The Impact of Self-determination Motivation on Academic Achievement in the Context of Knowledge-Oriented Short-Video Learning
Section: Article Keywords: Knowledge-based short video learning, self-determination motivation, cognitive academic achievement, goal orientation, self-regulated learning strategies In recent years, the ways individuals acquire knowledge and information have evolved significantly, with short video platforms increasingly incorporating educational content and becoming widely used tools for learning. Although prior studies have confirmed the effectiveness of short video–based learning, the role of self-determination motivation in this context remains insufficiently examined compared with traditional online learning environments. Grounded in knowledge-oriented short video learning, this study explores how college students’ self-determination motivation influences cognitive academic achievement, focusing on the mediating roles of goal orientation and self-regulated learning strategies. Survey data collected from 505 university students with short video learning experience indicate that self-determination motivation positively predicts goal orientation, self-regulated learning strategies, and cognitive academic achievement, and further enhances cognitive academic achievement through the mediating effects of goal orientation and self-regulated learning strategies. These findings provide theoretical support for improving learning effectiveness in short video learning contexts and offer empirical evidence for the appropriate and optimized use of this instructional approach.

Research on the Construction of a Dynamic Evaluation Model for Vocational Education Quality Based on Multimodal Learning Analytics
Section: Article Keywords: Vocational Education, Quality Assessment, Multimodal Learning Analytics, Dynamic Model, Data Silos Driven by globalization and educational informatization, new models of vocational education have emerged, posing significant challenges to traditional mechanisms of vocational education quality assessment and certification. Existing evaluation frameworks are constrained by two critical limitations: data silos and timeliness lag, which are reflected in issues such as single-source data dependence, static and retrospective assessment processes, difficulties in establishing cross-border data trust, and restricted circulation of certification outcomes. From an international perspective, this study constructs a dynamic evaluation model for vocational education quality by integrating blockchain technology with multimodal learning analytics theory. Leveraging the inherent characteristics of blockchain, the model establishes a cross-border and cross-institutional trusted network for the authentication and circulation of learning achievements, enabling continuous tracking of learners' cross-border learning trajectories. By incorporating multimodal learning analytics techniques, the model conducts in-depth mining of multi-source learning data and integrates sentiment recognition to achieve comprehensive, fine-grained, and real-time analysis of learning processes. Ultimately, through smart contract-enabled data aggregation, the model generates traceable, quantifiable, and dynamically updated learner competency profiles and evaluation reports, providing effective support and practical pathways for quality assessment and certification in internationalized vocational education.

The study found that: there is a significant deviation of "heavy cognition and light emotion" in the goals of parenting; urban and rural infants and toddlers show faults in their social emotional abilities, and rural children lag significantly in interpersonal communication and adaptability; there are structural dilemmas such as superficial communication and "desertification" of community support in the collaborative mechanism of home communities. To this end, the research proposes a systematic intervention path from family empowerment, home co-education to community support, with a view to providing a reference for building an effective early development support system.

Analysis of Test Scores Considering the Influence of Question Difficulty: A Case from Bridge Seismic and Wind Resistance Course
Section: Article Keywords: test scores, question difficulty, set pair relation criterion, comprehensive analysis model, newly offered course Bridge Seismic and Wind Resistance Design is a newly offered elective course for the civil engineering major. Due to a lack of experience in test design for this new course and the scattered nature of its knowledge points, the difficulty of some test questions in the final examination deviated, which affected the accurate subsequent assessment of teaching effect subsequently. Therefore, this paper first analyzes the influence of test question difficulty on its scores. Then, the Set Pair Analysis (SPA) theory was introduced, and the score rate was selected as the indicator to measure the contribution of each question with different difficulty degrees to the overall test scores evaluation. A comprehensive test scores analysis model that can consider the test question difficulty is established. Finally, the validity of this test scores analysis model was explored through the class performance of the past year, which can provide theoretical guidance and data support for continuous teaching reform and quality assessment.

Immersive Media and the Development of Intercultural Information Literacy: Facilitating Rational Evaluation of Scientific and Health Content Among Chinese Learners
Section: Article Keywords: immersive technologies (VR/AR), Intercultural Media Literacy (IML), health information literacy, scientific communication This study proposes a rigorous mixed-methods Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) to evaluate the efficacy of immersive technologies (Virtual Reality/Augmented Reality) in cultivating Intercultural Media Literacy (IML) among Chinese university students, with a particular focus on advanced scientific communication and health information evaluation. The rationale for the study is informed by empirical evidence indicating the increasing complexity of digital health information environments. This complexity is reflected in relatively low levels of health information literacy (only 39.2% of assessed students were found to have sufficient health literacy), a heavy reliance on social media platforms for health information (with WeChat serving as a primary source for 98.35% of the population), and a prevalent tendency to adopt low-effort information screening heuristics. In addition, the intervention considers cultural learning characteristics, such as the emphasis on harmony, which may influence students' willingness to engage in reasoned discussion and analytical exchange in real-world contexts. The VR/AR intervention is theoretically grounded in the Media Literacy Theory of Change and employs high-fidelity simulated information scenarios to foster reflective cognitive engagement. This design guides students to move beyond reliance on personal knowledge or authority toward systematic traceability and cross-validation strategies. The collaborative VR environment provides a psychologically safe and non-confrontational space for analytical discussion, thereby helping to alleviate cultural constraints associated with public expression. Evaluation relies on culturally validated quantitative instruments (e.g., the Scientific Integrity Perception Scale and the Critical Health Literacy Scale) in combination with objective behavioral data logging within the VR environment, ensuring a robust Level 3 (behavioral) assessment. The expected outcomes include measurable improvements in reflective judgment, enhanced self-efficacy (SMD = 0.86), and the sustained internalization of high-standard information evaluation behaviors as default practices.

Teaching Ethical Reasoning with AI-Generated Dilemmas: A Module Design for Interpreter Education
Section: Article Keywords: interpreter education, professional ethics, ethical reasoning, artificial intelligence, large language models, scenario-based learning, pedagogical design While artificial intelligence (AI) has been increasingly integrated into interpreting workflows, pedagogical resources that systematically develop ethical reasoning competence in this context remain scarce. This article addresses preparing interpreter students for ethical reasoning in technology-mediated contexts where AI systems pose novel dilemmas concerning data privacy, transparency, responsibility, and equity, and presents a four-week module design using AI-generated scenarios to develop such competence. Drawing on situated learning and reflective practice, the module combines scenario-based learning, dialogic pedagogy, and critical AI literacy. The design progresses from instructor-led analysis to student-led facilitation, with each two-hour session combining small-group scenario analysis, facilitated discussion and reflection. Large language models (LLMs) generate ethical dilemmas tailored to institutional contexts, while instructors critically curate this content and model systematic evaluation of AI outputs. Assessment comprises participation, applied framework analysis, and reflective essays examining reasoning processes. The article provides implementation guidance including session structures, facilitator strategies, scenario generation principles, and assessment frameworks adaptable to diverse contexts. The design demonstrates how AI, when critically framed, can scaffold ethics education by developing dual competencies increasingly essential for interpreters: technical facility with AI tools alongside critical literacy about their limitations.

Research on the Professional Development Path of University Teachers from the Perspective of Scholarship of Teaching and Learning
Section: Article Keywords: Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL), teachers' professional development, path selection With the rapid advancement of higher education in the twenty-first century, the professional development of university teachers has gradually become a central issue of concern in educational research and institutional practice. In this context, the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL), as an emerging academic orientation within higher education studies, has opened up a new and systematic research perspective for understanding and promoting university teachers' professional growth. From the perspective of SoTL, the professional development of university teachers should not be limited to the accumulation of teaching experience or the improvement of instructional skills, but should instead emphasize a fundamental transformation in teachers' disciplinary cognition, teaching values, and professional orientations. This transformation requires teachers to regard teaching as a form of scholarly inquiry, to continuously reflect on instructional practices, and to integrate teaching, research, and learning into a coherent professional framework. At the institutional level, the SoTL perspective highlights the importance of strengthening academic exchange mechanisms, fostering sustainable teaching communities, and establishing structured and specialized teaching development programs that support long-term professional learning. Through collaborative inquiry, peer communication, and systematic training, university teachers can gradually enhance their instructional scholarship competence, including the ability to design evidence-based teaching, conduct reflective analysis, and disseminate teaching outcomes in academically recognized forms. Ultimately, by embedding the principles of SoTL into the professional development system of university teachers, higher education institutions can promote the continuous improvement of teaching quality, support the sustainable development of teaching cultures, and contribute to the overall enhancement of talent cultivation in higher education.

Independent, Combined, and Interactive Effects of Foreign Language Writing Boredom and Enjoyment on Writing Strategy Use
Section: Article Keywords: foreign language writing boredom, foreign language writing enjoyment, English writing strategy, Chinese undergraduate students, control-value theory, broaden-and-build theory This study investigated the independent, combined, and interactive effects of foreign language writing boredom (FLWB) and foreign language writing enjoyment (FLWE) on English writing strategy (EWS) use among 259 Chinese undergraduate EFL students, providing novel perspectives on the emotion–writing strategy relationships. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was employed to examine how FLWB and FLWE predicted four types of EWS use: metacognition, revision, L1 use, and L2 use strategies. Independent predictive analyses showed that FLWB negatively predicted metacognition, revision, and L2 use strategies, whereas FLWE positively predicted all four strategy types. In the combined model, FLWE emerged as the dominant predictor across all four strategy categories, and the effects of FLWB were no longer significant. The interaction analysis further revealed that higher levels of FLWE amplified the negative impact of FLWB on metacognitive strategy use in the moderation model. These findings highlighted the importance of cultivating positive emotional experiences and mitigating boredom in L2 writing contexts. They also underscored the need to support learners’ emotional regulation skills to facilitate strategic behaviors. Theoretically, the findings provide empirical evidence for assumptions of control-value theory about effects of achievement emotions on strategy use and the unique effects of positive emotions proposed by broaden-and-build theory in Chinese L2 writing environment. Also, this study revealed boundary conditions for broaden-and-build theory about undo hypothesis in the context of Chinese undergraduate EFL writing.

Study on Cross-Cultural Adaptability of International Students in China
Section: Article Keywords: cross-cultural adaptation, international students, education level, achievements In recent years, the number of international students in China is growing rapidly, showing a vigorous upward trend. However, it is a challenging work to reveal the law of cross-cultural adaptation of international students in China. In this paper, the group of international students in a high-level university in Xi'an, China was taken as the research object. Through the research method of questionnaire survey and SPSS analysis, the cross-cultural adaptation ability of international students in China was comprehensively and comparatively studied from the aspects of academic status, language status, social communication, psychological status and natural environment. The result show that language adaptation, communication with Chinese classmates and teachers, and academic adaptation are the three major challenges faced by international students. Degree of understanding of the university and education level are the most correlated factors with the cross-cultural adaptation of international students. In addition, the stronger the cross-cultural adaptability, the greater the ability to acquire achievements in China. It is hoped that this work can play a guiding role in the cross-cultural adaptation of international students in China.

A Review of Gamification Research in Online Education
Section: Article Keywords: online education, gamified learning, review and evaluation Currently, gamification has increasingly garnered extensive attention from both academic circles and industrial sectors due to its inherent advantages in fostering user immersion, enhancing engagement, and cultivating long-term loyalty. Within the specialized field of pedagogy, gamified learning represents the strategic integration of these ludic elements into educational frameworks. Although the scholarly investigation of gamified learning spans a significant historical trajectory, a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of the underlying "game chemistry" within the specific context of online education remains insufficient at this stage. Consequently, this paper first provides a systemic synthesis of the current landscape regarding online education platforms both domestically and internationally, while clarifying the formal definition of gamification and tracing its developmental evolution. Furthermore, the existing body of research concerning gamification in online education is categorized into three distinct dimensions for a rigorous and detailed discussion: the mechanical relationship between specific gamification elements and measurable learning outcomes, empirical practices that explore the multifaceted effects of gamified interventions, and targeted research focusing on the diverse application scenarios of gamification. Finally, this paper summarizes the core research contributions within the domain of online education gamification and offers a forward-looking prospect on future developmental trajectories and potential research frontiers in the digital era.

A Study on the Pathways of Self-Cultivation among Young University Faculty: A Deep Case Analysis from the Field of Law
Section: Article Keywords: young university faculty, self-cultivation, internal motivation, external support, professional development, case study, interdisciplinary transition In the context of ongoing reforms aimed at strengthening China's higher education faculty, fostering effective self-cultivation mechanisms among early-career academics has become a strategic priority. This paper presents an in-depth longitudinal case study of a young legal scholar who successfully transitioned from an undergraduate background in English to becoming a doctoral supervisor in civil procedural law within a decade. Drawing on semi-structured interviews, archival documents, and reflective narratives collected over ten years, the study identifies a co-driven developmental mechanism shaped by the interplay of internal motivation and external support. Internally, a clear professional vision, sustained growth in self-efficacy, and strategic cross-disciplinary knowledge integration served as core drivers. Externally, institutional policy incentives, access to international academic platforms, and participation in professional communities provided critical scaffolding. Building on these insights, we propose an integrated four-dimensional self-cultivation pathway-comprising goal orientation, competency enhancement, resource support, and evaluative feedback-as a practical framework for supporting early-career faculty development. The findings offer both theoretical contributions to non-Western understandings of teacher agency and actionable implications for university leadership seeking to optimize faculty development systems.

A PAC-Based Study of Japanese Majors' Chinese and Japanese Cultural Cognition and Intercultural Expression
Section: Article Keywords: PAC analysis, cultural cognition, cross-cultural expression, differentiated teaching This paper employs PAC analysis to investigate the cognitive structures of Japanese major international students concerning Sino-Japanese cultural differences, aiming to provide a comprehensive understanding of their perceptual and interpretive frameworks. The study reveals that media-driven stereotypes and the phenomenon of "differences within similarities" frequently serve as focal points in students' perceptions, highlighting the nuanced and sometimes contradictory ways they interpret cultural information. Additionally, the research identifies distinct thinking patterns among students, which can be categorized into three main types: media-sensitive, value-reflective, and symbol-interpretive. Media-sensitive students tend to rely heavily on portrayals and narratives presented in news and entertainment media, often shaping their initial judgments and assumptions about cultural differences. Value-reflective students, in contrast, demonstrate an analytical approach that emphasizes underlying cultural norms, ethical values, and social principles, leading them to engage more critically with cross-cultural observations. Symbol-interpretive students focus on the meanings attached to cultural symbols, gestures, and practices, interpreting cultural nuances in a way that integrates both personal experiences and broader societal representations. Based on these findings, the study proposes the implementation of a stratified task system that assigns learning activities according to students' cognitive tendencies, a multi-dimensional evaluation mechanism to assess both comprehension and application of cultural knowledge, and bi-directional cultural expression training strategies designed to cultivate students' ability to participate actively in intercultural dialogues. Collectively, these strategies aim to support the transformation of students from passive receivers of information into proactive agents capable of navigating, interpreting, and contributing to cross-cultural understanding. By offering a structured framework that addresses both cognitive and experiential aspects of cultural learning, this research contributes to the development of educational practices that foster deeper intercultural competence and more effective communication in diverse academic environments.

A Systematic Inquiry into the Structured Application and Mechanisms of Psychodrama in University Mental Health Services
Section: Article Keywords: psychodrama, university mental health services, mechanism analysis, experiential learning This study offers a comprehensive and systematic examination of the structured application of psychodrama, an experiential and action-oriented psychological intervention, within university mental health service systems. Focusing on its integrated use across individual counseling, group-based interventions, mental health education courses, and campus cultural performance activities, the research analyzes how psychodrama operates as both a therapeutic method and an educational practice in higher education settings. Through structured role playing, scene reenactment, and guided group interaction, psychodrama provides students with embodied opportunities to externalize internal experiences, reorganize emotional responses, and reflect on interpersonal patterns in a supportive environment. The findings indicate that these core techniques effectively promote self-awareness, enhance emotional regulation abilities, and strengthen social adaptability, thereby contributing to students' overall psychological well-being and developmental resilience. Furthermore, the study highlights the value of psychodrama in bridging counseling services and mental health education by transforming abstract psychological concepts into observable and participatory experiences. Based on the empirical observations and practical outcomes, the paper proposes an application framework specifically adapted to the organizational characteristics and developmental needs of universities, and puts forward practical recommendations for incorporating psychodrama into comprehensive campus mental health systems, with the aim of improving service accessibility, intervention effectiveness, and the integration of preventive and developmental mental health support for college students.

Section: Article Keywords: sports and health, core competencies, large unit design Physical education and health education play a fundamental role in promoting the comprehensive development of young students and constitute an essential component of school education. With the continuous advancement of educational reform in China, the concept of core literacy has gradually become a central concern in the field of physical education, emphasizing the cultivation of students' key abilities, essential character traits, and lifelong development capacities through discipline-based learning. In order to better respond to the developmental requirements of students' core literacy in physical education, the design and implementation of large-unit learning have emerged as an important pedagogical approach. Large-unit learning design helps overcome the fragmentation of traditional teaching content, enhances the internal coherence of learning objectives and activities, and promotes the integrated development of knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values. Based on this background, this study systematically examines the necessity of adopting large-unit learning design in physical education under the framework of core literacy cultivation. Furthermore, in light of the practical, applicable, and integrative characteristics of physical education core literacy-oriented unit design, and guided by the fundamental principles of large-unit design aligned with disciplinary core literacy goals, this study analyzes and organizes the key elements involved in the design of large-unit learning in physical education. These elements include learning objectives, content structure, learning tasks, teaching strategies, and evaluation methods, all of which are closely connected to students' actual learning experiences. To enhance the concreteness and operability of the analysis, a junior high school volleyball teaching unit is used as an illustrative case to demonstrate the elemental characteristics and implementation pathways of large-unit learning design in physical education. The findings aim to provide theoretical support and practical reference for physical education teachers in planning and implementing large-unit teaching designs, thereby contributing to the effective cultivation of students' core literacy through physical education practice.

Design of Rasch-Based Evaluation Scale for Chemistry Experimental Teaching Literacy among Pre-Service Teachers
Section: Article Keywords: chemistry experimental teaching literacy, pre-service teachers, Rasch model Experimental teaching competence constitutes a fundamental component of professional literacy for pre-service chemistry teachers, reflecting their ability to integrate theoretical knowledge with practical laboratory skills, organize and present experimental procedures effectively, and adapt their instructional strategies to diverse learning situations. Systematically assessing the developmental level of this competence is critical for guiding teacher preparation programs, informing curriculum design, and promoting the overall quality of chemistry education. Based on the Rasch measurement model, this study developed a comprehensive evaluation scale tailored to pre-service chemistry teachers' experimental teaching literacy. By deconstructing the workflow of experimental teaching tasks, a four-dimensional framework was established, encompassing "knowledge understanding, skill execution, expression and organization, and thinking adjustment," with twelve initial indicators. These indicators were translated into 75 test items through a rigorous development process involving iterative expert review and multiple revisions. The scale was administered to 244 pre-service chemistry teachers from two universities, and Rasch modeling analysis was performed using Winsteps software. Items were evaluated and refined based on fit statistics, discrimination indices, and other relevant metrics, resulting in a final scale containing 56 well-functioning items. Empirical analysis indicates that the finalized scale demonstrates strong internal consistency, robust construct validity, and the capacity to provide multidimensional and precise assessment of experimental teaching literacy. By offering a reliable and empirically validated tool, this study supports both research and practical evaluation in chemistry teacher education, enabling educators and program designers to identify strengths and areas for improvement, and to tailor instructional interventions that enhance the development of high-quality experimental teaching competencies among pre-service teachers.

Foreign Language Writing Emotions and Writing Strategy Use: Levels and Learner Differences among Chinese Undergraduate Students
Section: Article Keywords: foreign language writing boredom, foreign language writing enjoyment, L2 writing strategy, leaner variables, Chinese undergraduate students Writing emotional experiences and strategy use are two important parts in the field of Second Language Acquisition (SLA). The present research investigated foreign language writing boredom (FLWB), foreign language writing enjoyment (FLWE), and the application of L2 writing strategies. The study first explored the levels of L2 writing emotions and frequency of L2 writing strategy use. Furthermore, the study examined how learner variables were related to learner variables. Data were collected through a questionnaire administered to 150 Chinese undergraduates serving English as a foreign language. Firstly, descriptive statistics showed that the levels of FLWB, FLWE and EWS use among Chinese undergraduates are moderate overall, while social writing enjoyment (SWE) reached a high level. Secondly, findings from independent samples t-tests, one-way ANOVA, and subsequent post hoc analyses indicated that English majors and students with higher levels of self-perceived English proficiency reported significantly greater FLWE, lower FLWB, and more frequent use of EWS. In contrast, neither gender nor grade exerted significant effects on these variables. We also recommend universities to promote enjoyment, reduce boredom and boost strategy use by influencing these learner variables in L2 writing environment.

Research on the Dynamic Analysis Application of Calculus in Product Pricing Strategies an Empirical Study Based on Yiwu Small Commodities Market
Section: Article Keywords: calculus, dynamic pricing, demand elasticity, marginal cost, Yiwu small commodities, error analysis To address the dilemma that traditional static pricing fails to adapt to the dynamic market changes, this study constructs a product dynamic pricing analysis system based on calculus theory. By employing core tools including derivatives, differential equations, and integrals, it quantifies the correlation mechanism between dynamic variables (such as cost fluctuations, demand elasticity, and competitive dynamics) and product pricing. Taking 18 typical products across 6 categories in the Yiwu Small Commodities Market as the research objects, combined with the market's historical transaction data from 2021 to 2024, this study establishes three models: a marginal cost pricing model, a dynamic demand elasticity adjustment model, and an integral-based product lifecycle pricing model. The model accuracy is verified using three metrics: Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), and Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE). The results indicate that the prediction accuracy of the calculus-based dynamic pricing model is significantly superior to that of the traditional static pricing model, with an average MAPE of only 6.8%, a reduction of 13.2 percentage points compared with static pricing. After the application of this model, the average gross profit margin of the 18 products increased by 8.3%, among which products with high demand elasticity (e.g., disposable toothbrushes and non-woven shopping bags) achieved a profit growth rate of over 18%. This study confirms that calculus provides a precise quantitative analysis tool for dynamic pricing, and its core value lies in transforming pricing from an "experience-based judgment" to a "data-driven" approach. It offers theoretical support and practical paradigms for Yiwu small commodity enterprises to formulate flexible and efficient pricing strategies.
