A Study on the Construction of Translation Curriculum System for English Majors from the Perspective of Human-Computer Interaction

This paper proposes a collaborative human-computer interaction recommendation model for English major translation courses to address the problems of poor course recommendation and lack of robustness to noisy data in traditional recommendation models for English major translation courses. First, a new data enhancement method is proposed for the bipartite graph structure. Then, the enhanced data is fed into a graph convolutional neural network for node feature extraction to obtain node representations of users and items. A recommendation supervision task and an auxiliary task for contrast learning are constructed for joint optimization. The human-computer interaction model of the knowledge graph is designed, and the dialogue entities are embedded in the knowledge graph ripple network to obtain potentially interesting content for students. Finally, the student interaction content and node representations are combined to obtain the optimal translation course recommendation. The experimental results indicate that the proposed model in this work is capable of producing higher-quality English major course recommendations and beats other current models. This model is suitable for English primary translation course content recommendation and helps to improve students’ translation ability.

A Probe into Integration of Blended Teaching Mode Based on Production-oriented Approach into Implementation of Morality Cultivation of College English Teaching

With the advocacy of embedding morality education into whole-courses in higher education stage, many scolars and teachers have begun to research and practice on this field. College English, as one major course, should go hand in hand with this teaching reform. This study guided by Production-oriented Approach which emphasizes students’ langauge acuqisition by production, probes to explore an organic integration of online and offline blended teaching into implementation of morality cultivation of college English, aiming to construct an effective approach in promoting students’ language competence and cultivating their comprehensive morality in both ways.

Research on the Civic Policy Model and Reform Innovation of Intelligent Sensor Technology Course

Intelligent sensor technology is a professional course of communication, electronics, information, computer, and other related majors and is a course of expansion and extension of computer network (Ministry of Education of the People’s Republic of China, 2001). It is connected with the Internet by using information sensing device to realize the intercommunication of time and space, people, machines, and things. Intelligent sensor technology is an advanced subject; it contains a lot of ideological elements; in teaching, it should be according to the characteristics of the subject, set the goal of ideological education, to design the content of the ideological education, improve the ideological education, to carry on the course of the construction of the ideological practice and exploration, and guide students to set up the correct world outlook, the outlook on life, and values (The State Council of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, 2010). Integrating the elements of thinking and politics into the teaching of intelligent sensor technology and organically combining thinking and politics teaching with professional teaching is conducive to realizing the nurturing function of professional teaching and establishing an all-round curriculum system, so that professional and thinking and politics courses can go hand in hand and produce synergy. With the concept of “civic education as the soul, general education as the root, professional education as the foundation,” the strategy of integrating civic education from “point to surface (Wei, 2015), from history to the present, from inside to outside” is summarized, and a system of assessment, evaluation, and continuous improvement is established. It also establishes a system of assessment, evaluation, and continuous improvement. The strategy has proved to be effective in combining ideological and political education with moral education, enabling students to develop theoretical, institutional, and cultural confidence on the road to socialism with Chinese characteristics (Ministry of Education of the People’s Republic of China, 2004).

Perception of English Language Studies Students on the use of Open Educational Resources (OER) for Remote Learning

The COVID-19 pandemic has not only created such a massive impact on health but has also drastically transformed the global educational landscape, and with the World Health Organization (WHO) predicting the pandemic to last beyond 2021, Higher Education Institutions across the country resort to various pedagogical methodologies to ensure the continuous delivery of instruction amidst the pandemic, including the use of Open Educational Resources (OER). OER have been widely used in the Marinduque State College since the implementation of remote learning modality in the institution. Given that this is the first semester that these materials have been widely-used in the college, this study sought to determine the perceptions of students on OER being used for their major courses, particularly for English Language Studies (ELS). This mixed method study considered the 2nd year BA-ELS students as participants, and the necessary data was gathered through a Google Forms survey questionnaire. This paper also aimed to determine perceptions of the participants on the learning materials being used for their English Phonology and Morphology course in terms of content, organization & presentation, and accessibility. Results reveal that participants have a general positive perception with OER in terms of content and organization & presentation. However, participants seem to struggle with its accessibility, as the materials are published on platforms that require internet access.

It scientifically explains the operation laws and management methods of various organizations and provides methodological guidance for other disciplines. In the teaching process, integrate ideological and political elements with professional knowledge, help students establish cultural value orientation and social responsibility, cultivate students’ professional quality, dialectical thinking, communication ability, teamwork and innovation ability. This paper discusses the deployment of ideological and political education in the principles of management course from the aspects of the teaching status of management course, the significance of integrating ideological and political education, the training objectives of the course, the implementation methods and ways of the course, in order to provide corresponding guidance and reference for the implementation of ideological and political education in other professional courses.

Challenges in Teaching Literature in EMI to EFL Speaking Students at University Level: Instructors' Perception

The study's objective was to explore the achieved challenges in the applied pedagogy practices of the English literature majors that are delivered in the English Medium of Instruction (EMI) in the context of the English foreign language (EFL) students at various Lebanese Universities. Understanding the challenges instructors are experiencing through the implementation of the English literature course work is the central focus of the study. The study aimed to highlight the practiced delivery of the academic literature course framework in the EMI and the setbacks this was having on the university instructors attempting to successfully achieve the specified disciplinary objectives within the designated time frame and in students acquiring the course content in its entirety as is experienced when applied in the English language. The study highlights students' language proficiency needed to achieve the internationalized course contents objectives. Supplementary findings from the study's questionnaire reveal that university admission can not assume students have the required skills needed to study the academic literature course work upon registration. The data further suggests that students need to have an A-level proficiency in the English language academic to ensure the taught literature course content is received in its totality, par with other internationalized literature programs. Moreover, the study encourages the need to explore current global universities in non-Anglo countries to examine how they may have successfully reformed their major literature courses delivered in EMI to EFL students.

From molecular endpoints to modeling longer-term effects in fish embryos exposed to the elutriate from Doce River

Sediments represent a major sink and also a main source of contaminants to aquatic environments. An environmental disaster from a mining dam breakage in 2015 in South-East Brazil re-suspended complex mixtures of chemicals deposited in the sediment, spreading contaminants along the Doce River Basin (DRB) major river course. While high levels of contaminants in sediment were well described, toxicological effects in aquatic organisms were poorly investigated. Thus, the effects of these potentially toxic chemicals were assessed in the present study through different endpoints (biochemical to populational levels) in fish embryos of the South-American silver catfish exposed to elutriates from different sites of the DRB. Despite no significant mortality observed, our results showed that exposure to the elutriates, especially those from the closest site to the dam collapse, caused higher deformities rates and DNA damage in the fish embryos than in the control group. Multivariate analysis showed that these sublethal effects may be related to the high levels of metals introduced by mining activities, compromising long-term survival and reproduction success. In addition, it was possible to observe the influence of other sources of pollutants along the river. According to our data, the mathematical model simulated a significant impact on the population density at longer-term exposure, for the sites that showed the most prominent toxicity responses. The fish embryo toxicity test proved to be an effective assay to assess the ecotoxicological effects of the pollutants from a major river contaminated by a mining dam collapse and showed that the survival rate per se was not a suitable endpoint to assess the toxicity of the pollutants. As a consequence, we contributed to shed a light on a potential underestimated impact of pollutants in sediments of the DRB on the native organisms at distinct biological levels of organizations.

A STUDY ON THE IMPLEMENTATION PATH OF MORAL EDUCATION IN ENGLISH WRITING TEACHING

Moral education is the internal requirement of the teaching reform in colleges and universities. The core is to tap the ideological and political education resources of different disciplines and professional courses, and establish an organic, unied, full-disciplinary, all-round and full-function ideological and political education curriculum system; and judging from the inherent requirements of curriculum construction, curriculum is a carrier of ideological and political education, with a distinct education function and value orientation. English majors come into contact with western culture more in the learning process, and are susceptible to the inuence of Western culture and ideas. As the core curriculum of English majors, English writing mostly focuses on the teaching of English writing skills, and lacks guidance on students' thought. This article starts from the three aspects of writing theme selection, class discussion and writing evaluation. It explores and practices moral education for English majors in English writing course, and reects on the implementation of moral education teaching in major courses for English majors in order to make students better educated morally.

ON THE CHARACTERISTICS OF METICULOUS FLOWER AND BIRD PAINTING TEACHING FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF EMOTIONAL BEHAVIOR CHANGE -- TAKING THE INFLUENCE OF ZHOU YANSHENG'S FLOWER AND BIRD PAINTING TEACHING ON STUDENTS' EMOTION AS AN EXAMPLE

BackgroundMeticulous flower and bird painting is a basic course for art and technology majors in the Department of Chinese painting and art colleges. However, at present, the teaching of meticulous flower and bird painting is almost carried out in the order of copying, sketching and creation, and each teaching unit is often isolated. Through the study of Zhou Yansheng's painting characteristics and artistic style, it is found that the previous art research on Zhou Yansheng basically focused on his painting artistic style and brush art aesthetics, and there are few articles to deeply study and summarize the teaching characteristics of Zhou Yansheng's brush painting from the perspective of educational psychology. There is no adjustment of emotion in the process of painting.Topics and MethodsThis paper analyzes Zhou Yansheng's teaching style and teaching characteristics of flower and bird painting from the perspective of inheriting classics and pioneering innovation, and briefly expounds Zhou Yansheng's artistic view from the perspective of teaching psychology, so as to more objectively and comprehensively analyze the artistic characteristics of Zhou Yansheng's ink painting and its influence on the new development of ink painting teaching in modern colleges and universities. At the same time, in the process of painting, we studied the regulating effect of this painting style on group emotion. Using cluster sampling method, 522 freshmen to seniors (256 boys and 266 girls) from four colleges and universities in a province were selected as the research objects. There were 497 valid questionnaires, and the recovery rate was 95.2%. Among them, 138 freshmen (27.7%), 128 sophomores (25.7%), 137 Junior (27.6%) and 94 senior (18.9%). The mean age was 21.3 ± 0.87. Pearson correlation, standard deviation and statistical significance were used to illustrate the correlation. Independent sample t-test was used to verify the difference between high anxiety group and low anxiety group. According to the statistical value of anxiety, participants were divided into three groups: low, medium and high anxiety groups. The questionnaire includes two kinds of anxiety, namely debilitating anxiety and promoting anxiety. The relationship between anxiety and self-efficacy of students of different majors and genders was investigated by t-test, univariate, multivariate analysis of variance and regression analysis.ResultsZhou Yansheng is not only a modern flower and bird painting painter with personal artistic characteristics, but also a highly respected practical educator of flower and bird painting. He has accumulated a lot of valuable experience in 40 years of teaching. The author summarizes his teaching system of meticulous flower and bird painting. Characteristic innovation lies in the combination of teaching composition, modeling and color innovation, and runs through copying, sketching and creation. This systematic teaching mode breaks the gap between reproduction, sketch and independent creation, and finally does not cut off the innovative curriculum mode of all links, so that the works finally show the modern Chinese painting aesthetics of plane composition, color science and material science, and the picture is full of contemporary flavor.ConclusionIn practical sense, Zhou Yansheng's meticulous flower and bird painting has further developed and innovated on the basis of traditional teaching, enriched and developed the teaching of meticulous flower and bird painting to a certain extent, and has certain enlightenment significance and function for the innovation of diversified teaching styles of Contemporary Meticulous flower and bird painting.

Anesthetic management by combined spinal and epidural anesthesia for a case of ectopic bladder pheochromocytoma

Background: We report a safe anesthetic management of a patient with preoperatively diagnosed ectopic pheochromocytoma who underwent bladder tumor resection with combined spinal subarachnoid anesthesia and epidural anesthesia (CSEA). Case presentation: The patient was an 85-year-old male, 152 cm in height and weighing 65 kg. The patient was admitted to our hospital with a complaint of anemia. Ectopic pheochromocytoma was suspected because of the different shape of the tumor and increased rerum noradrenaline. Due to complications of interstitial pneumonia, we planned to perform CSEA for this case. When surgical manipulation was applied to the bladder, a sudden increase in blood pressure above systolic pressure of 200mmHg was observed, and nicardipine 1 mg was administered. Afterwards, the surgery was completed without any major circulatory changes and postoperative course was uneventful. Conclusion: In patients with appropriate preoperative diagnosis and blood pressure control, spinal anesthesia or CSEA may be an alternative for ectopic pheochromocytoma in the bladder.

The results of this study can be used as basic data to applying synchronous online discussion of College Students.

Reform and Practice of Ideological and Political Teaching in Basic Courses of Energy and Power Majors:Taking Engineering Fluid Mechanics as an Example

In order to achieve the fundamental task of moral education, the National Conference on Ideological and Political Work in Colleges and Universities clearly pointed out that ideological and political work such as the cultivation and practice of social core values should be integrated into the whole process of teaching and education, so as to achieve all staff, whole process and all-round education. As teachers of professional basic courses in higher education schools, it is particularly important to explore new ideological and political models for professional basic courses. Professional courses are the highlight of student training, and an important position for ideological and political courses. It is a key of college education to reasonably excavate ideological and political elements in professional courses and organically integrate them into each link of professional course teaching, guide students to set up correct ideas and promote the all-round development of students' morality and intelligence. In this context, this paper fully investigates the current situation of ideological and political development and practice in different courses in China, and summarizes the existing problems and future practical directions of ideological and political construction in colleges and universities. Taking the "Engineering Fluid Mechanics" course of the School of Energy Science and Engineering in Harbin Institute of Technology as an example, the course ideological and political teaching reform and practical exploration were carried out, and the ideological and political education resources related to "Engineering Fluid Mechanics" were deeply explored, and a specific implementation plan was formulated. Give full play to the function of professional courses to build morality and cultivate people, teaching effect test and summary were made, which show good results. The above teaching research can provide experience and guidance for the ideological and political reform and practice of professional basic courses for energy and power majors.

Construction of Digital Teaching Resources of British and American Literature Using Few-Shot Learning and Cloud Computing.

British and American literature is a compulsory course for English majors in Chinese colleges and universities. It plays an important role in cultivating students' aesthetic consciousness and moral cultivation, improving students' humanistic quality and cultural taste, and shaping students' complete personalities. With the rapid development of cloud technology and mobile Internet technology, mobile learning based on mobile devices will become an important direction of mobile Internet technology applications. Based on cloud computing, this paper studies the construction of digital teaching resources of the British and American literature. Through the experiment on the learning simplicity of literature courses for English majors, it is found that during the learning period of 40 people, the average proportion of the most difficult is 16.3%, the average proportion of the second difficult is 35.2%, and the average proportion of the easier is 18.5%. Compared with the next difficulty, the proportion of difficulty is the highest, followed by the easy and finally the most difficult. As one of the core technologies of cloud computing, data split storage technology adopts measures such as isomorphism and interchangeability of computing nodes, redundant storage, and multicopy fault tolerance to ensure the high security and reliability of user data and users do not have to worry about data loss and virus invasion. As a new generation of technical means, cloud computing can realize the unified management and scheduling of distributed and heterogeneous resources and provide a new development direction for promoting the coconstruction and sharing of the British and American literature digital teaching platforms in higher vocational colleges and truly realizing national learning and lifelong learning.

Students’ sense of belonging in introductory physics course for bioscience majors predicts their grade

Student sense of belonging in physics classes may not only play a key role in shaping course outcomes but also influence student persistence and future career aspirations. Prior research has shown that women have a lower sense of belonging than men in calculus-based introductory physics courses. However, prior research has generally not investigated students’ sense of belonging in introductory physics courses in which women are not underrepresented. We administered a validated survey to investigate the sense of belonging of 814 students and how it predicts student grades in a mandatory introductory physics course primarily for bioscience majors. In particular, we investigated how students’ sense of belonging predicts female and male students’ grade at the end of the mandatory physics course for bioscience majors using structural equation modeling. We found that women had a lower sense of belonging and grade than men in this course and that the students’ sense of belonging played a major role in predicting students’ grade in the course. In addition, while men’s sense of belonging significantly increased from the beginning to the end of the physics course, women’s sense of belonging did not significantly change by the end of the course.Received 11 October 2021Accepted 16 March 2022DOI:https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevPhysEducRes.18.010139Published by the American Physical Society under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license.

Not feeling recognized as a physics person by instructors and teaching assistants is correlated with female students’ lower grades

Student motivational beliefs in introductory physics courses can influence their course outcomes as well as their retention in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics disciplines and future career aspirations. Prior research has shown that students’ perceived recognition by others as a physics person is important in predicting their physics identity and career choices. This study used validated survey data from 827 students in the first of two college algebra-based introductory physics courses primarily taken by bioscience majors, in which women make up approximately 67% of the class. We investigated how the students’ perceived recognition by instructors and teaching assistants (TAs) as a physics person predicts their grade at the end of a mandatory physics course for bioscience majors in which women are not outnumbered by men. We found that overall women had lower perceived recognition than men as a physics person and their perceived recognition played an important role in predicting course grades controlling for high school GPA and math SAT scores. Since physics as a discipline presents a barrier to women due to deep-rooted societal stereotypes and biases about who can excel in it, the numerical representation of women alone in these courses does not imply that they will feel recognized by their instructors and TAs as a physics person without an intentional effort to make the learning environment equitable and inclusive. These findings suggest that physics instructors and TAs should focus on changing the culture in their physics classes and create an equitable and inclusive learning environment in which students from traditionally marginalized demographic groups, e.g., women, feel recognized, and can excel.Received 2 November 2021Accepted 22 March 2022DOI:https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevPhysEducRes.18.010138Published by the American Physical Society under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license.

Why Should that Convince Me?: Teaching Toulmin Analysis Across the Curriculum

Experienced provers employ a host of skills when assessing the validity of a justification, often without names for those skills. This paper offers an introduction to a lens called Toulmin analysis that can help make sense of this process. Then this paper describes both an in-class module to help students learn to apply Toulmin analysis and multiple ways this module can be integrated into courses for mathematics majors and non-majors. Toulmin analysis has helped us bring human dimensions of proving to the surface in our classrooms, and it helps us build stronger and more inclusive entryways for students into mathematical communities. Learning about Toulmin analysis helps our students connect mathematical reasoning to other thinking, supporting transfer in both directions, and it has changed our thinking about the teaching and learning of mathematics even in contexts where we do not devote class time to this model overtly.
