A teaching experiment lasting one semester is conducted on two groups of students: one receiving feedback and the other not, serving as the experimental and control groups. Results: (1) Feedback has a positive impact on college students' self-regulated learning level; (2) Feedback does not have a significant impact on college students' academic performance in the short term. Conclusion: This study investigates three aspects of model construction, feedback design, and empirical evidence to provide feedback based on learners' self-regulated learning processes in online learning environments to improve college students' self-regulated learning.

Data analysis and modeling study of the relationship between physical activity and sleep disorder intervention for college students

Abstract Accompanied by the increasing prevalence of sleep disorders among students in colleges and universities, there is an urgent need for colleges and universities to provide a scientific basis and practical guidance for exercise intervention for sleep disorders among students. In this paper, in order to study the relationship between physical exercise and sleep disorder intervention, after analyzing the etiology and pathology of sleep disorders, we first surveyed students of a university in Guangzhou to analyze the differential characteristics of students’ sleep quality under different statistical variables. Then, a logistic linear regression model was established to analyze the influencing factors of college students’ sleep quality by taking the variables with statistically significant results in the one-way analysis as independent variables and college students’ sleep quality as dependent variables. Finally, college students with more serious sleep disorders in the university were subjected to a semester of walking, running, and soccer physical exercise to analyze the role of physical activity in influencing the intervention of sleep disorders in students. It was found that the PSQI scores of the walking group, running group, and soccer group before and after one semester of walking exercise decreased by 2.29, 3.16, and 3.18 points, respectively, and the scores of the rest of the items decreased to different degrees, which reflected the good effect of the physical exercise intervention on the intervention of sleep disorders. Explore the effects of physical exercise intervention on the quality of sleep among college students and provide practical suggestions for improving college students’ sleep quality through exercise.

As global competition intensifies, the pace of technological innovation rapidly accelerates, and demand for new markets increases, standards are emerging as a key tool not only in the national economy and industry, but also in corporate management. Particularly, as the 4th Industrial Revolution, where convergence is a keyword, becomes a hot topic, the importance of standards is being further emphasized. Standards are work for companies, countries, and local communities based on the integrated results of science, technology, and experience. Since the end users of standards are general consumers, general consumers' awareness of the standards is important.
 Recognizing the importance of standards, the world's major advanced countries have been working to cultivate manpower to respond, and the government of the Republic of Korea also recognized the importance of the role of standards in the national economy and has been working to foster standards experts. Especially, it has been revealed that the university standardization course, which began in 2004 with the purpose of cultivating standard manpower required by the industry, has contributed greatly to improving college students' awareness of standards.
 Accordingly, in this study, Survey on students at a university in Seoul where standardization courses are being offered was done regarding their awareness of standards and their importance, and their level of standards knowledge. According to the analysis results, college students' awareness of standards and their importance, and the level of standards knowledge appear to be somewhat high. In particular, standard knowledge was shown to be very high with an average score of 8.7 points, and these results showed that the difference was significant depending on whether or not students took standards class. That is, it can be judged that the standards class had a positive effect on these results. However, compared to the awareness of standards and their importance and the level of standards knowledge, the degree of use of standards was found to be somewhat low. Therefore, it is necessary to add contents and activities for utilizing standards in future standards class.

Analysis of the Path of Improving English Listening and Speaking Ability Based on Big Data Technology

Abstract The training of college students’ English listening and speaking skills needs to be individualized scientifically and strategically in order to get a qualitative improvement. In this paper, we first analyze the correlation between students’ listening and speaking skill levels by using the improved maximum information coefficient (MIC) with the aid of an online platform. The students’ listening ability is assessed by the plain Bayesian algorithm, trained by the neural network to reduce the error, and the similarity between the feature vector and each pattern is calculated so that the element that obtains the highest value is used as the candidate mapping. Next, the schema mapping of data distribution (SMDD) method is combined to obtain the best matching schema. Finally, the effectiveness of English listening and speaking training with the Smart Teaching Platform was investigated through controlled experiments. The results show that in the post-test speech scores, the experimental group’s increase in speech scores was 2.322, while the control group’s increase was only 0.652. The effectiveness of the English listening and speaking ability training strategy is evident due to the obvious difference. This study proposes rational suggestions for improving college students’ English listening and speaking abilities.

A Structural Equation Model of Factors Influencing Satisfaction of University Students in Myanmar

Satisfaction among university students derives from a variety of factors. It is indicated by the literature that personal, instructional, university, social, and outcome-related factors collectively contribute to the satisfaction of university students within the context of higher education. The purpose of this research was to develop and confirm the validity of the factors influencing student satisfaction of university students. A total of 1814 university students (644 males and 1094 females) from eleven universities in Myanmar participated in this study in February 2020. Various validated instruments, including established standardized measures and self-developed instruments, were employed for assessing both student satisfaction and its underlying factors. The structural equation modeling approach was done to confirm the validity of the model on factors influencing student satisfaction of university students. SEM results confirmed that instructional factors, social factors and outcome-related factors had direct effect on student satisfaction but personal factors and university factors had only indirect effect through social factors. Totally, 64.5 % of the variance in student satisfaction can be explained by the structural equation model. This study provided a research insight on the relationship of factors influencing student satisfaction and important implications for stakeholders to develop intervention plans and ways to improve university students’ satisfaction.

Research on Entrepreneurial Intention of College Students Under the Background of Platform Economy

The paper reviews the influence of platform economy on the entrepreneurial intention of college students in recent years, and summarizes the factors and mechanisms that affect the entrepreneurial intention of college students under the background of platform economy. Based on the technology acceptance model and the theory of planned behavior, many studies suggest that perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, entrepreneurial attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavior control may affect college students' entrepreneurial intention. To encourage college students to participate in platform economy entrepreneurship, educators and policymakers need to pay attention to improving college students' perception of the ease and usefulness of starting a business using digital platforms, cultivating their positive entrepreneurial attitudes, and improving their perceived behavioral control. This may be achieved by providing entrepreneurship education and training, as well as creating an environment that encourages self-drive and self-control.

Effect of Imagery Training on College Students’ Basketball Shooting Accuracy

Background and Aim: The difficulty in basketball shooting predominantly arises from a lack of adequate physical abilities, incomplete skill development, and a shortage of appropriate training. The objective of this research was to integrate meditation training and imagery training into the shooting training of the college men's basketball team at Xi'an Aviation College. Materials and Methods: In this research, the questionnaire survey method and experimental method were used. Three experts were invited to rate the shooting performance of 40 of China’s college basketball players, divided into 20 each in the experimental and control groups. In the experiment, the students' imaginative ability, self-confidence in shooting status, and scores of shooting performance were tested in the 1st, 4th, and 8th weeks, respectively, and then the results were compared and analyzed by T-test. Results: After 8 weeks of training, the technical movements and shooting hit rate of the experimental group were significantly higher than that of the control group; the performance of the experimental group and the control group both improved after the experiment, but the experimental group had a significant increase in shooting performance, imagination ability, and shooting status self-confidence, while the control group only had a significant increase in the total score of shooting performance. Conclusion: College students' shooting scores are affected by a variety of factors, and each student's learning needs and strengths are different, so the teaching program needs to be flexibly adapted to suit the needs of different students. These results showed that the integration of meditation training and imagery training can significantly improve college students' shooting performance more than traditional shooting training, as well as improve students' imagery ability and shooting self-confidence, which in turn improves the quality of shooting training.
