The Role of Teachers’ Infiltration of Multicultural Education and Social-Emotional Learning in Classroom Teaching on Students’ Development

In the context of sustainable development, the lack of multiculturalism and social-emotional guidance in Chinese education hinders the comprehensive development of contemporary students. The purpose of this study is to analyse the impact of classroom infiltration of multicultural education and social-emotional learning on student development from the perspective of promoting comprehensive development of students. Therefore, through the research of multicultural education and social–emotional learning, an educational model of student development is constructed. The characteristics of students’ development are analysed based on micro-theories, which are then combined with the actual teaching in the classroom. This analysis considers whether multicultural education, social–emotional learning, and students’ emotional management, teacher–student relationships and social–emotional beliefs played an intermediary role. The results demonstrated the following. (1) There was a significant positive correlation between teachers’ social and cultural emotional experience and teaching management. (2) Teaching management was positively correlated with social–emotional beliefs, teacher–student relationships and emotional management. (3) There was a clear positive correlation between life and emotional management. At the same time, there was a significant improvement in indicators such as social-emotional beliefs, emotional management abilities, learning outcomes and learning attitudes among students before and after teaching. The results indicate a positive relationship between the infiltration of multicultural education and social–emotional education in classroom teaching and the overall quality of students, as evidenced by an increase in student teaching evaluation scores. In addition, from the perspective of knowledge management, multicultural education and social–emotional teaching enhances the acquisition and sharing of knowledge, and strengthen students’ integration and updating of knowledge. The research on classroom infiltration through multicultural education and social–emotional learning not only promotes students’ comprehensive development but also enhances knowledge acquisition and sharing from the perspective of knowledge management, strengthens students’ integration and updating of knowledge, is conducive to the accumulation of students’ knowledge wealth and the improvement of their personal abilities, and weights the sustainable development of student education.

The Effect of Psychological Capital, Digital Literacy, and Knowledge Management on Teacher Instructional Quality through Teaching Creativity

Teachers' instructional quality is essential for student, teacher, and school performance. In practice, it needs to overcome various learning problems, such as when learning output experiences a decline or when implementing a new curriculum requires instructional adjustments. Therefore, this research explores teacher instructional quality from psychological capital (PsyCap), digital literacy, and knowledge management perspective with teaching creativity mediation. As part of a quantitative method and survey procedure, 475 junior and high school teachers in Indonesia were given Likert scale questionnaires for this study. The data was analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM). The results indicated that instructional quality is influenced by PsyCap, digital literacy, and knowledge management, both directly and indirectly, through the promotion of creativity. This discovery affirms that a novel empirical model concerning PsyCap, digital literacy, and knowledge management affects instructional quality via teaching creativity. Before being adopted or modified to enhance teacher instructional quality, the model offers practical implications and theoretical contributions that call for critical and in-depth discussion.

93 PTIMIZATION OF EARLY DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT PATH OF SCHIZOPHRENIA IN COLLEGE STUDENTS FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT

Abstract Background Schizophrenia is a serious mental disorder, and its early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to improving patient outcomes. Due to their special psychological development stage and learning pressure, college students have become the focus of the early identification and intervention of schizophrenia. Early symptoms of schizophrenia may include cognitive decline, social withdrawal, and impaired daily functioning, which may be overlooked or misunderstood among college students. From the perspective of knowledge management, we explore the early diagnosis and treatment path optimization of schizophrenia in college students to improve the diagnostic accuracy and effectiveness of treatment, reduce diagnosis delay, and improve the long-term prognosis of patients. Methods The study combines case study and data analysis. First, the knowledge framework for the early diagnosis of schizophrenia in college students was constructed through a systematic literature review. Second, three university mental health centers were selected as research subjects to collect data on schizophrenia cases in the past five years, including patient diagnostic records, treatment procedures, and efficacy assessment. Descriptive statistics and correlation analysis of the data using statistical software to identify key factors affecting early diagnosis and treatment. Results An analysis of 150 cases with schizophrenia has yielded some key findings. Descriptive statistics showed that the mean diagnosis delay in these patients was 6.5 months. Further correlation analysis revealed lack of psychiatric knowledge and social support as the main factors of diagnostic delay, with a correlation coefficient of 0.75 (P<0.01) and social support of 0.68 (P<0.01). In terms of treatment effectiveness, comparing the symptom severity scale scores before and after treatment, the study found that personalized treatment regimen and multidisciplinary teamwork had a significant impact on improving treatment effectiveness, with correlation coefficients of 0.82 (P<0.01) and 0.79 (P<0.01), respectively. Moreover, after the implementation of knowledge management strategies, including early screening, multidisciplinary teamwork, personalized treatment regimen, and continuous follow-up evaluation, the mean recurrence rate decreased significantly from 35% to 15% (χ²=12.34, P<0.01), and treatment satisfaction also increased from 65% to 85% (χ²=9.56, P<0.01). These results suggest that treatment outcomes and quality of life in patients with schizophrenia can be effectively improved by optimizing knowledge management strategies. Discussion Based on the perspective of knowledge management, the research deeply discusses the optimization of the early diagnosis and treatment path of schizophrenia in college students. The study found that early recognition of schizophrenia was significantly improved by improving mental health recognition and social support, with the average diagnosis delay shortened from 6.5 months. Moreover, personalized treatment options and multidisciplinary teamwork significantly improved the treatment efficacy, with correlation coefficients of 0.82 and 0.79, respectively, indicating that these factors have a significant positive impact on efficacy. After the implementation of the knowledge management strategy, the patient recurrence rate decreased from 35% to 15% and the treatment satisfaction increased from 65% to 85%, and these data strongly support the effectiveness of the optimization strategy. Future studies should further validate the universality and applicability of these strategies in different cultural and educational settings, with a view to promoting early diagnosis and treatment of schizophrenia globally, thereby improving long-term outcomes and quality of life of patients.

14 ANALYSIS OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF DIGITAL EMOTION RECOGNITION DISPLAY DESIGN IN EARLY INTERVENTION FOR SCHIZOPHRENIA

Abstract Background Schizophrenia is a chronic and severe mental disorder characterized by disorders of thinking, hallucinations, delusions, and emotional and social dysfunction. Due to their unique psychological development stage and social environment, college students are of special importance for the early identification and intervention of schizophrenia. Early diagnosis and treatment of schizophrenia is essential to improve prognosis, reduce disability, and improve quality of life. However, due to the complexity and heterogeneity of schizophrenia, early diagnosis and treatment pathway selection face many challenges. Knowledge management, as a systematic approach, is able to integrate and optimize information, knowledge, and skills to provide support for the early diagnosis and treatment of schizophrenia. Study aims to explore how to through the perspective of knowledge management, combined with clinical symptoms, drug response, cognitive health and mental related factors, optimize the early diagnosis of schizophrenia and treatment path, and explore the special group of schizophrenia patients’ health care utilization and cost benefit, in order to provide more accurate and more effective mental health services for college students. Methods Using the case-control study method, 300 college students who met the diagnostic criteria for schizophrenia and 150 healthy college students were selected as the control group. By using neuroimaging techniques such as Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) and Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST), the cognitive and social functions of two groups of students were evaluated. Meanwhile, the visual scanning path pattern analysis technique was used to examine the patient’s ability to process facial emotion perception. After data collection, multiple linear regression analysis was used to explore the relationship between cognitive function, social function, and facial emotion perception and the severity of schizophrenia symptoms. Results The results showed that the schizophrenia patient group performed significantly less in cognitive function tests and social function assessment than the control group (P<0.01). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that cognitive function (β=0.65, P<0.001) and social function (β=0.52, P<0.001) were significant predictors of symptom severity in schizophrenia. In addition, there was a significant correlation between facial emotion perceptual processing ability and symptom severity (β=0.48, P<0.01). In terms of treatment pathway optimization, patient treatment adherence and quality of life can be significantly improved through knowledge management strategies such as patient education, family support and integration of community resources (P<0.05). Discussion The results reveal the key role of cognitive function, social function and facial emotional perception in the early recognition and intervention of schizophrenia. These dimensions not only serve as important indicators for early diagnosis of schizophrenia but also show their importance in assessing patient symptom severity. Impairments of cognitive and social functioning, and a decline in facial emotion perceptual processing, together constitute the biological and behavioral markers of early recognition in schizophrenia. Through the application of knowledge management strategies, such as patient education, family support, and integration of community resources, one can optimize treatment paths for patients with schizophrenia and improve treatment outcomes. Meanwhile, through the application of knowledge management strategies, the significant improvement of symptom severity score and quality of life scale scores after receiving comprehensive treatment, further confirmed the effectiveness of these strategies in improving the treatment effect and patient quality of life.

How entrepreneurial orientation influences innovation performance? The effect of knowledge coupling

PurposeDigital technologies have transformed business management practices and adapted them to shorter product lifecycles. As a result, firms are shifting their approach to building new competitive advantage from cost-oriented to entrepreneurial orientation (EO). This study aims to analyze the innovation performance (IP) in the context of EO from a knowledge management perspective. It constructs the functional path of the relationships among EO, knowledge coupling (KC) and IP of Chinese manufacturing firms to achieve business success.Design/methodology/approachUsing data from 157 listed Chinese manufacturing firms from 2012 to 2021, the authors construct a panel data model to test the effect of EO on IP. This study classifies KC into existing knowledge coupling (EKC) and new and existing knowledge coupling (NKC) and analyzes their mediating effects in the above relationships.FindingsThis study finds that EO has an insignificant, inverted U-shaped relationship with IP. Both EKC and NKC have a significant, inverted U-shaped relationship with IP; in other words, if EKC and NKC increase, the IP of Chinese manufacturing firms first increases and then decreases, and EKC and NKC have a complete mediating effect on the relationship between EO and IP.Originality/valueThis study provides an in-depth analysis of IP from an EO perspective. The study’s findings enrich and extend the theoretical relationship between EO and IP. The authors also propose a knowledge management perspective for entrepreneurship research. These findings improve the current understanding of the role and function of KC in EO.

Key organisational barriers to effective knowledge risk management in South African public sector enterprises

Purpose: The aim of this study was to delve into the obstacles preventing the effective management of tacit knowledge risks in South African public sector enterprises (PSEs) from the perspectives of human resource management (HRM) and knowledge management (KM).A perusal of the literature reveals that most South African PSEs are grappling with significant challenges related to potential tacit knowledge loss risks.Design/methodology/approach: The research utilised a mixed methods exploratory sequential design, collecting qualitative data through interviews with 20 HR managers in 9 PSEs and survey data from 585 questionnaires. The reliability of the data was tested, and thematic analysis was performed using Atlas.ti software.Findings: The study identified key barriers to effective tacit knowledge loss risk management in PSEs, including a silo mentality, organisational red-tape, knowledge as a power source, lack of recognition and rewards, KM awareness, cultures and structures, employment equity, fixed-term contracts, competing priorities for leadership, knowledge hoarding, HRM practices, and inadequate KM technologies and systems. These pressing issues need to be addressed to improve knowledge risk management (KRM) efforts in PSEs.Research limitations/implications:The exploration of organisational barriers was only limited to the tacit knowledge loss risks category, induced by human resource turnover in country-specific PSEs. Future studies could explore the organisational barriers and factors affecting other types of knowledge risks in PSEs or similar knowledge-intensive business enterprises across the globe using different samples and populations. Other similar studies could include strategic sectors of the economy such as energy generation, civil aviation, defence, mining and rail. The study contributes to the knowledge-based view and knowledge stickiness theories, and proposes an interdisciplinarity approach using mixed methods for future research on tacit knowledge loss.Practical implications: The research findings conclusively indicate that PSEs face the aforementioned barriers that hinder the effective implementation of the KRM system. This study identifies that key organisational barriers were mainly due to a lack of knowledge-driven HRM strategies in KM. To address these barriers, HR managers and other stakeholders must collaborate to ensure effective knowledge management and mitigate the negative impact of knowledge loss risks on organisational performance.Social Implications: The study highlights the importance of removing key barriers for improved KRM in PSEs. The improved KRM can enhance public service delivery efficiency, transparency and the accountability of PSEs by addressing socio-economic developmental issues in developing economies.Originality/value: Using South African PSEs as a case to address this challenge, the paper sought to explore key organisational barriers to effective knowledge loss risk management in organisations with a view to shaping discourse, policies, research, theories and practices in KM and HRM. Organisational barriers affecting the management of such risks remain unexplored in the extant body of knowledge and practice.

Construction of Intelligent Question-Answering System to Improve Knowledge Management Service from the Perspective of Education Informatization

With the continuous reform of education informatization, modern information technology gradually became a key technology in education. An intelligent question-answering system was constructed in this research for knowledge management services. It included an entity recognition model based on bidirectional long short-term memory attention conditional random field and a question classification model based on a bidirectional encoder using Transformers text convolutional neural network. The entity recognition model added a reverse long short-term memory propagation structure, while introducing an attention mechanism and conditional random field model. The question classification model utilized a preprocessed structure to output a feature matrix with richer semantic information, while utilizing a bidirectional encoder to extract local features of short text sentences. These experiments confirmed that the constructed model had a high precision of 0.945, which was much higher than other models. The recall of this proposed model was 0.077 higher than the control models. For precision, the proposed model had good recognition performance for methods, files and modules, with values of 0.9040, 0.9050 and 0.9160, respectively. For the recall, the question classification model had the best recognition effect on files, at 0.9060. For the [Formula: see text]1-score, the proposed model had the best recognition performance for modules, at 0.9100. The named entity recognition model constructed had high accuracy and [Formula: see text]1-score, reaching 0.931 and 0.923, indicating that it had the best classification performance in the dataset. Through intelligent question-answering systems, automatic answering of questions can be achieved, effectively improving knowledge services. This research has integrated knowledge and technology from multiple disciplines such as computer science, artificial intelligence, and natural language processing to promote the cross-integration of these disciplines in knowledge management. This interdisciplinary method not only broadens the research perspective of knowledge management but also provides new ideas and methods for the development of related fields.

Impact of entrepreneurship on technological innovation in the digital age: a knowledge management perspective

PurposeThis study aims to use the knowledge management perspective to examine the mechanism through which entrepreneurship drives firms’ technological innovation in the digital age. The objective is to develop a multi-stage integrated theoretical model to explain how entrepreneurship exerts its influence on firms’ technological innovation with a particular focus on the knowledge management perspective. The findings can be used for the cultivation of entrepreneurship and for the promotion of continuous technological innovation activities.Design/methodology/approachThis study uses a case-based qualitative approach to examine the relationship between entrepreneurship and technological innovation. The authors first analyze the case of SANY and then explore the mechanism of how entrepreneurship can promote a firm’s technological innovation from the perspective of knowledge management based on the technology-organization-environment framework. An integrated theoretical model is then developed in this study.FindingsBased on a case study, the authors propose that there are three main processes of knowledge management in firms’ technological innovation: knowledge acquisition, knowledge integration and knowledge creation. In the process of knowledge acquisition, the joint effects of innovation spirit, learning spirit, cooperation spirit and global vision drive the construction and its healthy development of firms’ innovation ecosystem. In the process of knowledge integration, the joint effects of innovation spirit, cooperation spirit and learning spirit help complete the integration of knowledge and further the accumulation of firms’ core knowledge resources. In the process of knowledge creation, the joint effects of mission spirit, learning spirit and innovation spirit encourage the top management team to establish long-term goals and innovation philosophy. This philosophy can promote the establishment of a people-oriented incentive mechanism that helps achieve the transformation from the accumulation of core knowledge resources to the research and innovation of core technologies. After these three stages, firms are passively engaged in the “reverse transfer of knowledge” step, which contributes to other firms’ knowledge management cycle. With active knowledge acquisition, integration, creation and passive reverse knowledge transfer, firms can achieve continuous technological innovation.Research limitations/implicationsThis study has important theoretical implications in entrepreneurship research. This study helps advance the understanding of entrepreneurship and literature on the relationship between entrepreneurship and technological innovation in the digital age, which can broaden the application of knowledge management theories. It can also help better understand how to develop healthy firm-led innovation ecosystems to achieve continuous optimization of knowledge and technological innovation in the digital age.Originality/valueThis study proposes an integrated theoretical model to address the issues of entrepreneurship and firms’ technological innovation in the digital age, and it is also one of few studies that focuses on entrepreneurship and innovation from a knowledge management perspective.

How to Stimulate Continuous Innovative Knowledge Contribution? Mediation by Self-Efficacy and Moderation by Knowledge Level.

Taking the perspective of innovative knowledge management, this study aimed to investigate the stimulation mechanism of continuous innovative knowledge contribution (CIKC). Through a quantitative study conducted in an open innovation community, we modeled a stimulus-organism-response framework to conduct a path analysis from the external environment to internal cognition, and then to knowledge contribution, and filled in the gaps in the mediating and moderating mechanisms. We focused on the stimuli of knowledge contribution, in view of both quantity and quality. Panel data from six periods in one year was collected for dynamic analysis, and we used the fixed effect model to test our hypotheses of mediation effect, moderation effect, and mediated-moderation effect. There were some interesting findings, showing that user's self-efficacy plays a partial mediating role in the quantity, rather than the quality, of CIKC; meanwhile, the users' knowledge level plays a moderating role, and there is a negative moderating mechanism of knowledge level in the process from participation value to the quality of CIKC.

Spiral Forward: A Knowledge Management Perspective of Chinese Post-merger Autonomy Integration

Chinese multinational enterprises (CMNEs) are increasingly initiating risky mergers and acquisitions (M&As) in developed markets to obtain strategic assets, which necessitates long-term integration that often takes years. Drawing on knowledge management literature, this study explores CMNEs’ dynamic post-merger integration (PMI) changes, the role of knowledge, and coevolutionary relationships. Based on 41 conversations concerning five Chinese acquisitions in Germany, this study develops a spiral-forward framework, determining that CMNEs’ PMI changes proceed through three phases of access, adjustment, and growth, moving from autonomy to systemic integration to business integration in a forward spiral with evolving knowledge needs. The efficiency of previous integration and knowledge needs has an influence in the following periods’ degree of integration via balanced integration, over-integration, or delayed integration. This study stresses the crucial role of knowledge types and knowledge processes in CMNEs’ PMI changes, offering a valuable framework for understanding CMNEs’ PMI dynamics and the role of knowledge management.
