Exploring Chinese Students’ Learning Burden Reduction Policy: a Historical Policy Analysis

Abstract The student learning burden reduction policy has always been a key field concerning national education development and it is also a highly debated field in recent years. For the period of improving physical fitness, since the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, the Directive on Reducing the Excessive Burden on Primary and Secondary Schools, which was the first policy document specifically aimed at reducing the burden on students, marked that the formulation of the policy of reducing the burden in China was on the right track. For the one-sided pursuit of enrollment rate period, the comprehensive restoration and reorganization of educational work was gradually carried out. To boost economic development with talents, the country has focused on improving the teaching level and quality of schools at all levels. For period for improving the quality of education, the 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed that schools at all levels should improve the quality of education. For the period of curriculum reform of basic education, the international situation was changing rapidly, science and technology were constantly iterating, and knowledge economy became the hot spot.

The role of deep learning in the innovation of smart classroom teaching mode under the background of internet of things and fuzzy control

Electronic components are rapidly updated in the context of expanding application requirements, and communication protocols used in combination with various electronic devices are also emerging. On this basis, IoT technology has developed a variety of sensor devices and gateways, which are widely used in cities. In the field of wisdom, applying IoT technology to classrooms can effectively improve the deficiencies of traditional teaching models. Fuzzy control theory is usually based on fuzzy sets in mathematics, and is combined with neural network, genetic and probability algorithms to form a calculation method. Fuzzy calculation has the ability to simplify the system input of a variety of complex variables, and its applications in the field of education are mainly: provide evaluation of teachers' teaching effectiveness. The advancement of science and technology has promoted the change and updating of the teaching mode. With the continuous advancement of basic education curriculum reform and the continuous deepening of classroom teaching reform, classroom teaching is also in urgent need of reform, from traditional classrooms to smart classrooms. Smart classrooms combine advanced technology with teachers' teaching. Through the dynamic data, the analysis instantly understands the student's learning situation, and then integrates it into education and teaching in a targeted manner. This paper conducts a questionnaire survey on the current situation of smart classroom teaching, and summarizes the current teaching problems. Then, combining the Internet of Things, fuzzy control and deep learning technology, from the two aspects of school teachers and students, it is proposed for smart classroom to promote students' learning effect. With its novel and new-style teaching advantages, smart classroom has gradually entered the public's vision and gained the attention and support of the majority of educators. Taking Grand Wisdom Classroom as an example, it uses the “Internet +" way of thinking and the new generation of information technology such as big data and cloud computing to create intelligent and efficient classrooms, realizing the whole process of application before, during and after class, and promoting the development of students' wisdom. Under the mobile Internet model, students and teachers can communicate anytime and anywhere. Combined with the analysis and application of our big data technology, data-based precision teaching becomes possible. In a real sense, learning before teaching can be realized and teaching can be determined by learning.

The Politics Reform of Education in China: The Curriculum 2001 and the New Curriculum

The Chinese Ministry of Education produced the Basic Education Curriculum Reform Outline in 2001, and it was primarily used to implement excellent education. The examination-based model of education underwent some changes in the ensuing decades, but there were also some obstacles to overcome, such as the economic disparity between urban and rural areas, the significant shortage of resources for teachers, and the conflicts that teachers had to deal with during the 2001 curriculum reform. This article suggests various remedies, including having instructors modify their instructional strategies and begin focusing on the actual needs of their pupils. The new curriculum's 2022 version was introduced in September, and there is optimism that these issues will be resolved.

A novel MADM-based efficient methodology with 2-tuple linguistic neutrosophic numbers and applications to physical education teaching quality evaluation

With the successful promotion of the new round of basic education curriculum reform, China’s physical education (PE) teaching ideology and PE teaching mode have undergone profound changes, and these changes urgently require schools to establish a PE teaching quality (PETQ) evaluation system that is compatible with them, and urgently resolve the contradiction between theory and practice. The evaluation of teaching quality is not only a value judgment of teachers’ teaching ability and teaching effect, but also a value judgment of students’ learning ability and learning achievement changes. Therefore, it is an important issue of higher education research to construct a university PE teaching quality evaluation system and actively promote the healthy development of university PE teaching evaluation. The PETQ evaluation is viewed as the multi-attribute decision-making (MADM). In order to take the full use of power average (PA) operator and Heronian mean (HM) operator, in this article, we combine the generalized Heronian mean (GHM) operator and PA with 2-tuple linguistic neutrosophic numbers (2TLNNs) to propose the generalized 2-tuple linguistic neutrosophic power weighted HM (G2TLNPWHM) operator. The G2TLNPWHM could relieve the influence of the awkward data through power weights and it could also consider the relationships between the attributes, and it can give more accurate ranking order then the existing methods. The new MADM method is built on G2TLNPWHM operators. Finally, an example for PETQ evaluation in is used to show the proposed methods.

A Landmark in China’s Basic Education Curriculum Reform

Curriculum reforms in basic education have been an essential component of educational reform, playing a crucial role in promoting student holistic development. To secure their national competitiveness, developed countries have made persevering efforts to improve their basic education. In the early 1990s, the United States started to implement the reform in curriculum standards as a major strategy to address those long-standing issues in basic education such as low academic levels of students and inequality in education, which could be impediments to the achievement of the nation’s political, economic, and social development goals. The revised curriculum standards strived to eliminate the prevalent acceptance of “mediocrity” in the education system. Student learning was transformed into a succession of interrelated activities centered on core objectives and students were encouraged to construct new knowledge based on prior experience. As a result, the previous curriculum system that was loaded with repetitive and superficial exercises was abandoned (Chen, 2004).

Analysis on the Policy Environment Influencing Factors of Chinese Environmental Education Development and the Reform Trend in Combination with Environmental Education History.

At the turn of the century, facing the challenge of information and technology, environmental education, and talent competition, the world's major environmentally, educationally developed countries have entered the wave of environmental education reform. This was promulgated in 1999, and our country also successively promulgated through “the central committee of the communist party of China under the State Council on deepening environmenta education reform and comprehensively promote quality environmental education decision” in 2001 the “basic teaching environmental education course reform outline (try out),” launched to “deepen the environmental education reform and comprehensively promote quality environmental education” for the purpose of the foundation environmental education course and teaching reform. The curriculum reform is characterized by government leadership, expert guidance, and teacher participation. Its specific approach is top-down, overall promotion, concept guidance, experimental exploration, and gradual expansion, which has achieved a lot of theoretical and practical achievements. However, the practice of more than ten years has proved that the goal of the curriculum reform of basic environmental education has not been safely realized, the classroom has not undergone fundamental changes, and the advanced curriculum concept and curriculum system have not been transformed into advanced classroom teaching practice. This paper mainly discusses the influencing factors of the policy environment of environmental education development in China and analyzes the trend of reform in combination with the history of environmental education. On the one hand, the research of this paper can enrich the research theory of pedagogy; on the other hand, it can provide reference for the practical environmental education reform and have rich significance in theory and practice.

Status Quo and Countermeasures of Heuristic Teach-ing in Rural Primary and Secondary Schools from the Perspective of China's New Curriculum Reform of Basic Education

Under the guidance of student-oriented and teacher-led teaching philosophy, heuristic teaching centers on provoking students' thoughts and advocates that teachers should arouse their enthusiasm and initiative in learning starting from the actual situation and in strict accordance with teaching tasks and the objective laws of learning. A string of new forms and features now label the heuristic teaching amid the implementation of new curriculum reform. Specifically, teachers improve students' ability to locate and solve problems, and cultivate their skills of cooperation, autonomous learning, and innovation through feasible inspiration and instructions. Middle and primary schools in rural areas, however, suffer from backward teaching amid the full swing of the new curriculum reform. In that case, teachers are obliged to dissect the problem and better the relatively lagging thought-provoking teaching through several paths.

Informatisation of educational reform based on fractional differential equations

Abstract Information technology application ability is a necessary professional ability for teachers in the information society. The means to take effective measures to promote the acquisition and transfer of teacher information technology application ability involves undertaking measures to facilitate teachers to transform teaching methods, deepen basic education curriculum reform and promote teachers’ lifelong learning. It plays a vital role in effectively promoting the independent development of majors and further cracking the bottleneck problem of educational information development. This study uses the fractional differential equation method to select 220 elementary and middle school teachers in the Northeast Teacher Education Innovation Experimental Zone as the research objects. The research objects are measured by a scale and fractional differential equations are used to build a system that includes school factors, human factors, policy and institutional factors, training factors, self-efficacy factors and motivation factors of teacher information technology application ability transfer fractional differential equation influencing factor model; we hope to solve the problem of ‘learning and use disconnect’ in the process of teacher information technology application ability training, and to promote the effective transfer of teacher information technology application ability that can be used as an important reference.

Continuous Professional Development for Teacher Educator Development in Myanmar Education Colleges

This article reports on the role of teacher education in the curriculum reform of basic education in Myanmar. There was political change in Myanmar, a transition from military administration to democracy in 2010. Political change impacts on various sectors such as economic, education and health. As the education system was changed to meet the international standards, curriculum in basic education and teacher education were updated. In the previous education of Myanmar that has progressed from the old monastic education to the current modern education, there has never been a curriculum framework although syllabi, textbooks, teacher’s guides with different teaching methods and various assessment forms were designed and used. Therefore, Myanmar Ministry of Education is now implementing the educational reforms by setting the curriculum framework with the direction of the National Education Law (Soe, et al.; 2017, Htet, 2020). This paper provides an overview of teacher education, basic education, curriculum reforms. Although teacher education including three institutions cooperates with basic education in implementation of the new curriculum, it found that there are still few weaknesses in implementation of the new curriculum of basic education. Soe et al. (2017) recommended that the new curriculum will fulfill local needs and circumstances and discourage the practice of rote-learning and will ensure that students grow as independent thinkers with their own sense of creativity.

A Comparative Study of RTOP and Chinese Classical Classroom Teaching Evaluation Tools

The new round of basic education curriculum reform in China recently will inevitably bring about the reform of classroom teaching. To find a method of testing the reformed classroom teaching effect so that it follows the new curriculum reform is a problem that needs to be solved urgently. On the basis of examining the evaluation concept and application of the "Reformed Classroom Teaching Observation Protocol (RTOP)" originated in the United States, we test the appropriateness of RTOP in China's classroom teaching evaluation environment from both qualitative and quantitative perspectives, with good results. By comparing the advantages and disadvantages of RTOP and China's "Toshiba Cup Scoring Table", it is found that RTOP can provide guidance for the transformation of classroom teaching evaluation concepts and the development of evaluation tools in the context of China's new curriculum reform.

Comparison of Classroom-Based Sedentary Time and Physical Activity in Conventional Classrooms and Open Learning Spaces Among Elementary School Students.

European children and adolescents spend most of their daily life and especially their school hours being sedentary which may increase their risk for chronic non-communicable diseases later in life. After the curriculum reform of Finnish basic education in 2014, most of the new or renovated comprehensive schools in Finland incorporate open and flexible classroom designs. Their open learning spaces may provide students opportunities to reduce sedentary behavior during school hours. Thus, waist-worn accelerometers were used to assess classroom-based sedentary time (ST), the number of breaks from sedentary time (BST), and physical activity (PA) among cross-sectional samples of 3rd and 5th grade students during two separate academic years in a school that underwent a renovation from conventional classrooms to open learning spaces. The cohort of 5th grade students before renovation had a smaller proportion of ST from total classroom time (56.97 ± 12.24%, n = 42 vs. 67.68 ± 5.61%, n = 28, mean difference = 10.71%-points, 95%CI = −15.65 to−5.77, p < 0.001), a greater number of BST per 60 min of classroom time (7.41 ± 1.16 breaks/h vs. 9.19 ± 1.59 breaks/h, mean difference = −1.78 breaks/h, 95%CI = −2.486 to −1.079, p < 0.001) and a greater proportion of light intensity PA (28.66 ± 9.99% vs. 22.56 ± 4.59%, mean difference = 6.10%, 95%CI = 2.56 to 9.64, p = 0.001) than the 5th grade cohort assessed after renovation. The cohort of 3rd grade student had a greater proportion of moderate-to-vigorous intensity PA (MVPA) after the renovation compared to the cohort assessed before the renovation [Mean Rank (Before) = 27.22, Mean Rank (After) = 37.58, U =524.0, p = 0.033]. Despite the greater ST found in 5th graders, schools with open learning spaces may facilitate BST or MVPA as observed in the 5th and 3rd grade cohorts in open learning spaces compared to the cohorts in conventional classrooms, respectively. Future studies should seek to investigate and develop teacher practices to capitalize the potential of open classrooms to reduce ST, since classroom renovation alone may not be a sufficient intervention as of itself. Longitudinal studies utilizing randomized controlled trials are warranted.

English Hybrid Cooperative Learning Model Based on Genetic Algorithm

With the further development of basic education curriculum reform and the rapid development of network technology, hybrid learning has been introduced into various disciplines of basic education, which has become a new development trend.
