Enhancing Local Chinese Language Teacher Training in the Republic of the Congo

China is now one the most important countries in the globe, and with the increasing influence of Chinese language and culture, Chinese education has become more and more important during the last two decades in Africa in general, and in the Republic of Congo in particular. However, we assert the existence a major flaw in the field of Chinese education, mainly the lack of adequate training programs for Chinese teachers. Thus, this study investigates the current situation of local Chinese teacher training in the Republic of the Congo, with to goal to identify the main challenges related to the issue, and to put forward innovative methods to solve these challenges. Lately, Chinese teaching in the Republic of Congo has developed rapidly. Looking into the future, this research outlines the future research direction in the field of Chinese teacher training. It emphasizes the potential long-term impact of intensive training on language education, cultural exchanges and economic opportunities for Congolese students. In addition, it emphasizes the role can be played by government agencies, educational institutions and international organizations in supporting such initiatives.

Deep learning model-based reading of Chinese language and literature classics and situational experience

Abstract In this paper, a new media scenario experience model is constructed to integrate Chinese language and literature works through deep learning algorithms. Firstly, the model is trained as a whole, RBM is a special form of Boltzmann machine, and the energy function is defined by combining the input layer vector and the hidden layer vector to calculate the marginal probability distribution. Then the defined energy function can be used to derive the joint probability formula of state values, link this probability formula with the hidden layer between the neuron nodes, use the logistic function to define the energy of the whole Boltzmann machine, and finally, after repeated training to derive the entropy function of the RBM, to complete the construction of a new media-based scenario experience platform. The experimental results show that after a semester of teaching based on this platform, the scoring examination of new media scenario experience classical reading was conducted. The percentage of those who passed was 82%, and only 18% failed. Therefore, we should make full use of multimedia technology, innovate efficient Chinese language and literature teaching methods, turn the classroom into a stage, enhance the novelty of Chinese language and literature courses, and enhance the intuitiveness of classical reading in Chinese language and literature.

A Comparative Study on Critical Thinking Skills of ISEC and Non-ISEC Teachers in Institutions of Higher Education in the North of China

Viewed as one of the essential skills needed to succeed in the 21st Century, advancing student's critical thinking (CT) is a significant focus in higher education. This study utilized a non-experimental causal-comparative methodology with an explanatory mixed methods research design. The purpose of this study was to explore the status quo (current situation) of Chinese teachers’ (including ISEC and non-ISEC teachers) CT, as well as the perception, attitude, and practice of CT among them in institutions of higher education in the north of China. There were 102 participants took the California Critical Thinking Skills Test (CCTST). The results from the quantitative research showed the CT skills of Chinese teachers fell in the upper range of moderate level. There were no significant differences or relationships in CT skills for ISEC and non-ISEC teachers based on the variables: gender, professional rank, educational background, discipline taught, age, and years of teaching. Twelve participants were interviewed. The core phenomenon or theory emerged from the qualitative data: Chinese teachers advocated and supported CT instruction, but they had a varied and fragmented perception about CT. Although they held a positive attitude towards CT and CT instruction, they applied limited CT teaching strategies in their practice. All participants displayed a strong desire to participate in CT training programs. The findings from the qualitative paradigm supported, complemented, and deepened the findings from the quantitative paradigm.

“In Communion with God”: The Inculturation of the Christian Liturgical Theology of Giulio Aleni in His Explication of the Mass (Misa Jiyi)

Liturgical practice and its theological interpretation are not only very important to the Chinese inculturation of Catholicism in particular and Christianity in general but also of great significance in the establishment of an indigenized Christian faith and system of life. This paper will analyze the methodological approaches and historical inspirations for the inculturation of Christian liturgical theology through Giulio Aleni’s (1582–1649) Explication of the Mass (Misa Jiyi, 弥撒祭义), the first book to utilize Chinese cultural resources to systematically interpret the Mass (Eucharist). Continuing the general Jesuit accommodation initiated by Matteo Ricci, Aleni established an indigenized liturgical system of theology through intercultural learning, borrowing, and creative construction. Three of his contributions especially stand out. First, Aleni explained the significance of the Mass in terms of the Chinese philosophical–ethical concepts of “repaying the roots” (baoben, 报本) and “giving thanks” (gan’en, 感恩). Second, he elaborated on communion with the Trinitarian God in the Mass through Jesus Christ by drawing on the ancient Chinese teachings of repaying (chou, 酬), commemoration (shi, 示), and hope (wang, 望), which Aleni related to “giving thanks to the Father,” “commemorating Jesus,” and “invoking the Holy Spirit.” Finally, he provided a deep spiritual explanation of the Mass, using the traditional Confucian concepts of “self-restraint” (keji, 克己), “self-reflection” (fanji, 反己), and “spiritual meditation” (chouyi, 抽绎) to help believers understand the activities of repentance, commemoration, and prayer in the Mass. Overall, Aleni emphasized that the essence of the Mass was to achieve “communion with the heart of heavenly Lord” (xihe tianzhuzhixin, 翕合天主之心), which, as a pivot of faith, could be extended into daily life through its spiritual practice. Aleni, therefore, established a comprehensive system of “liturgy-spirituality-life” for Chinese Christians by indigenizing Christian liturgical theology through intercultural learning. His creative synthesis yielded a dynamic balance between Christian and Chinese traditions, absorbing Confucian resources to imaginatively enrich and expand the Christian tradition, while encouraging the creative transformation of the Christian tradition into the Chinese cultural community.

Chinese school teachers’ imaginaries of being intellectuals

ABSTRACT This article presents an exploratory qualitative study that investigated a group of Chinese school teachers' imaginaries of intellectuals and self-perceived experiences of being an intellectual. The study was informed by the perspectives of critical pedagogy, that is, to transform technician-like teachers to organic, transformative, or society-involved intellectuals with an activist vision and emancipatory commitment. The findings were generated from textual analysis of in-depth interviews. Chinese teachers tended to distance teaching from their imagined intellectual work, which was deemed value-free and prestigious. Additionally, they rarely regarded themselves as critically engaged agents committed to challenging the oppressive structure in education. Their unreflexive acceptance of the intellectual-teacher divide and their depoliticised stance have largely been shaped by the instrumental approach of education, the pleasure-driven cultural industry, and the unique ideological landscape in China.

Russkie hudozhestvennye pesni v issledovanii roli prepodavaniya vokal'noj muzyki v pedagogicheskih universitetah Kitaya

In Europe, the study of Russian art song is very standardized and systematized, it is widely used in the field of vocal music teaching in universities, and its content is also very high. In China, with the realization of China's “One Belt, One Road” strategy and the increasing cultural exchange between Russia and China, Russian art songs gradually attract the attention of vocal music teachers in Chinese teacher training colleges and universities and are studied accordingly. Therefore, it is very important to recover the value of Russian art songs in terms of their structural proportions, aesthetics and other aspects of the original musical system, as well as their current status and application in vocal music teaching in Chinese teacher training colleges.

Exploring Chinese Early Childhood Teachers’ Mathematical Belief Profiles and Associated Teacher Characteristics

ABSTRACT Research Findings: This study explored the mathematical belief profiles of Chinese early childhood teachers and examined the associations with teacher characteristics. A total of 391 teachers completed the Early Childhood Teacher Mathematical Belief Scale, of which 36 teachers were interviewed to provide further information. The latent profile analysis identified three distinct mathematical belief profiles: (1) Constructivist profile, (2) Mixed high constructivist and traditional profile, and (3) Mixed low constructivist and traditional profile. Teachers with bianzhi, more than 15 years of teaching experience, and having received professional development in early math were more likely to adopt a Constructivist profile. Practice or Policy: The results showed there are intra-cultural variations in Chinese teachers’ beliefs about early math teaching and learning. This study highlights the need for early childhood teacher educators and policymakers to consider how to help teachers find an appropriate balance between western pedagogies and Chinese traditions.

Efficacy of Inquiry-Based Learning and Teaching Approach in EFL Inferential Reading Comprehension among Chinese High School Students

Chinese EFL high school teaching often overlooks critical inferential reasoning in reading comprehension. This study proposes a shift from teacher-centric methods to an Inquiry-Based Learning and Teaching (IBLT) framework, expected to enhance EFL inferential reading abilities among Chinese high school students. This aligns with China's National English Curriculum Standards, emphasizing the importance of such proficiency. The study gauges current EFL reading comprehension in Chinese high schools and assesses IBLT's efficacy through a controlled, nine-week experiment, with data analysis revealing a positive impact. The findings aim to inform pedagogical tactics, promoting a more interactive, student-focused teaching model.

Application of a Short Video Caption Generation Algorithm in International Chinese Education and Teaching

With the continuous development of speech recognition technology, automatic subtitle generation has gradually attracted people's attention. However, the level of short videos is uneven, and cultural teaching is also one-sided, irregular, and lacking systematicness. Since the media era, it is possible to apply the short video subtitle generation algorithm to international Chinese education and teaching. However, Chinese teachers should pay attention to some possible problems in self-media videos and adopt appropriate teaching strategies. This paper mainly discusses the development of international Chinese education and teaching under the new media environment, and discusses the characteristics, advantages, and disadvantages of international Chinese education and teaching under the new media environment, as well as the existing problems. Short video subtitle generation algorithm provides a new way for international Chinese education and teaching, enhances the vitality of education, and expands educational channels.

Teachers’ conceptions of gratitude and its cultivation in schools in China

ABSTRACT Gratitude has recently received increasing scholarly attention as a moral value and virtue important for individual and social functioning and therefore worth cultivating in schools. However, previous research has often been based on experiences in western societies, while moral values and moral cultivation are understood in different ways across cultural contexts. This exploratory qualitative study examines teachers’ conceptions of gratitude and their experiences of cultivating gratitude in schools in mainland China. Based on semi-structured interviews, the findings highlight Chinese teachers’ culturally distinctive conceptions of gratitude and its cultivation, namely its role in developing relationships and maintaining social harmony, and the importance of acts of reciprocity. This empirical study develops a more substantive cross-cultural understanding of the nature of gratitude and practices of moral cultivation in schools.

The Current Situation of Chinese Teaching in Higher Vocational Colleges

The construction mechanism of high-quality student source base in Colleges and high schools is not perfect In order to keep up with the construction requirements of relevant education departments, some colleges and universities have some coping behaviors in the construction of high-quality student source base, and there is no perfect mechanism in the construction of high- quality student source base. For example, some colleges and universities have not carried out active promotion and implementation of supporting facilities after the establishment of high-quality student source base, as well as contact and interaction with students in this field, which leads to the active state of colleges and universities, while the high school is in a passive state. Over time, the driving force of cooperation between the two gradually declines, which is also an important factor affecting the cooperation between the two One. Therefore, in view of this phenomenon, colleges and high schools need to establish a scientific and reasonable evaluation system, and regularly evaluate the cooperation content and effect.
