on OBE principles, this study analyzes the operational mechanisms and collaborative logic across the entire educational chain, covering enrollment, in-program training, and employment. It systematically identifies core challenges such as misaligned enrollment structures, fragmented curricula, weak industry–education collaboration, and insufficient data support for quality assurance. In response, the paper proposes a five-dimensional integrated approach that includes reverse enrollment profiling guided by employment outcomes, restructuring of a competency-oriented curriculum matrix, construction of an industry–education synergy ecosystem, development of a data-driven information platform, and establishment of dynamic feedback and continuous improvement cycles. Together, these measures aim to build a learning outcome-oriented quality feedback mechanism for finance and economics majors, promote high-quality program development, and offer a systematic pathway for cultivating high-caliber, application-oriented professionals who are better aligned with contemporary financial sector demands.
Research on Multiple Paths and Governance Logic of Office Efficiency Improvement in Universities from the Perspective of Intelligent Transformation
Section: Article Keywords: intelligent transformation, office efficiency, higher education governance, technology-organization-environment framework, smart campus, administrative digitalization Intelligent transformation has become a core driver for modernizing internal governance and enhancing operational efficiency in higher education institutions. Grounded in the objective of optimizing administrative efficiency, this study employs the Technology–Organization–Environment (TOE) analytical framework to explore the mechanisms through which intelligent technologies reshape the synergy between administrative management and teaching services. The research identifies three key dimensions in which intelligent empowerment enhances institutional efficiency: transitioning from process automation to intelligent decision-making, evolving from information silos to collaborative sharing, and upgrading from reactive responses to proactive, demand-oriented services. On this basis, the study constructs a multi-dimensional collaborative framework that integrates intelligent administrative systems, refined teaching management, and holistic faculty–student services. It further elaborates concrete implementation strategies for process reengineering, precision evaluation, and service innovation, emphasizing data-driven workflow optimization and evidence-based decision support. In addition, safeguard mechanisms are proposed across three dimensions: data security protection, organizational culture transformation, and performance evaluation feedback, thereby ensuring sustainable and controllable intelligent transformation. By systematically clarifying the governance logic and multiple paths of office efficiency improvement, this research provides theoretical foundations and practical guidance for universities seeking to overcome governance bottlenecks, reduce administrative redundancy, and build smart, efficient, and secure modern administrative ecosystems aligned with the strategic goals of digital higher education.

Research on Integration and Practice of Parent-Child Dance in Preschool Dance Teaching
Section: Article Keywords: preschool dance education, parent-child dance, early childhood art education, home-school collaboration, parental involvement, holistic child development This study investigates the integration and practical application of parent-child dance in preschool dance teaching within the broader context of quality-oriented education reform and the deepening collaboration between families and kindergartens. Drawing on the physical, cognitive, and socio-emotional developmental characteristics of children aged 3–6, the research aligns the pedagogical design of parent-child dance with the core principles of children’s art education. It systematically analyzes the multidimensional educational value of parent-child dance, including its role in fostering emotional attachment, enhancing motor coordination, cultivating aesthetic perception, and strengthening home–school partnerships. On the basis of literature review, classroom observation, and practice-based reflection, the study examines the current implementation status in kindergartens and identifies prominent challenges, such as fragmented instructional design, insufficient professional competence of teachers in dance and family communication, low and uneven parental participation, and a lack of age-appropriate teaching resources. These constraints limit the sustainable development and educational effectiveness of parent-child dance activities. In response, the study proposes targeted optimization strategies, including age-differentiated curriculum design, systematic teacher training, structured parental guidance mechanisms, and the development of specialized teaching materials and evaluation tools. The findings demonstrate that the deep integration of parent-child dance into preschool dance education can diversify instructional formats, promote children’s holistic development, and provide a replicable model for innovative, collaborative art education between schools and families.

Practice Path of College Students' Piano Teaching from the Perspective of Quality Education
Section: Article Keywords: quality-oriented education, college piano teaching, aesthetic education, competency-based learning, holistic student development, music pedagogy Quality-oriented education has become a core guiding principle for higher education in the new era, emphasizing aesthetic cultivation, cultural immersion, and the comprehensive development of students’ aesthetic literacy, humanistic spirit, innovative capabilities, and sound personality. As a central component of university art education and aesthetic practice, piano teaching plays an irreplaceable role in enhancing students’ musical competence, refining moral character, strengthening psychological resilience, and fostering creative thinking. Nevertheless, current piano pedagogy in many institutions still suffers from an overemphasis on technical proficiency at the expense of holistic development, privileging mechanical skill over aesthetic appreciation, uniform training models over individual differentiation, and abstract theoretical instruction over meaningful practical application. These tendencies deviate from the fundamental connotations of quality-oriented education. Grounded in its core concepts, this study systematically analyzes the educational value, developmental functions, and practical dilemmas of piano teaching for college students. On this basis, it explores practice-oriented pedagogical paths that integrate aesthetic education, competency-based learning, and student-centered instruction. The article further advocates a transformation of piano education from a model focused primarily on “skill transmission” toward one oriented to “comprehensive competency cultivation,” thereby promoting students’ all-round development in musical literacy, emotional expression, value formation, and innovative practice within the broader framework of quality education.
