基于课程思政的地方高师院校师德课教学评价体系研究

The teaching evaluation system plays a supervisory, diagnostic, feedback, and guarantee role in the construction of “Kecheng-Sizheng” in local normal universities. The construction of the teaching evaluation system for “Kecheng-Sizheng” in teacher ethics courses is not only an important prerequisite for the construction of curriculum ideological and political education in local normal universities, but also an important guarantee for improving the construction of curriculum ideological and political education in local normal universities. It is conducive to stimulating the main responsibility consciousness of teachers and enhancing the dual effectiveness of curriculum and ideological education. The construction of the teaching evaluation system for “Kecheng-Sizheng” in local normal universities should follow the principles of systematicity, effectiveness, diversification, and development. Teaching evaluation indicators should be designed from four dimensions: teaching management, teaching subjects, teaching processes, and teaching effectiveness. The implementation of teaching evaluation should be optimized from the aspects of evaluation subjects, evaluation standards, evaluation methods, and evaluation guarantee mechanisms, in order to improve the teaching effectiveness of “Kecheng-Sizheng” in teacher ethics course.

Inclusive education in Japan and its role in international cooperation: analysis of a project for children with disabilities in Mongolia

This study explores the influence of educational ideologies and practices of donor countries on the educational systems in recipient countries in the context of international cooperation. Previous research on international education cooperation has focused on international cooperation policies, ignoring the educational systems of both donor and recipient countries. This study seeks to fill this gap by examining how Japan’s dualistic model of inclusive education is reflected in the Strengthening Teachers’ Ability and Reasonable Treatments for Children with Disabilities (START) project in Mongolia. This study reviews the literature on inclusive education in Japan and Mongolia, and analyzes documents produced through the project. It finds that despite some instances of inclusive practices in Japanese schools, special needs education in Japan is still predicated on individualized and medicalized approaches to disabilities. Conversely, Mongolia has struggled to provide children with disabilities with accessible and quality schooling since its transition from a socialist to a capitalist regime in the early 1990s. The START project aims to identify children’s disabilities as early as possible, provide individualized support and guidance, and develop educational settings that allow the inclusion of children with disabilities in their peer groups. In implementing the project, Japanese-style inclusive education is negotiated between Mongolian teachers and officials rather than imposed by Japanese experts. By embracing the dualistic nature of Japanese inclusive education, Mongolia can better promote the ideal of inclusion for all children.

Ideological Contestation in Social Media: a Content Analysis of the Promotion of Islamic Education Institutions

Faith-based schools utilize social media as a new public space to promote their Islamic identity. This research focuses on the competition between three faith-based schools in Indonesia, as depicted through their digital content on social media platforms. This research observes the social media accounts of educational institutions that are the object of research. This study uses a qualitative method. The research design follows the qualitative content analysis framework developed by Bengtsson. Data collection was obtained from in-depth interviews and documentation. The analysis technique used is content analysis. The validity of the data was triangulated. This research has significant findings that the three Islamic educational institutions investigated proactively compete to articulate the meaning of Islam according to their ideological affiliation, including concepts, content, activities and identity of educational approaches. The implications of this competition are significant because it encourages healthy competition in promoting educational ideology and categorizing Islam based on ideological affiliation. In addition, this research opens the way to a deeper understanding of the diversity of Islamic interpretations and practices in society.

Alexander Pushkin and His Literary Heritage in the Soviet Union in 1917–1937: from Criticism to Veneration

The article takes the process of changing attitudes to the creative heritage of Alexander Pushkin in the Soviet state as the subject of research. The goal of the research is to reveal the role played by the heritage of Alexander Pushkin in the policy of the so‑called “cultural revolution” and to what extent it contributed to the revolution’s success. Within the framework of this goal, the following tasks were set: to identify which political circumstances influenced the process under review, how strong was the overestimation of the significance of Pushkin’s creative heritage, what role it played against the background of ideological education. The task was also to consider specific events and, first of all, the 100th anniversary of the poet’s death as the moment of the final consolidation of Pushkin’s top position in the pantheon of Russian classics. The novelty of the research consists in considering changes in the attitude towards Pushkin and his creative heritage in conjunction with changes in theoretical objectives that determined the cultural development of the country. In the course of the research, the following conclusions were successfully reached. Despite the paramount importance of the theory of “two cultures” and the ideological attitudes of the Soviet government in its early years, in terms of which Pushkin as a representative of the exploiter class had to be criticized, there was no complete denial of his creative work even among the representatives of the Proletkult (the Proletarian Culture movement). At the time the cultural uniformity was established through the use of the only possible artistic method — socialist realism with highly valued ideologic content, simplicity and concreteness — models for inspiration were actively looked for. Eventually, the simplicity and national spirit of Pushkin’s characters managed to satisfy the demands in the best way possible. Despite the fact that the preparation and celebration of the Pushkin jubilee in 1937 were held according to the rules set by ideological campaigns, it had a tremendous positive effect and introduced Pushkin’s works to the broad masses of people. Pushkin’s creativity captivated millions of people. From there, we can say that the cultural development of the Soviet Union cannot be perceived one‑sidedly.

The Double Contradiction - Education Gospel and Education Penalty

The wishful thinking of education-jobs-development promise has formed within the emergence of the trinity of the knowledge economy, meritocracy and human capital theory embedded in education ideology. The take-for-granted promise is idealized and deceptive, which largely ignores the interplay of other variables. The education arms race, credential inflation, overeducation, the dilemma of liberal arts and humanity subjects, and education penalties for employees, especially student workers, have exposed another side of the seemingly promising trinity. In this sense, the absolute goodness of education has gradually tilted toward relative or positional goodness, suggesting an alienated structure which simultaneously constrains individuals. Focusing on the paradoxes of the trinity specifically, allows people to not only scrutinize the overall picture and interconnection of those educational settings but also how education shapes and reshapes different stakeholders. This essay expounded the traps of the trinity, indicating meritocracy reproduces inequality and its premise on ability-based placement is also flawed. Heavily human-capital-based-idealogy alienates education. People with knowledge do not necessarily gain high-income jobs. The paper suggests a reconnection and review on education purposes for education stakeholders and the construction of a working environment legal protective framework to embrace the increasing student workforce.

A Study on the Practice of Professional Ideological Education for Undergraduate Nursing Students under the Perspective of “Three Comprehensive Education”--Taking the School of Nursing of a Medical University as an Example

Abstract Under the guidance of “Three Comprehensive Education,” colleges and universities have achieved certain results. However, in their practical operation, they have encountered several problems. These include the insufficient joint generation of “all-staff education,” the weak overall penetration of “whole-process education,” and the low overall linkage of “all-round education.” This paper takes the professional, ideological education of nursing undergraduates in a medical university as the research object, takes the evaluation of the effectiveness of ideological education as the research basis, takes the theory and practice of “three comprehensive education” as the starting point, and deeply studies the shortcomings of the current ideological education in colleges and universities in the main body, process, and direction of education. We constructed the “2+6+N” quality evaluation index system from two components: the ideological education work (i.e., full staff, the whole process, and all-round) and the ideological education effectiveness (direct effect, indirect effect, and spillover effect) in colleges and universities. From an empirical point of view, a complete set of whole-process quality evaluation implementation systems is constructed, and the AHP method and fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method are used in the evaluation. The results showed that the comprehensive value of the evaluation of the effectiveness of ideological education for nursing undergraduates in a medical university was 75.079, and the results were between satisfactory and average. The evaluation results suggest specific improvement measures for undergraduate colleges to implement ideological education in nursing.

Sagas of Triumphs of Leading School Heads’ Organizational Landscape Initiatives

Outstanding school leaders play a vital role in creating a successful educational environment that can positively impact organizational landscape initiatives. Thus, exploring the stories of triumphs of leading school heads who implemented innovative and effective initiatives is essential. The study purposively selected five (5) outstanding school heads who have outstanding performance in leadership. They have been awarded by the School Division Office of Laguna during the Awarding of Gawad Marangal Year 2020-2023. The data were analyzed using a Narrative Case study. It aimed to capture the narratives of these school heads and gain insights into the strategies, challenges, and outcomes of their organizational landscape initiatives. The study revealed that these leading school heads demonstrated exceptional leadership skills and strategic thinking in implementing organizational landscape initiatives. They were able to create a transformative educational environment by effectively engaging stakeholders developing innovative programs and fostering a culture of collaboration. Their initiatives resulted in improved student performance, enhanced teacher effectiveness and satisfaction, increased parent and community involvement, and overall positive changes in the school’s organizational landscape. They had set high standards of success for their schools by cultivating a proactive and collaborative learning environment. Their optimism, resiliency, and being a relational type of leader have seen them through the myriad of difficulties as school leaders. They stressed that they should be the agents of change in their schools, inspiring others to work hard to achieve their goals and continuously improve. Outstanding school heads typically use one of two approaches: transformational or democratic leadership. With their leadership philosophies, they were more successful at managing employees and creating an atmosphere that is favorable to accomplishing educational objectives. Because of pragmatism and progressivism – the leading school heads’ educational ideologies – they were able to strike a balance between ideas and uphold a clear, consistent vision for their schools.

Bibliometric analysis of the current situation of research on the integration of Jiangxi’s red cultural resources into college students’ ideological and political education

Abstract Jiangxi is rich in red cultural resources, and the integration of red stories into the ideological and political education of university courses is an important topic worth exploring in the curriculum design of all university teachers. In this paper, we selected 1596 pieces of literature on the research of integrating red culture into college students’ civic education, included in Chinese and foreign language databases between 2004 and 2023, and used CiteSpace software to visualize and analyze the annual number of publications, authors, keywords and other aspects of the literature. Co-occurrence relationship analysis, cluster analysis, and emergence analysis of high-frequency keywords were conducted through bibliometrics to study the cutting-edge trends and hotspots of research in this field. The study shows that the current research on the integration of red culture into the current situation of college students’ ideological education is in a period of rapid development, and the research trends and hotspots in this field mainly focus on “red resources” and “curriculum ideology”, with the emergence intensities of 8.925 and 5.934 respectively. This study comprehensively grasps the research hotspots and development frontier trends in this field, provides a reference basis for the choice of research direction in this field, and provides ideas for promoting in-depth ideological and political education in Jiangxi universities.

Analysis of the Influence of Ideological and Political Education on Students’ Psychological Cognition in Colleges and Universities in the Context of Informatization

Abstract To assist students develop sound moral principles and enhance their psychological and cognitive abilities, colleges and universities should provide them with ideological and political education. This study builds a standard regression model and a panel threshold regression model using statistical data collected from colleges and universities across the nation from 2012 to 2019 as an example. The models are evaluated for smoothness and multiple covariance by the testing process. Panel threshold regression and benchmark regression were employed to evaluate the impact of political and ideological education on learners’ psychological cognition in colleges and universities. The findings indicate that, in the absence of a control variable, students’ psychological cognition rises by 0.521 points for every percentage point increase in the intensity of ideological and political education provided by colleges and universities. The teaching content, cognitive mechanism, and psychological needs of political and ideological education in higher education institutions have a single threshold effect on the level of psychological cognition of students, with threshold values of 84.54, 29.16, and 35.98, respectively. Cognitive mechanisms and psychological needs are currently below these thresholds, and they will not exceed them. The psychological and cognitive development of the kids won’t be affected by the level being below the threshold value. To enhance students’ psychological cognition, civic education at colleges and universities must identify the psychological requirements of the students, comprehend the subject matter, and employ solid cognitive procedures.

Structure of the BOPPPS model of integrating labor competency development into higher civic education

Abstract As the main form of improving students’ labor ability level and labor consciousness, labor education is conducive to promoting students’ physical and mental health development, and its content has a high overlap with ideological education. Under this premise, this paper proposes a BOPPPS teaching model that integrates labor ability cultivation and ideological education and constructs an evaluation model of ideological teaching to provide a basis for the validation and analysis of the examples of the BOPPPS teaching model. In the construction of the Civic and Political teaching evaluation model, based on the relevant principles of cluster analysis, an improved NP algorithm is proposed on the basis of K-means clustering algorithm and hierarchical cohesion algorithm, the data matrix is constructed, and the clustering features are introduced to portray the clustering characteristics. The evaluation model of Civics teaching is built based on cluster analysis and combined with hierarchical analysis. The example experiment of the BOPPPS teaching model was launched in University L. The difference between the clusters of Civics teaching evaluation obtained from the experiment and the proportion of the score section of the subject students’ grades is less than 1%, which is basically the same, which verifies the performance of the Civics teaching evaluation model. The mean value of each dimension of labor quality evaluation of the subject students is greater than 4, and the performance of labor quality is excellent.
