Research on the Innovation of Practical Path of Values Cultivation for College Students in Colleges and Universities in the Context of Big Data

Abstract Colleges and universities are important places for cultivating talents for education and economic construction, and they bear the important responsibility of arming young college students with socialist core values. It is of great practical significance to strengthen research on the innovation of core value education and the cultivation path for college students. In this paper, the mean drift clustering integration module and density-sensitive spectral clustering module of the spectral clustering algorithm have been improved. Then, the improved spectral clustering algorithm and word co-occurrence model are combined to extract the keywords of value cultivation among college students. The keywords of college students’ values are analyzed, and the rankings of the distance from “values” among the college students are health, family, harmony, responsibility, love, harmony, patriotism, friendliness, and independence, in descending order. The inter-word distances are 0.645, 0.648, 0.716, 0.745, 0.795, 0.799, 0.816, 0.864, 0.865. In the test of difference in values, the difference in values of different genders is shown in the view of friendship, love, family, equality and freedom, harmony, and human attitude, and the p-value of all the above dimensions is less than 0.05. Colleges and universities should start with the educational environment, the process of student growth, and the standardization of values education to actively promote the cultivation of values among college students.

Psychosomatic health status and corresponding comorbid network analysis of college students in traditional Chinese medicine schools.

Depression, anxiety, and somatic symptoms are highly comorbid and represent the most prevalent psychosomatic health issues. Few studies have investigated the network structure of psychosomatic symptoms among traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) students. This study aims to investigate the psychosomatic health status of college students in TCM universities, while simultaneously constructing a network structure of common somatic symptoms and psychological symptoms. Online investigation was conducted among 665 students from a university of Chinese medicine. Health Status Questionnaire, Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), and Patient Health Questionnaire-2 (PHQ-2) were used to assess the mental symptoms and physical status of participants. With the R software processing, a network model of psychosomatic symptoms was constructed. Specifically, we computed the predictability (PRE), expected influence (EI), and bridging expected influence (BEI) of each symptom. Meanwhile, the stability and accuracy of the network were evaluated using the case-deletion bootstrap method. Among the participants, 277 (41.65%) subjects exhibited depressive symptoms, and 244 (36.69%) subjects showed symptoms of anxiety. Common somatic symptoms included fatigue, forgetfulness, sighing, thirst, and sweating. Within the psychosomatic symptoms network, " worrying too much about things ", "uncontrollable worries" and "weakness" exhibited the high EI and PRE, suggesting they are central symptoms. " Little interest or pleasure in doing things," " feeling down, depressed, or hopeless," " dyssomnia," and "sighing" with high BEI values demonstrated that they are bridging symptoms in the comorbid network. The psychosomatic health status of college students in traditional Chinese medicine schools is concerning, showing high tendencies for depression, anxiety, and somatic symptoms. There exists a complex relationship between somatic symptoms and psychological symptoms among students. " Worrying too much about things ", "uncontrollable worries" and "weakness" enable to serve as comorbid intervention targets for anxiety, depression, and somatic symptoms. Addressing " little interest or pleasure in doing things," " feeling down, depressed, or hopeless," " dyssomnia," and "sighing" may effectively prevent the mutual transmission between psychological and physical symptoms. The network model highlighting the potential targeting symptoms to intervene in the treatment of psychosomatic health.

Construction of a Questionnaire System for College Students’ Consumption Views Based on Discrete Regression Algorithm in the Context of Ideological and Political Education

Abstract This paper constructs a questionnaire system for college students’ consumption views based on the discrete regression algorithm combined with the questionnaire method. The least squares staggered identification method is employed in the discrete regression algorithm to select the window width and reduce the integral square error of the estimation. On the basis of continuous and discrete data, the density function and regression function are estimated, and the parametric and nonparametric estimation methods are utilized to select the optimal smoothing parameters of the regression function by the method of least squares interleaved identification. In the survey of college students’ consumption outlook, the consumption outlook of college students in colleges and universities in the S province region is taken as the research object. In the questionnaire analysis, it is known that the first factor considered by college students is the sustainable use of products. The mean value of the sustainability dimension is 4.86, and the last factor considered is the ostentatiousness and extravagance of the consumption products, and the mean values are 2.65 and 2.71, respectively. Each basic situation of the college students and the social, family, personal, and influencing factors have a significant predictive effect on each dimension of the college students’ consumption outlook status.

Level of Food Preferences among College Students of Central Mindanao University

Discovering the Learning Gradient of Students' Preferences for Learning Environment.

The aim of this study was to examine the effects of online learning self-regulation on learning outcomes during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown among university college students. Quantitative k-means cluster analysis was used to examine the relationship among students in three different clusters based on their preferences toward online learning. The results indicated that online learning self-regulation had a significant positive effect on learning outcomes due to the shift to online learning. Thus, we identified a "learning gradient" among students, showing that cluster 1 students (preferences for 100% online) have the most positive preferences toward online teaching and the highest degree of self-regulation and learning outcome, cluster 2 students (moderate preferences for both physical and online teaching) are mixed (both positive and negative experiences) and moderate self-regulation and learning outcomes while cluster 3 students (preferences for physical classroom teaching) have the most negative preferences and the lowest self-regulation and learning outcome. The results from this study show that students' self-regulated learning strategies during online teaching environments are important for their learning outcomes and that cluster 1 and 2 students especially profited from the more flexible online learning environment with organized and deep learning approaches. Cluster 3 students need more support from their educators to foster their self-regulation skills to enhance their learning outcomes in online teaching environments.

A Study on the Relationship between Emotion Regulation Strategies,Five-Factor Personality Traits and Mental Health of College Students in Private College

Private university students are an important part of Chinese college students. Exploring private university students' mental health status and its influencing factors will help college counselors and psychological counselors to carry out mental health education work. This study focuses on the analysis of the relationship between emotion regulation strategies, personality traits and mental health, and mainly uses questionnaire survey to obtain effective data of 266 college students in private universities. Through the difference test, correlation analysis and regression analysis of the three variables, it is found that students in private universities are more inclined to use cognitive reappraisal strategy. Among the five personality factors, agreeableness, Neuroticism, Extraversion and conscientiousness have significant differences in demographic dimension. Freshmen scored significantly higher than seniors in total mental health scores, self-denial, depression and anxiety. Students who had served as class leaders had better mental health status than students who had not served as class leaders. The expression inhibition strategy of emotion regulation strategy can significantly predict the level of mental health, and neuroticism and extraversion play a complete mediating role between them. Neuroticism and conscientiousness had the greatest effect on the total score of mental health. Extraversion and conscientiousness had a negative effect on self-denial, while neuroticism had a positive effect on depression and anxiety.

Do young people perceive their smartphone addiction as problematic? A study in Danish university college students

As smartphone addiction has been linked to poor mental health and lower levels of physical activity, it is of public health interest to explore the behavior behind problematic smartphone use and develop interventions to reduce smartphone use. This study aimed to investigate the risk of smartphone addiction and examine perceived problematic smartphone behavior among university college students.This online survey conducted amongst 1251 Danish University College students studied smartphone addiction in conjunction with physical- and mental health dimensions. The risk of smartphone addiction was estimated using the Smartphone Addiction Scale—Short Version (SAS-SV). The main results are presented as odds ratios from multivariate logistic regressions.One in four (23%) were at high risk of smartphone addiction. Of this high-risk group, 74% identified their smartphone behavior as problematic, with 91% having considered reducing their smartphone use.Students with a high risk of smartphone addiction perceiving their behavior as problematic were more likely to report low mental health and well-being.In conclusion, students at high risk of smartphone addiction acknowledge their problematic behavior and have actively considered behavior modifications. This knowledge can enable teachers, parents, and social and health workers to understand that a majority of heavy smartphone users are open to reducing their smartphone usage, albeit with the appropriate support.

The Influence of Parenting Styles on the Motivation of Private College Students

Parenting styles are formed and developed in the course of parent-child interactions. The results of this interaction are reflected not only in the physical parenting process of the child but also in the transmission of parental behavioural norms to the child. Behaviours such as students' willingness to learn, attitudes, emotions, attention and thinking are the direct drivers of motivation. Parenting styles, as an important part of the home environment, support the development of students' motivation to learn. Taking private colleges and universities as an example, this paper explores the characteristics of learning motivation of college students in private colleges and universities, the characteristics of parenting styles, and the influence of parenting styles on students' learning motivation. The study found that good parenting style has a significant positive impact on the learning motivation of students in private colleges and universities.

A Web Base E-Waste Management and Data Security System

With the introduction and expansion of ICT, there has been an increase in e-waste and the safety of information in e-waste. An empirical study was conducted in Benin City using a well-designed questionnaire distributed among university college students in higher education, telecommunication providers, civil servants, computer dealers, computer technicians, and e-waste collectors to suggest a framework for e-waste management and an information security tool. An average of four hundred respondents have been surveyed. The data were analyzed using SPSS, and the findings show that the human eye is inadequate for e-waste management and information security tools. The findings also revealed a well-known horrible way of thinking closer to the safety of statistics in damaged systems, owing primarily to a lack of information and the inconveniences associated with it. To address this, a framework and a functional online net website have been improved, which are based on reputation and sensitization of e-waste management and information security. This tool has been suggested as a proper e-waste management and information security tool.

Research on the interaction between university physical culture education and college students’ physical exercise in the context of big data

Abstract The background of big data has developed deeply, the application of the field has been broadened, and the value of data has been vigorously manifested. In order to study the interaction between physical culture education and exercise in universities in this era, this paper uses Clementine 12.0 data mining software to build a data mining model of association rules of university physical culture education courses and mine the course feature vectors. Based on the mining results, we designed the second classroom physical culture education courses with different physical culture characteristics. Constructing a scoring method and rating scale for the effectiveness of physical exercise among college students, and the physical exercise index scores are obtained through fuzzy operations. Finally, the interaction between physical culture education and exercise in universities in this context is analyzed according to the relationship between physical culture education courses and physical exercise performance. After the physical culture education course began, the physical exercise intensity score of the experimental group of first-year college girls increased by 8%, the physical exercise time score increased by 10%, the physical exercise frequency score increased by 15.2%, and the total physical exercise score increased by 7% after the physical culture education course. This shows that university physical culture education is positively correlated with college students’ physical activity, and campus physical culture has a significant predictive effect on students’ subjective performance of physical activity behavior. Optimizing university physical culture education not only improves students’ physical quality and promotes the development of their physical and mental health but also provides a reference for strengthening students’ physical education.

Attitudes of Karak University College students towards distance learning during the Corona pandemic

Objectives: The study aimed at identifying the level of students' attitudes towards distance learning in light of the Corona pandemic and detecting differences in students' attitudes towards the application of distance learning in light of the Corona pandemic.
 Methods: An intentional sample of students from Karak University College made up of 124 male and female students was chosen randomly. The study instrument was divided into two sections: a portion with personal information (gender, program, and level) and a section with paragraphs measuring the many aspects of distant learning. These 26 paragraphs were grouped into three categories: student, faculty member, and university. It was given to the study sample after the validity and reliability of the study tool had been established.
 Results: Students at Karak University College had average attitudes toward distance learning during the Corona epidemic, with faculty members having the best attitudes, universities coming in second with average attitudes, and students having the worst attitudes. Also, there are no gender-specific variations in how students feel about remote learning during the Corona pandemic. Also, due to the program in support of the academic diploma, there are disparities in how the students feel about remote learning during the Corona pandemic. There are distinctions based on level, favoring the second year.
 Conclusion: According to the study's findings, attitudes among students were ordinary. The study made the case that distant learning should remain an accepted educational pattern in universities and not be used as a fallback or emergency replacement for in-person instruction.

University College Students’ Experiences with Online Teaching One Year after COVID-19 Lockdown in Spring 2020

The aim of this study was to explore university college students’ experiences with online teaching one year after the lockdown in spring 2021.With quantitative cluster analysis, we have identified a “learning gradient” among students, showing that cluster 1 students have the most positive preferences towards online teaching and the highest degree of self-regulation and learning outcome, cluster 2 students are mixed (both positive and negative experiences), and cluster 3 students have the most negative preferences and the lowest self-regulation and learning outcome. In this study, we used 5 focus group interviews with 29 students based on their preferences towards online teaching to discuss and reflect on their own study planning, the shift in the learning environment, their perceived learning outcome, and positive and negative experiences from online teaching. The results from this study have shown that students’ self-regulated learning strategies during online teaching environment are important for their learning outcome. Thus, we demonstrate the disjunction between students’ learning outcome and the classroom as a fixed place for learning.

Challenges in virtual team communication in the context of virtual exchange experience

Abstract As technology has enabled people across the world to collaborate and create virtual communities, the ability to interact in computer-mediated, cross-cultural environments in a meaningful way has become a necessity. This is particularly true for younger adults who operate in virtual teams during their studies, for instance in virtual exchange projects, and later in their professional life. In this qualitative study, we examined the features and functionality of cross-cultural communication in virtual exchange teams. By analysing three datasets produced by Finnish university and American community college students (n=38) who participated in a virtual exchange, we examined what kinds of challenges emerge in the communication of virtual teams and how students use theories of computer-mediated communication when trying to make sense of those challenges. The results of the reflexive thematic analysis indicated that the challenges in communication of virtual teams stem from cultural and motivational differences. These challenges could be alleviated by increasing the shared work time allocated for social information sharing and for constructing appropriate, team-specific ways to express online social presence and propinquity. The findings highlight the meaningfulness and relationality of virtual team communication and provide insight into motivational factors and the sense of belonging when communication challenges arise.

Entrepreneurial Attitudes, Intentions and Motivations among University Students in the National Capital Region


 
 
 Utilizing the descriptive-comparative and descriptive-correlational research designs, the researcher employed a questionnaire as the principal tool in gathering data from 518 college students enrolled in the business program of the different universities in the National Capital Region (NCR) during the school year 2014-2015 through a convenience sampling.
 The findings of the study revealed that majority of the university college students belonged to the 20 years old group, were females, born in the middle sibling order, had parents who reached college, and had an average monthly income ranging from P30,000 and above, and whose families were self-employed, and had previous entrepreneurial family experience.
 The study indicated that the respondents had a positive attitude towards entrepreneurship. The respondents were found to have high entrepreneurial intentions. For the push factors that motivate respondents to become
 
 
 
 
 
 
 entrepreneurs, the respondents were much affected by the different push factors, while the pull factors were not very important to them. .
 The study also found that the exogenous factors hindering the respondents’ intention of becoming entrepreneurs will be serious problem to the respondents if they enter the world of entrepreneurship and these will bother them a lot especially upon starting a business, and so do the endogenous factors.
 Furthermore, the study found the following: a) that there was a significant difference between gender and entrepreneurial attitudes as manifested by the p- value of 0.000 which is less than 0.05 or 5%; b)that there was a significant relationship between the entrepreneurial attitudes and intention of the respondents as manifested by the p-value which is -0.169 and verbally interpreted as very low correlation and with the p-value = 0.000 which is less than 0.05 or 5%, thus, led the researcher to reject the null hypothesis (Ho); c) that there was no significant relationship between entrepreneurial intentions and motivational factors as manifested by the p-value of 0.505 and 0.611 which were higher than 0.05 or 5 percent; d) that in terms of pull factors, the entrepreneurial intentions do not affect the motivational factors or the other way around; e) that the push factors or the motivational factors do not affect the entrepreneurial intentions of the respondents. This means that even if how good are the entrepreneurial intentions, there is a possibility that motivational factors will not be good and vice versa; f) in terms of exogenous factors, the entrepreneurial intention and hindering factors do not significantly relate with one another as manifested by the r- value of 0.075 and also p-value
 
 
 
 
 
 
 of 0.870 which is greater than 0.05 or 5 percent; and g) when endogenous factors were considered, a significant relationship exists between the entrepreneurial intention and hindering factors.
