Theoretical Evaluation and Application of Case Law Teaching in General Principles of Commercial Law

The General Principles of Commercial Law is a general summary and abstraction of the normative system of commercial law, which is of great guiding significance for the rules of adjudication of disputes in commercial practice in reality, and the lack of general commercial law norms makes the research and teaching of the General Theory of Commercial Law particularly important. The study of general commercial law is undoubtedly of more fundamental significance than the study of specific areas of commercial law. With the development of social economy, commercial law embodies more and more technical and practical, and the cultivation of commercial legal talents is more and more oriented to the employment demand, case study teaching has advantages in the teaching of general commercial law and should be emphasized. In the case teaching of general commercial law, the irrevocability of securities trading results can clearly reflect the style of commercial law to protect the security of transactions. The proportion and priority of case teaching in the teaching of general commercial law should be emphasized.

Study on the Actual and Contingent Integration of Traditional Culture into Higher Vocational Education

By analyzing the historical and contemporary implications of Chinese excellent traditional culture, we analyze the actual and contingent research on the integration of traditional culture into higher vocational education from three aspects: cognitive concept, curriculum and teaching mode. In terms of cognitive concept, there exists instrumental rationalism that emphasizes pragmatism over spiritual connotation; in terms of curriculum, there exists the problem of shallow content and insufficient credit hours; in terms of teaching mode, there exists the deficiency of formalism and lack of teachers. Based on this, from the contingent level, it is proposed to adhere to the people-oriented, top-level design of curriculum ideology and politics; to integrate the combination of excellent traditional culture and professional connotation into the curriculum system; to strengthen the construction of teachers, and to innovate the teaching pedagogy in terms of the teaching purpose, content, implementation, methodology, and evaluation, and other measures. Ultimately, the aim is to achieve a balanced and appropriate development of humanistic and professional aspects of vocational education.

Project-based learning: Student performance and perceptions in a food industry engineering degree course

The project-based learning (PBL) methodology was applied in a Food Technology course during the third year of a Food Industry Engineering degree at the University of Extremadura. The purpose of the research was to assess the effectiveness of PBL in this specific teaching field, evaluate the utility of rubrics, and determine the level of student satisfaction. A total of 22 students were tasked with participating in a group activity where they had to formulate, design, prepare, and present a food product to their peers and teacher. The students produced multiple deliverables and received feedback from the teachers. They also completed a final report and an oral presentation. The project was evaluated by teachers, peers (peer evaluation), and through self-evaluation using rubrics. A satisfaction survey and an analysis of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats were conducted after the completion of the PBL activity. The main findings indicated that PBL and rubrics were effective teaching and evaluation methodologies, respectively, enabling students to achieve scores above 8. Teacher evaluations were higher than the self-assessments, which were close to peer evaluations, indicating a high level of commitment on the part of students. Effective communication skills need improvement. Students viewed the activity positively, as it helped them comprehend the subject matter and proved valuable for improving teamwork, autonomy, and overall learning. In conclusion, PBL resulted in an engaging and effective learning experience that enhanced the understanding of food processing content and fostered the development of the skills and competencies necessary for a professional food engineer.

Analysis of the Reasons for the Problems of Music Teaching in Chinese Universities

The reasons for the problems of music teaching in Chinese colleges and universities are manifold. Firstly, the influence of education system and policy is an important factor. The current education examination system in China pays too much attention to scores and promotion rates, leading schools and teachers to pay more attention to exam-oriented education, and music education often becomes a neglected part. At the same time, the unbalanced distribution of educational resources also makes some colleges and universities with poor music teaching conditions and insufficient teachers to provide high-quality music education. Secondly, the backwardness of the concept of music education is also one of the causes of the problem. In addition, the imperfection of teacher training and selection mechanism is also one of the causes of the problem. At present, the training system for music teachers is not sound, and there is a lack of ways to train music teachers with comprehensive qualities. Meanwhile, the irrationality of the teacher evaluation mechanism also prevents some music teachers with professional skills from getting due recognition and incentives, which leads to the shortage of teachers.

Exploring the Impact of Online Teaching Factors on International Students’ Control-Value Appraisals and Achievement Emotions in a Foreign Language Context

Drawing upon Pekrun’s (2006) control–value theory of achievement emotions, the present study explores the relations between online teaching factors (i.e., teachers’ information and communications technology (ICT) competence and provision of structure) and students’ control–value appraisals and achievement emotions (i.e., enjoyment, boredom, and anxiety) in an online foreign language learning context. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 12 international students and 6 teachers who were involved in a Chinese foreign language course delivered online during the coronavirus pandemic. Results from the thematic analysis showed that both students’ and teachers’ positive evaluations of teachers’ ICT competence and provision of structure were associated with students’ increased control beliefs and intrinsic value, but not necessarily with utility value. According to the participants, the two increased appraisals related to students’ greater enjoyment and reduced feelings of boredom and anxiety during the online language learning process. Findings are discussed in light of the role of online teaching factors in shaping students’ appraisals and emotional experiences in online environments, particularly during the coronavirus pandemic.
