Exploration and Practice of Practical Education Pathways in Agricultural and Forestry Universities under the Background of New Agricultural Science Construction: A Case Study of the Veterinary Medicine Major at Sichuan Agricultural University

The construction of new agricultural sciences is an important component of higher education in agriculture and forestry. It is conducive to accelerating the “Double First-Class” construction of agricultural and forestry colleges and universities, adapting to and leading the development needs of new business forms in the modern agricultural industry, and improving the quality of talent cultivation in agriculture and forestry. However, at present, under the background of new agricultural science construction, there are still some problems in the practice-oriented education of agricultural and forestry universities, such as the imperfect system and the insufficient depth of school-enterprise collaborative education, which have affected the effect of practice-oriented education. This paper analyzes the necessity of strengthening practice-oriented education in agricultural and forestry universities under the background of new agricultural sciences, dissects the dilemmas faced by the current practice-oriented education in agricultural and forestry universities, and proposes to improve the practice-oriented education system, jointly build a practice-oriented education alliance by schools and enterprises, organize special social practice activities and focus on cultivating college students’ scientific and technological innovation abilities, to improve the effectiveness and quality of practice-oriented education.

The Mediating Effect of Student Involvement between Social Practice Activity and Sense of Social Responsibility

The study aims to understand the intricate association between Social Practice Activity (SPA), Students' Involvement (SI), and Sense of Social Responsibility (SSR), and focuses on the following two questions: (1) What is the relationship between SPA, SI and SSR? (2) Does SI have a mediating role in SPA and SSR? The questionnaire was employed in this study, 502 valid questionnaires were received from college students at a vocational university in Shanxi, China. Data were analyzed using the software including SPSS and AMOS, and the specific methods include correlational analysis, confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling. The Bootstrap method mediating effect test was used to test the mediating role of SI between SPA and SSR. The results revealed that there was a significant correlation between SPA, SI and SSR and their dimensions. SI (including rule-based involvement, procedural involvement, and autonomous involvement) has a positive mediating effect between SPA (including activity organization, teacher guidance, and service support) and SSR (including global social responsibility and responsibility of people). This result supports that focus on students' involvement in social practice activities, and combine the creation of an external environment with the promotion of individual involvement.

(Re-)shaping learning experiences in supply chain management and logistics education under disruptive uncertain situations

IntroductionDisruptive uncertain events often necessitate universities to abruptly shift from face-to-face to remote online learning, posing challenges to instructional quality and learning outcomes. Remote online instruction may lack social interaction, educational resources, and practical activities, hindering effective learning.MethodsThis study presents an experiential learning framework designed to foster active learning experiences amidst disruptive uncertain events. The framework incorporates such events as study situations to enhance student motivation and engagement. A methodology for designing learning experiences is proposed, with a focus on incorporating real-world disruptions into educational settings.ResultsA case study is presented, detailing the implementation of the framework in supply chain management and logistics education at a private university in Bolivia, amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Results indicate that the novel learning experience positively impacted student motivation and engagement, facilitating the achievement of learning outcomes.DiscussionThe initial implementation suggests that the novel learning experience positively impacted student motivation and engagement while achieving their intended learning outcomes. However, further instances of utilizing the proposed framework are necessary to ascertain its generalizability and effectiveness across diverse contexts and situations. Identifying similarities or invariances will help validate the applicability of this approach in different educational settings affected by disruptive uncertain events.

Research on objective evaluation methods of labor education teaching for college students in higher education

Abstract Labor education in colleges and universities in the new era is the fundamental task of implementing the principle of establishing morality and educating people, as well as an essential hand in cultivating college students with all-round development of morality, intelligence, physicality, aesthetics, and labor. This paper focuses on the objective evaluation method of college students’ labor education to conduct research. Using the improved binary tree support vector machine multi-class classification algorithm, an evaluation model for college labor education based on a binary tree support vector machine has been constructed, and an evaluation system for labor education has been developed. The results show that the majors that have compulsory labor education courses, elective labor education courses, and have added labor education modules in their major courses are all art and sports, accounting for more than 50% on average. The percentages of liberal arts, science, economics and management, art and sports, medicine and science, and agriculture, which did not offer labor education-related courses, were 26.35%, 22.16%, 19.91%, 13.59%, 11.03%, and 13.19%, respectively. It is evident that labor education courses are not distributed equally in colleges and universities, and there are still some majors that do not offer labor education courses. In terms of labor education, most of the labor education through Civics and Political Science classes is provided to students. Managers are those who choose the most specialized courses. Students also tend to participate in bicultural education and social practice activities, accounting for 29.02% and 43.01%, respectively. It shows that the algorithm in this paper can objectively and effectively evaluate labor education in colleges and universities and identify the deficiencies in education.

A Study on the Enrollment Education of College Freshmen and the Ideological and Political Education Strategies of Counselors

With the continuous expansion of university enrollment, the entrance education of freshmen has become an important part of education management. This paper focuses on the entrance education of freshmen and the ideological education strategy of counselors, aiming at discussing how to better guide students to adapt to the new learning and living environment and cultivate their positive ideological quality and social responsibility. First of all, through the in-depth analysis of the characteristics and needs of freshmen, we realize that freshmen face many challenges, including academic pressure, interpersonal relationship, career planning and so on. Secondly, this paper discusses in detail the responsibilities and tasks that counselors should undertake in the entrance education of freshmen. Specific ideological education strategies are put forward from organizing thematic lectures and symposiums, guiding students to participate in social practice and volunteer activities, paying attention to students' mental health, and establishing community and communication platforms. Finally, this paper emphasizes that ideological education is a long-term and continuous process, which requires counselors to constantly adjust their strategies to adapt to the development and changes of students. At the same time, interdisciplinary cooperation and the connection with social resources, as well as the comprehensive use of online and offline multi-means are also important ways to improve the effect of ideological education.

Analysis of the Characteristics of Narrative Types in Contemporary Chinese Political Discourses: Taking Xi Jinping’s Discourses on the History of the CPC as an Example

Based on the different contents, topics, and characteristics of the history of the Communist Party of China (CPC), Xi Jinping’s important discourses on the history of the CPC integrate three narrative types: philosophical narrative, historical narrative, and literary narrative. The integration of the three typical narrative types enables the important discourses on the history of the CPC to contain profound philosophical speculation, heavy historical connotation, and aesthetic and literary conception. The value and significance of exploring the narrative types of Xi Jinping’s important discourses on the history of the CPC lie in continuously strengthening the study of Marxist classic works and promoting the Sinicization of Marxism, improving the Party history narrators’ theoretical attainment and excellent traditional Chinese cultural literacy, actively participating in various forms of social practice activities, accumulating socialized discourse materials through close contact with people from different social classes, and enriching the “corpus” of discourses of the history of the CPC, thus making the narratives deeper and more concrete.

Analysis on the Current Situation of College Students' Cognition of Red Culture Countermeasures and Suggestions

As the spiritual bond of the Chinese nation, red culture has profound historical connotation and rich value of The Times. It is a precious spiritual wealth worth inheriting, excavating and developing, and it is also an important educational resource for colleges and universities. In order to further understand the status quo of college students' cognition of red culture, the author designed a questionnaire and carried out an online survey for college students in 12 prefecture-level cities in Jiangsu Province through the Internet. The research results and analysis show that the understanding of red culture still needs to be improved, and the emotional identity of red culture is not strong enough; the action recognition of red culture needs to be strengthened, the coverage of relevant social practice activities needs to be expanded, especially the form of field learning and experience needs to be further explored; the channel of red culture is relatively simple, the integration of classroom teaching is insufficient, and there are gaps between different majors. To better spread red culture among college students, we should further explore the connotation and value of red culture, take the initiative to close to the actual needs of college students, deepen the integration of the whole subject, integrate the advantages of new media platform, and pay attention to practical experience learning.

A Comparison of the English Subtitles of The Wandering Earth Series from the Perspective of Sociological Translation Studies

As a social practice activity affected by many social and cultural factors, the subjective initiative of social roles, accumulated capital and habits will affect the dissemination of translation products. In 1972, Holmes proposed to promote function-oriented descriptive translation research, and explore the phenomenon of translation within the framework of sociology. Sociological translation studies construct a system based on the core three elements of Bourdieu's sociological theorycapital, field, and habit, and explore the different roles played by actors in social practice. The popularity of the 2019 and 2023 Spring Festival movie series The Wandering Earth had aroused peoples attention to Chinese science fiction movies. This movie series is based on the short novel of the same name published in 2000 by Liu Cixin, a new generation of Chinese science fiction novelists. The films were translated into English and released in overseas theaters. This article will take the subtitle translation of the series as the starting point from the perspective of sociological translation studies, take culture and market as the two general directions, and explore the changes and reasons for the subtitle translation of The Wandering Earth I and II. This study finds that the subtitle quality of the Wandering Earth series of movies has improved significantly. The change is mainly related to China's cultural self-confidence, cultural export policy support and market attraction in recent years. The sociological perspective of this study compensates for the theoretical singularity of most subtitle translation studies, and improves the objectivity of the research mechanism, which can promote the diversification of other translation studies. At the same time, it also helps more films improve their own translation quality, achieve a win-win situation of going abroad and achieving commercial value and cultural output.

Influencing factors of sense of responsibility among undergraduate nursing students: A cross-sectional study

BackgroundNursing students are critical in responding to public health emergencies like the COVID-19 pandemic. Their ability to fulfill their responsibilities is influenced by their sense of responsibility, which holds profound cultural significance, particularly in traditional Chinese culture. However, limited research has specifically explored the sense of responsibility among undergraduate nursing students in China and globally. ObjectivesThis study aimed to determine the sense of responsibility among undergraduate nursing students and identify potential factors associated with it. Design, setting & participantsWe conducted a cross-sectional study and recruited 526 nursing students from June to July 2022 in Guizhou province in southwest China. MethodsParticipants completed the General Information Questionnaire, Sense of Responsibility, and Self-esteem Scale. We analyzed the relationship between a sense of responsibility and self-esteem using Spearman correlation analysis. Then we determined factors that affect undergraduate nursing students' sense of responsibility using multiple linear stepwise regression. ResultsNursing students' total sense of responsibility scores were 96(84,106). The study found a positive association between self-esteem and a sense of responsibility (r = 0.433, P < 0.001) and its four dimensions: altruism (r = 0.381, P < 0.001), self-control (r = 0.378, P < 0.001), courage (r = 0.300, p < 0.001), and commitment (r = 0.361, P < 0.001). Self-esteem (β = 1.532, p < 0.001), personality (extroverted personality β = 7.263, P < 0.001; neutral personality β = 3.221, P = 0.029), and social practice experience (β = −3.156, P = 0.010) significantly influenced undergraduate nursing students' sense of responsibility (R2 = 0.268, F = 17.065, P < 0.001). ConclusionsThe study highlights the importance of nursing students' sense of responsibility and suggests room for improvement in its level. Higher self-esteem was associated with a stronger sense of responsibility. Additionally, self-esteem, personality, and social practice experience emerged as significant influencing factors. Nursing educators should prioritize students' sense of responsibility and explore targeted interventions, such as social practice activities, particularly for students with low self-esteem and introversion.
