Research on the Cultivation of Primary School Chinese Core Literacy from the Perspective of Information Technology Media

In 2024, Huai Jinpeng, secretary of the Party Group and Minister of the Ministry of Education, pointed out in his speech at the National Education Conference that we should "strengthen the reform and innovation of education and teaching, and constantly explore and practice new teaching methods and means". Nowadays, cultivating primary school students' Chinese core quality has become an important direction of primary school Chinese classroom reform, the core of which lies in cultivating students' individual cognition and application ability of Chinese. Based on this, this paper breaks down the cultivation concept of primary Chinese core quality into individualized learning orientation, teaching orientation of students' subjectivity and feedback mode of multiple evaluation. The paper deeply integrates the use of information technology media with primary school Chinese teaching, and puts forward the cultivation mode of primary school Chinese core quality under the vision of information technology media. This model includes three parts: deep interaction of teaching and research, flipped classroom learning model, multiple evaluation and intelligent data management, in order to help the reform of the primary school Chinese core literacy training model.

Reform and Ideological Practice of Operations Research Course in Management and Engineering with The Integration of CDIO and PYTHON

It is pointed out in the National Education Conference and the National Conference on Ideological and Political Work in Colleges and Universities that colleges and universities should apply for ideological-political courses throughout the whole process of higher education, which provides incentives for deepening the reform and ideological-political practice of management engineering and operations research courses. Based on the integration of the CDIO teaching concept and Python and the immersive teaching process of the operations research course, this paper designs the teaching reform and practice of student-oriented management engineering and operations research course, which leads students to realize the algorithm design, program implementation, and visualization of operations research modeling and machine learning step by step. On this basis, based on the inventory management and its expansion model in operational research, taking grain supply chain management as the case object, this paper explores the strategic deployment of the CPC Central Committee and the state to realize the dynamic balance of grain supply and demand at a high level and deal with the uncertainty of the external environment with the security and stability of grain supply, from the perspective of variable cost, supply capacity, consumption demand, holding cost and shortage cost in the model. The research results are conducive to strengthening students' problem analysis and modeling ability, programming, and in-depth analysis, and have theoretical and practical value.

新时代背景下大学生素质教育发展性评价体系构建研究

This article focuses on General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important exposition on education and the spirit of the National Education Conference, based on “simultaneous development of five educations”, fully exploring the elements of the “Three Complete Education” and “Ten Education” systems, and building a “six-dimensional integration” developmental evaluation system of quality education for college students. The development evaluation system of college students can comprehensively evaluate the quality of college students from six dimensions: moral education, intellectual education, physical education, aesthetic education, labor education, and ability. It enables educators, students, parents, and society to pay more attention to the all-round development of students, and provides a way to improve the comprehensive development of college students, providing support for improving quality and cultivating innovative talents. Among them, the indicator system of moral education includes three indicators: values, moral quality and psychological quality; the evaluation of intellectual education is usually carried out through students’ academic achievements; the indicator system of sports includes body shape indicators, physical quality indicators, sports skill indicators and health-related indicators; aesthetic education It includes four dimensions: aesthetic understanding, artistic skills, artistic creation and participation level; labor education includes labor attitude, labor skills, labor habits and social responsibility; the construction of college student ability index system includes academic ability, practical ability and communication and cooperation ability.

Research and analysis of educational strategies in the development process based on educational psychology

Life is the basis of all material human activities and a prerequisite for the development of human society. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasised at the National Education Conference in 2018 that the concept of health-first education should be established, and that party committees and governments at all levels should also underpin the safety of school operations and protect the lives of students. At present, the vast majority of university students in China have a scientific awareness of life, a positive attitude towards life and a high level of life satisfaction, but with the continuous development of the market economy and the satisfaction of material resources, some students also have a weak sense of responsibility for life and diluted ideals and beliefs, which have seriously affected the life safety and value realization of our university students. Therefore, in the face of the current situation, how to enhance the effectiveness of life values education for university students is a realistic question that must be answered. Based on the development requirements of the new era, this paper examines the development requirements under the new era and the new needs of society for student education in the new era.

Discussion on the function of labor education in the establishment of moral education

Labor education is an essential part of the comprehensive education system, which is conducive to students' moral, intellectual, physical, and aesthetic development. It lays the foundation for the other four education. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out at the National Education Conference that it is necessary to cultivate socialist builders and successors who develop morally, intellectually, physically, and aesthetically. Labor education is conducive to promoting students' healthy growth and overall development. The fundamental task of implementing moral education in a college education can be realized by relying on labor education to realize personal dreams, leading values, and practicing nurturing people. The function of labor education in cultivating moral character should follow the principle of "three comprehensive education" educate people with culture, guide people with actions, develop students' correct view of labor and labor dynamics, and build the practice system and mechanism of labor education.

The Development Status, Existing Problems and Optimization Path of Ideological and Political Education in College Physics

In recent years, the construction of ideological and political courses has been raised to a new height on important occasions such as the National Conference on Ideological and Political Work in Colleges and Universities and the National Education Conference. At the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC), it was proposed to implement the fundamental task of establishing morality and cultivating people. College physics is the foundation of science and engineering and a required course for students. In the new era, promoting the high-quality development of college physics curriculum is the key field and important link for colleges and universities to systematically promote the ideological and political work of the curriculum.

Applying Conceptual and Theoretical Frameworks to Health Professions Education Research: An Introductory Workshop.

Literature suggests that the quality and rigor of health professions education (HPE) research can be elevated if the research is anchored in existing theories and frameworks. This critical skill is difficult for novice researchers to master. We created a workshop to introduce the practical application of theories and frameworks to HPE research. We conducted two 60- to 75-minute workshops, one in 2019 at an in-person national conference and another in 2021 during an online national education conference. After a brief role-play introduction, participants applied a relevant theory to a case scenario in small groups, led by facilitators with expertise in HPE research. The workshop concluded with a presentation on applying the lessons learned when preparing a scholarly manuscript. We conducted a postworkshop survey to measure self-reported achievement of objectives. Fifty-five individuals participated in the in-person workshop, and approximately 150 people completed the online workshop. Sixty participants (30%) completed the postworkshop survey across both workshops. As a result of participating in the workshop, 80% of participants (32) indicated they could distinguish between frameworks and theories, and 86% (32) could apply a conceptual or theoretical framework to a research question. Strengths of the workshop included the small-group activity, access to expert facilitators, and the materials provided. The workshop has been well received by participants and fills a gap in the existing resources available to HPE researchers and mentors. It can be replicated in multiple settings to model the application of conceptual and theoretical frameworks to HPE research.

Analysis of the Physical Education Teaching Path in Primary and Secondary Schools Under the Guidance of Core Literacy

Since the 2018 National Education Conference in China, physical education has gained importance as a whole, and the development of physical literacy education and teaching has been promoted. In order to ensure high-quality physical education teaching in primary and secondary schools in the new era, it is necessary to take core literacy as the guide to further improve the level of physical education in primary and secondary schools. This article emphasizes the importance of physical education in primary and secondary schools in the new era and analyzes the need of primary and secondary schools for core literacy-oriented physical education. On this basis, targeted suggestions are proposed from three aspects: new concept, new technology, and new evaluation.

Neurological interest and career exploration among black medical students: Perceptions and solutions for the pipeline

PurposeThe goal of this study was to identify factors that influence the selection of Neurology as a career choice for Black medical students. MethodsSurvey data was collected from attendees at a national educational conference and at a large academic medical school. Two proportion z-tests were used to assess responses among students of different racial/ethnic backgrounds. Results199 students participated in the survey. Compared to their Asian and White counterparts, Black students were significantly less likely to choose or consider a career in Neurology. In addition, we found that these students relied more heavily on their pre-clinical experiences to make this determination, citing preference for another specialty, lack of exposure, a preference for a different patient population, and a lack of racial/ethnic diversity as key reasons to not choose a career in Neurology. ConclusionsNeurological disorders are important contributors to morbidity and mortality. It is imperative that the field attract medical students toward careers in Neurology, particularly those students from traditionally and persistently underrepresented backgrounds. Our findings suggest that Black medical students consider Neurology as a specialty choice less frequently than their counterparts do, and this decision may be made prior to training. We conclude that a multifaceted approach is best to improve the racial/ethnic diversity within the neurological workforce, which should include targeted interventions prior to and after matriculation to medical school.

Research on the Path and Effect Evaluation of Students’ Quality Improvement in Private Colleges

Entering the 21st century, the development momentum of holistic education in China’s higher education can be described as rapid progress. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized at the National Education Conference that efforts should be made to enhance comprehensive quality and educate and guide students to cultivate comprehensive ability and cultivate innovative thinking. The Outline of the 13th Five-Year Plan clearly states that the training system of academic and applied talents classification, holistic education, and professional education combination shall be implemented. Holistic education is becoming more and more prominent in the cultivation of high-quality interdisciplinary talents in colleges and universities, and its importance in educational reform has been recognized. However, there are still some problems in holistic education, such as unbalanced development among core modules, separation of theory and practice in the actual teaching process, single classroom mode and low interest of students, and lack of relevant teacher resources. This paper introduces the experience of holistic education curriculum exploration in Sanquan College of Xinxiang Medical University. In the construction of the core modules of the curriculum, the content of the modules is clear, and the cross-module is emphasized; in the curriculum design, a multidimensional combination of theory and practice is required; the construction of the teaching staff is based on the long-term perspective, and the classroom assessment is scientific and objective. The research aims to provide a certain reference for the construction of holistic education courses.

The wonders of the Planetarium: intents and pitfalls for the implementation of a scientific facility in the midst of educational debates in Brazil in the 1930s

This study aims to highlight some articulations the intent of which was to set up Brazil’s first Planetarium in Rio de Janeiro during the organization of the 4th National Education Conference and pedagogy exposition in 1931. The Conferences, promoted by the Brazilian Education Association (ABE), were founded on strategies for disseminating educational practices and producing material for Brazilian schools. This mechanism was a tool not only to provide visibility but also to promote the debate on the material conditions needed for public education. ABE developed actions aimed at directing and political organizing of the school education system in Brazil. Its work was marked by the holding of debates, surveys, research, exhibitions, libraries, publications, conferences and courses that contributed to the entire education process. However, its national prominence occurred through its organization of the National Education Conferences with effect from 1927. The Conferences were not only a way of giving visibility to modern and up to data schooling but also for fuelling the debate on material conditions needed for public education. The ABE Conferences served as a link between the federal government, the state government and civil society, as well as being an important strategy for disseminating ideas. They gave rise to a variety of themes, actions and proposals capable of disseminating educational causes on a national level, addressed at the Conferences and publicized by the press of that time. Among them, this text highlights the debate and the attempt to acquire Brazil’s first Planetarium which could have been part of the activities of the 4th National Education Conference scheduled for 1931. In addition, the debate could put the subject of planetariums into circulation – as a modern mechanism, a powerful instrument used not only by the population but also by science and education in other countries. This article addresses aspects of material school culture by exploring sources derived from the archives of the Brazilian Education Association and from the Brazilian periodical press, proposing relationships and analyses of the use of narrative of the rhetoric of modernity in education. The theoretical references to assist with analysis are linked to the perspective of studies on material school culture and cultural history.

The critical awakening of a pre-service teacher in a Spanish graduate program: a phenomenology of translanguaging as pedagogy and as content

ABSTRACT This 2-year case study is a phenomenology of belief-change resulting from a specific curricular re-configuration. It follows Álvaro, a Master of Arts in Teaching Spanish student, from the first week of classes until graduation, as he completed a 4-semester program. Seeking to stimulate a move toward conscientização, the pilot curriculum included a translanguaging approach to three graduate courses, readings and group discussions on translinguistics, and shadowing an undergraduate Spanish class (for ‘heritage speakers’) that adopted a translanguaging approach. Additionally, opportunities for professional development (e.g. preparing and presenting an original paper at a national bilingual education conference) were provided. Following an iterative approach, data were collected via interviews and written reflections throughout the program; datasets were transcribed (when necessary) and analyzed after collection. Manen’s (1990) guidelines for phenomenological analysis were adopted, and member checking was used for validation of findings. Results chart out a baseline of beliefs held by Álvaro prior to entering the program, and three types of belief-shift he experienced during his studies; these regard the dynamic nature of Spanish, the link between race and language, and the value of multilingual practices in society and education. Critical awakening/despertar crítico is introduced as a metacategory.

On the Necessity of Curriculumization of Labor Education in Primary and Middle Schools

Following the call of General Secretary Xi at the National Education Conference in September 2018, labor education has set off an upsurge in the country. From kindergartens to primary and secondary schools, and even higher education institutions have established labor education-related courses in the field of education. Experts and scholars in China have also paid enough attention to the issue of labor education. In fact, labor education is not a new term in the field of education in the new era. For labor education to truly land, labor education must be curriculumized in primary and secondary schools. The curriculumization of labor education not only reflects the country’s policy orientation towards labor education, At the same time, it is also a powerful guarantee for the scientific, standardized and effective labor education.

Got 15? Try Faculty Development on the Fly: A Snippets Workshop for Microlearning.

IntroductionFaculty development (FD) is an element critical to the professional growth of medical educators and a necessary component in developing effective educators. FD offerings are prevalent across academic institutions; however, faculty report they are unable to participate in these initiatives due to time limitations and competing priorities. The snippet FD approach can address these concerns but requires training for FD providers to be effectively used.MethodsThis snippet train-the-trainer workshop was presented to approximately 310 physician and nonphysician medical educators at a national medical education conference. The session incorporated multiple teaching modalities (e.g., lecture, demonstrations, structured small-group snippet development groups, and large-group debriefs). A 14-item Likert-scale survey was used to obtain participant evaluations. Narrative feedback was collected using constructed response items.ResultsNinety-five percent of respondents (125 of 132) planned to use snippets as an FD strategy at least once per year, with 38% (50 of 132) noting they planned to use snippets at least four times per year. Respondents indicated that FD snippets could positively impact educational practices (94%) and that the session was a valuable use of their time (94%), as well as expressing interest in a snippet repository (90%).DiscussionA brief FD train-the-trainer workshop for snippets can successfully prepare FD providers to create and use this approach.

Dermatologists' Perceptions and Use of Electronic Health Record Systems

Introduction: Electronic Health Records (EHR) have been adopted and integrated into medical practices over the past 20 years. Many positive and negative implications have been described by physicians using EHR. This study aims to US dermatologists' perceptions and use of EHR within their clinical practice. Methods: A validated survey was administered to US dermatologists at a national educational conference to assess use and perceptions of EHR. Results Seventy-two percent (291/400) of those sampled completed greater than 90% survey and were included in outcome analysis. Eighty-six percent of the participants were currently using or had used EHR. Most dermatologists felt that EHR negatively impacted their workflow efficiency and face-to-face time with patients. A portion of dermatologists thought that EHR improved their documentation. Limitations: Selection bias may have led those with strong beliefs with EHR more likely to complete the entire survey. Conclusion: Despite widespread adoption, most dermatologists have a negative impression of EHR and felt that it interfered with their ability to effectively see patients. Interventions to improve EHR should focus on improving workflow efficiency and maximizing the amount of time dermatologists can spend with patients.

Insights into Australian optometrists' knowledge and attitude towards prescribing blue light-blocking ophthalmic devices.

The aim of this cross-sectional study was to survey Australian optometrists regarding their attitudes towards, and knowledge of, blue light-blocking lenses designed to attenuate blue light transmission to the eye. A 29-item survey was distributed at a major national optometry education conference and through professional networks. Respondents provided information regarding their demographics and practice modalities, knowledge about the potential effects of blue light, and attitudes towards prescribing blue light-blocking ophthalmic devices. Ordinal logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the factors that predicted optometrists' prescribing of blue light-blocking lenses. Of 372 respondents, 75.3% indicated prescribing blue light-blocking spectacle lenses in their clinical practice. Forty-four per cent of optometrists considered daily environmental exposure to blue light as a potential cause of retinal damage, and approximately half of respondents thought blue light emitted from computer screens was an important factor in causing computer vision syndrome. About half of optometrists considered placebo effects to potentially play a role, at least sometimes, in patients' experiences with blue light-blocking lenses. Most optometrists estimated that they first prescribed a blue light-blocking lens in 2016. The most common reason optometrists prescribed these devices was for patients who were computer or electronic device users (87.9%). The two main sources of information used to guide practitioners' management approaches were conference presentations and manufacturer product information. Practitioners were significantly more likely to prescribe blue light-blocking lenses if they considered blue light to cause either retinal damage (odds ratio, OR 2.28, 95%CI 1.34-3.88, p=0.002) or computer vision syndrome (OR 2.52, 95%CI 1.41-4.50, p=0.002) compared with practitioners who did not consider such factors to be relevant. Prescribing trends by Australian optometrists in relation to blue light-blocking lenses reflect the inconclusive nature of several aspects of the evidence in this field. Blue light-blocking lens prescribing has increased since 2010, despite practitioners acknowledging the lack of high-quality evidence to support their use and also commonly believing that placebo effects may have a role in patient responses to these lenses. Information from this study will help inform the development of resources to guide evidence-based prescribing of blue light-blocking lens products.
