Design of Assessment Judging Model for Physical Education Professional Skills Course Based on Convolutional Neural Network and Few-Shot Learning.

In recent years, the promotion of quality education and the development of curriculum and teaching materials reform have put forward higher goals and requirements for professional skills in physical education. However, there are still many shortcomings in the nuclear assessment of physical education professional skills, such as lack of clarity in evaluation objectives, lack of scientific in evaluation indexes, lack of systematization in evaluation contents, lack of diversity in evaluation methods, lack of authority in evaluation results, and lack of timely prediction and analysis of students' mastery of classroom teaching skills, thus not giving good play to all the functions that the nuclear assessment should have, thus to a certain extent fettering the further enhancement of physical education. With the development of information technology, artificial intelligence, as a new technology, can guide the improvement of the assessment and judging mode of physical education professional skills courses, and is also an important guiding idea for physical education majors to meet the development demands of information-based society. Based on the analysis of the connotation and characteristics of deep learning, this paper points out the insufficiency of the assessment and evaluation of traditional physical education professional skills courses and proposes a method of assessment and evaluation of physical education professional skills courses based on convolutional neural networks and small sample learning. In the case of a small amount of data in the course assessment, we use a small number of samples to learn, and only need a small number of samples to learn quickly. Using the improvement measures under the teaching concept of deep learning, physical education personnel are required to truly change in terms of professional skills mastery and evaluation. We effectively implement improvement measures, promote the improvement of physical education professional skills, and realize the migration and innovation of sports knowledge and skills.

Analysis of Long-term Care Insurance Demand of Megalopolis in China under the Background of Aging of Population—Take Shanghai as an Example

The development of Long-term Care Insurance (LTCI), which matches that people get old before becoming rich lag behind. The mega-urban agglomeration formed in the metropolitan area under the process of urbanization intensifies the demand for insurance driven by long-term care needs. This paper constructs a theoretical model to sort out the micro-action mechanism of LTCI products entering the production field through the consumption of corporate security services, and at the same time entering the consumption field in the form of security services demand from families, individuals and government agencies, it reveals that the differences in the micro-paths of LTCI products entering the enterprise production field and the household consumption field under different regional economic and social conditions. Then, using the GM (1,1) model to analyze the demand for LTCI under the aging population trend of Shanghai, a super large city in China, we found that the situation and characteristics of Shanghai and Japan are similar, and the number of people who need care under the distribution of the elderly population in Shanghai from 2017 to 2027 is much lower than the number of people who need LTCI. Meanwhile, the current long-term nursing service has a large labor gap and high professional skills requirements, but the current salary is low. Besides, the share of elderly care institutions is small, which is not enough to support the current occupancy needs of severely disabled people. The actual development has a greater potential impact on public health expenditures, especially the increase in public health expenditures after the outbreak of the COVID-19 has brought uncertainty. Based on the above findings, we propose to introduce the successful mode of American political and commercial cooperation and the Japanese social security model to alleviate the rapid growth in the demand for LTCI accompanied by the aging trend in the mega-urban clusters formed in the urbanization process.

IS ENGINEERING EDUCATION DELIVERING WHAT INDUSTRY REQUIRES

Engineering graduates from the current Canadian university system leave school expecting to be well-equipped for engineering practice. After years of intense study, these bright and eager engineering graduates plan to design cars, construct bridges, and develop computer systems. However, for some time, surveys have suggested that employers find engineering graduates to be weak in the field of engineering design, innovation, communication, and associated professional skills. It is not likely that this is the fault of the student, but one may question whether design and professional skills requirements in engineering curricula are adequate [1]. Industry feedback suggests that changes are required in Canadian engineering education.

True independent learning — an andragogical approach: giving control to the learner over choice of material and design of the study session

Normal practice in course and text book construction is to provide learners with pre-selected material chosen by the authors to illustrate a pre-determined grammar, content or teaching syllabus. This paper will discuss the effect of the reversal of this process at a pilot workshop session in which learners themselves were invited to select the material in French which they wished to work with. The researcher provided a bank of language exercise types, which were used as the basis for a strategy training session in the method. Students then applied the strategies to their own material according to the demands of their personal or professional skills requirements and interests. The advantage for course writers of this andragogical approach is that short, tailor-made courses can be put together on any subject or theme very rapidly by combining a generic bank of exploitation strategies with material of appropriate content appeal to the learner. The approach lends itself equally well to face-to-face teaching and distance learning and can apply to disciplines other than languages.
