Evaluating simulated teaching audio for teacher trainees using RAG and local LLMs

In the training of teacher students, simulated teaching is a key method for enhancing teaching skills. However, traditional evaluations of simulated teaching typically rely on direct teacher involvement and guidance, increasing teachers’ workload and limiting the opportunities for teacher students to practice independently. This paper introduces a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) framework constructed using various open-source tools (such as FastChat for model inference and Whisper for speech-to-text) combined with a local large language model (LLM) for audio analysis of simulated teaching. We then selected three leading 7B-parameter open-source Chinese LLMs from the ModelScope community to analyze their generalizability and adaptability in simulated teaching voice evaluation tasks. The results show that the internlm2 model more effectively analyzes teacher students’ teaching audio, providing key educational feedback. Finally, we conducted a system analysis of the simulated teaching of 10 participants in a teaching ability competition and invited three experts to score manually, verifying the system’s application potential. This research demonstrates a potential approach to improving educational evaluation methods using advanced language technology.

The Application of Hybrid Instruction Mode in the Course of Geographic Information System Principles

Abstract. Geographic Information System Principles is one of the professional core courses for the students majoring in Geographic Information Science. It plays an important role in providing a theoretical foundation and technical support for subsequent professional courses. The course is offered in the second semester of the freshman year and is the first professional core course for students. There are four key issues that need to be addressed. Firstly, the main content of this course is extensive and the difficulty level is relatively high. Secondly,theory and software operation are disconnected in traditional classes. Thirdly, the traditional teaching mode can not well stimulate students' interest. Fourthly, the traditional teaching and learning evaluation method focuses on results but not process. Hence, we rely on the online teaching platform of our school to carry out Hybrid Instruction Mode, hoping to improve students' learning effect and improve teaching quality. Based on the outcome-based education (OBE) concept, we refine the teaching objectives, and subsequently enhance the teaching materials. Then, we have built a blended teaching mode. The whole teaching process is divided into four parts including "course guidance", "pre-class self-study", "in-class practice", and "post-class research". Online and offline teaching are connected with various activities. Discussions, exercises, reflections, assessments, critical thinking, paper reading and homework are online activities. Guidance, analysis and practice are offline activities. During the teaching process, we also reformed teaching method and carried out ecological civilization and scientific spirit education.We optimized the assessment method using the formative evaluation. The course objectives are almost achieved.

Improving YOLOv7 for Large Target Classroom Behavior Recognition of Teachers in Smart Classroom Scenarios

Deep learning technology has recently become increasingly prevalent in the field of education due to the rapid growth of artificial intelligence. Teachers’ teaching behavior is a crucial component of classroom teaching activities, and identifying and examining teachers’ classroom teaching behavior is an important way to assess teaching. However, the traditional teaching evaluation method involves evaluating by either listening to the class on-site or playing back the teaching video afterward, which is a time-consuming and inefficient manual method. Therefore, this paper obtained teaching behavior data from a real smart classroom scenario and observed and analyzed the teacher behavior characteristics in this scenario. Aiming at the problems of complex classroom environments and the high similarity between teaching behavior classes, a method to improve YOLOv7 for large target classroom behavior recognition in smart classroom scenarios is proposed. First, we constructed the Teacher Classroom Behavior Data Set (TCBDS), which contains 6660 images covering six types of teaching behaviors: facing the board (to_blackboard, tb), facing the students (to_student, ts), writing on the board (writing, w), teaching while facing the board (black_teach, bt), teaching while facing the students (student_teach, st), and interactive (interact, i). This research adds a large target detection layer to the backbone network so that teachers’ instructional behaviors can be efficiently identified in complex classroom circumstances. Second, the original model’s backbone was extended with an effective multiscale attention module (EMA) to construct cross-scale feature dependencies under various branches. Finally, the bounding box loss function of the original model was replaced with MPDIoU, and a bounding box scaling factor was introduced to propose the Inner_MPDIoU loss function. Experiments were conducted using the TCBDS dataset. The method proposed in this study achieved mAP@.50, mAP@.50:.95, and recall values of 96.2%, 82.5%, and 92.9%, respectively—improvements of 1.1%, 2.0%, and 2.3% over the original model. This method outperformed other mainstream models compared to the current state of the art. The experimental results demonstrate the method’s excellent performance, its ability to identify various classroom behaviors of teachers in realistic scenarios, and its potential to facilitate the analysis and visualization of teacher classroom behaviors.

Cultural capital as a predictor of school success: evidence and gender differences in Chinese middle schools

Cultural capital is vital for equitable educational development. This paper studies the effect of family cultural capital on the performance of middle school students with regard to gender, using a multiple linear regression model. Participants from four representative middle schools, totalling 1036 students, were selected during the online learning period. The study found that institutionalised and objectified cultural capital had a pronounced positive effect on students’ school outcomes, but cultural capital that was embodied had both positive and negative effects. Significant differences in the effects of cultural capital on school success were found between male and female students. The educational level of a mother has a significant impact on the school attainment of female students in Chinese, English, math and overall achievement, whereas a father’s education level has a significant effect on male students’ English achievement and overall achievement. The results of the study showed that cultural capital contributed to the academic success of middle school students in different ways. The results presented above contribute to a better comprehension of the mechanisms of the influence of cultural capital on the school performance of middle school students, which has important implications for students’ educational equity. This study recommends improving the mechanism of collaborative education among schools, families and society, by paying attention to vulnerable groups that lack cultural capital, improving the methods of educational evaluation and providing tailor-made education for all types of students.
