Incorporating Mobile-based Artificial Intelligence to English Pronunciation Learning in Tertiary-level Students: Developing Autonomous Learning

EFL pronunciation learning is known to be teacher-centered, in which students are reliant on the feedback given by their teachers. Fortunately, the presence of technology-based learning tools is believed to be able to reduce students' dependency on teachers. A built-in Automatic Speech Recognition technology (ASR): ELSA Speak is a mobile-based application that could help students with pronunciation learning by providing prompt feedback and detailed evaluation of its users' pronunciation accuracy. The objective of this study was to examine the use of the mobile-based application, ELSA, in pronunciation learning and whether it could stimulate learners to become more autonomous. A mix-method approach was employed in this study. The quantitative data, in the forms of pre-test and post-test, was gathered through students' pronunciation recordings available in ELSA. This data was analyzed using the paired sample t-test. In addition, a Google Form questionnaire, in five-point Likert Scale, was used to support the quantitative findings. Meanwhile, a semi-structured interview with selected participants served as the qualitative one. These data were analyzed thematically based on the participants' responses. The result shows that incorporating mobile-based technology into English pronunciation learning could provide an opportunity for students to improve their pronunciation. Moreover, students could also broaden their repertoire of available practice strategies that might be useful to improve their autonomous learning ability.

An Analysis of the Innovative Model of English Course Translation Teaching in Foreign Language Listening Teaching Relying on Interactive Digital Media

Traditional single English course translation education modes can no longer stimulate students’ interest in learning and require continuous improvement in the alignment of English learning needs with individual needs. The Ministry of Education of my country has explicitly advocated a new form of education, a model of university English education (CET) based on computers and classrooms. In a networked environment, CET is constantly optimizing and adjusting the ecological balance of students, teachers, and the environment by changing the concept of education, teaching methods, and modes of education. With the rise of SPOCS, MOOCs, and mixed education, the combination of face-to-face and online learning has become an important development trend in language education. SPOCS is a new educational model based on modern educational technology, with students as the center of educational activities and the recipients of knowledge. Through the new educational mode, students can complete their education independently. This becomes part of the internalization of classroom knowledge. Therefore, the new educational mode of CET education in foreign language listening education compensates for the shortcomings of traditional educational modes and enhances the enthusiasm of students studying CET courses. To facilitate interaction and interaction between classroom education and other countries’ education system, the new educational mode enhances students’ autonomous learning abilities and effectively promotes individual learning.

Application of Deep Learning in College Physical Education Design under Flipped Classroom.

With the development of information technology, teaching reform has also undergone major changes. The traditional college physical education teaching method cannot meet the needs of the majority of students, and the physical education teaching mode continues to be reformed. Microcourse is the most intuitive form of deep integration of information technology and physical education. From the perspective of the flipped classroom (FC), the physical education model has gradually changed from teacher centered to student centered. Deep learning (DL) emphasizes that learners have the ability to actively construct knowledge, effectively transfer knowledge, and solve real problems. This design applies DL and convolutional neural network to the teaching design of physical gymnastics in colleges and universities. The application of the DL teaching model based on FC in the microcourse teaching of gymnastics in colleges and universities is studied and evaluated. The results show that the current utilization of microcourse teaching resources is too low. Interest-oriented teaching microcourses cannot improve students' interests. The proportion of students who are interested is relatively small, and more than 50% of students are not interested. Teachers generally believe that the current gymnastics microcourse needs further optimization and improvement. The poor quality of microvideos and the lack of supervision and reward mechanism in the course are the main reasons for the insufficient students' interest. The complexity of the videos and the liveliness of the discussions are the main problems of low resource utilization. The student's interest in learning is greatly improved after the application of the designed model, and the proportion increases to 82.4%. The effect on ordinary college students is the most obvious, and the effect of microvideo learning has been significantly promoted. Design mode has the most obvious improvement in improving learning efficiency and autonomous learning ability. The improvement of learning ability has increased from 18% to 72%, and the improvement of learning efficiency has increased from 39% to 82%. Meanwhile, students' interest in learning is stimulated, and the utilization of resources is improved.

Therefore, this paper designs a model based on CDIO to guide the teaching of data structures and algorithms, which emphasizes students’ hands-on ability, advocates learning in use, students’ autonomous learning, and teamwork. Taking massive online open courses(MOOC ) and small private online courses ( SPOC) learning data as a sample, hidden Markov algorithm and data mining technology are used to establish a student learning behavior evaluation model to evaluate students’ learning behavior in real-time. Meanwhile, teachers adjust the teaching content according to the evaluation results and enhance students’ learning performance and improve teaching quality.

Optimized Piano Music Education Model Based on Multimodal Information Fusion for Emotion Recognition in Multimedia Video Networks

Emotion is the important information that people transmit in the process of communication, and the change of emotional state affects people’s perception and decision-making, which introduces the emotional dimension into human-computer interaction. The modes of emotional expression include facial expressions, speech, posture, physiological signals, text, and so on. Emotion recognition is essentially a multimodal fusion problem. This paper investigates the different teaching modes of the teachers and students of our school, designs the load capacity through the K-means algorithm, builds a multimedia network sharing classroom, and creates a piano music situation to stimulate students’ learning interest, using audiovisual and other tools to mobilize students’ emotions, using multimedia guidance to extend students’ piano music knowledge, and comprehensively improve students’ aesthetic ability and autonomous learning ability. Comparing the changes of students after 3 months of teaching, the results of the study found that multimedia sharing classrooms can be up to 50% ahead of traditional teaching methods in enhancing students’ interest, and teachers’ acceptance of multimedia network sharing classrooms is also high.

Evaluation Technology of Students’ Learning Status in Chinese Classroom Based on Deep Learning

The evaluation of students’ learning status has a strong guiding role. What is taken as the evaluation standard will determine what education teaches and what students learn. As a basic subject and a lifelong art, Chinese in senior high school plays an important role in the college entrance examination; its importance can be imagined; and it has also attracted more and more attention. The assessment of students’ learning status can greatly promote students’ learning quality and values. However, the current evaluation of students’ learning status still has the score-oriented problem, and lacks enough attention to students’ interests, skills, potential, thinking, values, and other aspects, which is worrying. The function of Chinese evaluation has been narrowed to evaluate students’ knowledge and skills, and it has been euphemistically called the focus of classroom teaching. In Chinese class, the role of students’ learning status assessment has received a lot of attention, and it should play more roles in promoting students’ deep learning, so as to improve the thinking quality of learning and find appropriate learning methods. Deep learning requires students to have strong autonomous learning ability and problem-solving ability, etc. Students will benefit from developing these good habits in their future work and life.

Small private online course (SPOC), an emerging network-based, student-centered blended teaching model, combines the advantages of online teaching and flipped classroom, aiming to effectively improve students' autonomous learning ability and learning efficiency. Considering a remarkable decline in the course of Human Parasitology, we built an SPOC-based blended teaching model for Human Parasitology, covering pre-course learning, intra-course leaning, post-course consolidation and evaluation, and such a model was applied among grade 2019 students with specialty of clinical medicine. Following the application of the SPOC-based blended teaching model, most students had improvements in autonomous learning ability and activity, and understanding of human parasitology knowledge, and the examination score disparity was avoided.

Reform and Intelligent Innovation Path of College Football Teaching and Training Based on Mixed Teaching Mode

Computers and network information technology are changing our production and lifestyles and at the same time profoundly affecting the development of education. Higher education informatization focuses on the integration of information technology and higher education. It is necessary to comprehensively deepen education reform and innovate teaching methods and promote the overall improvement of education. This article aims to explore the innovative path of teaching reform based on college football training based on the current situation of college football teaching. Using literature research and questionnaire surveys, physical education teaching focuses on the unification of theory and practice. Both are indispensable. Mixed teaching is more in line with the teaching laws of physical education disciplines. It inherits the advantages of e-learning (i.e., the Internet online learning mechanism). Free from the constraints of a single online learning mode, this article designs a football training reform and innovative teaching experiment, using smart sensor technology to detect the body posture control of students participating in football teaching and training, and using questionnaires to track the nutritional adjustment of the students participating in the experiment. Through the football training scores and physical fitness index data of students in the teaching experiment, the application effect of football teaching and training reform in this research is analyzed. Experiments show that with a 95% confidence level, the football teaching and training reform program of this research can improve the football training effect of students. Colleges and universities currently pay more attention to football catching and offensive practice, especially the offensive practice accounts for 68.2%. Therefore, it has important practical value and theoretical significance to study the mixed teaching effect of using MOOC resources in football teaching. The use of blended teaching can cultivate students’ autonomous learning ability, make students transform from passive learning to active learning, stimulate students’ learning motivation, and enable students to have a strong interest in football.

At the same time, it also verifies the feasibility of the PBL teaching mode. At the same time, on this basis, this study puts forward some suggestions for the optimization of PBL teaching design under the network teaching platform.

Experimental Research on the Integration of "Internet+" into Middle School Basketball Teaching-A Case Study of the WeChat Platform

Impacted by the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic at the beginning of 2020, offline collective teaching was suspended in schools. Consequently, offline physical education teaching has been resumed, after COVID-19 while spawning rapid development of online and offline "mixed" teaching. The object of this research is to examine the effect of the integration of "Internet+" into middle school basketball teaching compared to traditional basketball teaching. The methodology was to investigate the issue via the control group method. In this research, a total of 80 students from two 2020 classes (that is, where students were admitted in the year 2020) in XX Middle School were selected as the main research objects regarding the integration of WeChat into middle school basketball teaching. The 80 students were divided into an experimental group and a control group, (small classes 1 and 2 represented the experimental group and the control group, respectively). Each contained 40 students (20 male and 20 female students). The research discovered that compared with traditional basketball teaching method, the "Internet+"-based method was important in improving students' basketball learning performance. In addition, it enhanced students' interest in basketball learning, as well as to a significant extent their autonomous learning ability. However, no obvious differences were observed between the two teaching methods in increasing the frequency of when students played basketball.

College English Multimodal Teaching Based on Digital Information Technology.

In the era of in-depth application of knowledge technology in the field of education, the teaching mode combining school English teaching and network data technology is widely used in school English education. Teaching resources have become electronic resources under the influence of digital information technology. However, English teaching often ignores all aspects of English ability, so there are still shortcomings in English teaching. The role of information technology makes a single English teaching text model unable to meet the needs of scholars. In recent years, multimodal events have enriched the expression of language input and output content, which is in line with the learning needs of current students. Therefore, under the premise of digital information technology, this paper constructs a multimodal English teaching model from the aspects of multimodal English teaching resources, multimodal English teaching activities, and multimodal English teaching analysis. It aims to mobilize the enthusiasm of scholars to learn English from various aspects and build a multimodal teaching mode of English for teachers supported by digital data technology. Therefore, the experiment shows that the multimodal teaching mode of college English based on digital information technology proposed in this paper will mobilize the enthusiasm of students to learn in a comprehensive way. It greatly improves students' English performance, promotes the development of students' autonomous learning ability and comprehensive language ability, and improves the quality of English teaching by 20%.

A self-exploratory competitive swarm optimization algorithm for large-scale multiobjective optimization

With the popularity of “flipped classrooms,” teachers pay more attention to cultivating students’ autonomous learning ability while imparting knowledge. Inspired by this, this paper proposes a Self-exploratory Competitive Swarm Optimization algorithm for Large-scale Multiobjective Optimization (SECSO). Its idea is very simple and there are no parameters that need to be adjusted. Particles evolve by exploring their neighboring space and learning from other particles in the swarm, thereby simultaneously enhancing the diversity and convergence performance of the algorithm. Compared with eight state-of-the-art large-scale multiobjective evolutionary algorithms, the proposed method exhibited outstanding performance on LSMOP problems with up to 10,000 decision variables. Unlike most existing large-scale evolutionary algorithms that usually require a large number of objective evaluations, SECSO shows the ability to find a set of well converged and diverse non-dominated solutions.
