Innovative Development Model of Ideological and Political Education Under “Self-media” Based on Big Data

Abstract This paper establishes an evaluation index system for the effectiveness of online teaching of ideological and political theory courses in colleges and universities. Then the AHP method is used to study the weight of each evaluation index. The review found that the online education of ideological and political courses in universities is generally “strong” under the current situation. Based on this, this paper comprehensively evaluates college students’ ideological and political work. Educational institutions can then develop targeted improvement plans on a quantitative basis. The results of this paper lay a foundation for the implementation of precision teaching.

Using Autoethnographic Writing to Teach Critical Thinking in Health Behavior Theory Courses

Critical thinking is an important skill in all academic disciplines, but it can be difficult to develop assessments that adequately evaluate how critical thinking has changed over the period of a semester. In the context of health promotion, it is essential to prepare learners to appraise health information and misinformation, identify health disparities and work to address them, engage in health promotion practices that are culturally sensitive, theoretically driven, evidence-based, and acknowledge the role of social determinants of health and health behaviors. Health Behavior Theory is a fundamental subject taught in health promotion programs. While a large part of this subject matter involves the learning of health behavior theory, it presents an opportunity where critical thinking can be fostered through embodied pedagogy. Since students have had years of exposure to health information, as well as personal and observed experiences with health behavior, students come with many preconceived notions about the subject matter. In this article, we describe the use of a scaffolded experience of embodied behavior change and self-reflection, culminating in the creation of an autoethnography as a pedagogical experience which can support critical thinking in learners. We describe the development, implementation, and evaluation of the autoethnography assignment. As an embodied pedagogy, the autoethnography experience provides students with valuable insight into the difficulties of behavior change on an individual level while connecting individual experiences with social discourses that influence diverse meanings related to health behavior.

Analysis of factors influencing the development of Civic Education for senior students of Chinese party culture based on ISO model

Abstract Higher vocational schools are responsible for training socialist builders and later generations, and they must always take moral education as their development purpose, penetrate ideological and political education into the whole stage of education and teaching, implement the three comprehensive education guidelines, and try their best to cultivate generations of talents who support the leadership of the Communist Party and the Chinese socialist system, and firmly contribute to socialism with Chinese characteristics. In this paper, we analyze the situation of the implementation of Civic Science and Politics in higher education institutions by investigating the implementation of the Civic Science and Politics curriculum in higher education institutions and using a more scientific questionnaire and ISO analysis to analyze the situation of Civic Science and Politics practice in higher education institutions and study the root causes of the slow development of Civic Science and Politics education. There are four main factors influencing the construction process of the development of the college’s curriculum thinking politics: 69.9% believe that there is a siloed model of the college’s thinking politics theory course, 56.7% of the college’s teachers’ ability to educate people in the curriculum is not strong, 73.2% of the professional courses’ thinking politics education resources cannot be fully explored, and 51.3% of the college does not have a mechanism for judging the effectiveness of the curriculum thinking politics. The experimental results of this paper show that the ISO analysis method can be used to know the influencing factors to promote the development of thinking and political education scientifically and to propose strategies based on the problems, which can help to propose the promotion for the reform of the thinking and politics work in Chinese universities and has certain significance to continuously improve the actual effectiveness and validity of the thinking and political education work in higher education institutions, etc.

Pengembangan Bahan Ajar Berbasis Grafis dan Matematis Model ADDIE Pada Pembelajaran Teori Ekonomi Mikro

This study aims to develop teaching materials that use mathematical and graphical approaches so as to improve the learning outcomes of Economics Education students. The method used in the preparation of microeconomic teaching materials is the ADDIE model development method (Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, Evaluate). This graphic and mathematical-based microeconomic teaching material is applied to three classes of microeconomic theory courses in 2022. The results of the research at the student needs analysis stage found that most students were still constrained in learning microeconomics in the graphics and calculation sections, most of them needed a more concise and detailed book for the discussion of curves and calculations. The design stage, namely the validation of the content of economic material carried out by experts, has a feasibility percentage of 73%. The development stage is carried out by readjusting the Sub-CPMK and graphic and mathematical approach material. The implementation stage is carried out in 3 classes for 14 meetings. The evaluation stage is carried out by UTS with an average completeness of learning outcomes of 73% and UAS as much as 89% of 103 students.

Theorizing as a pedagogical project: how to teach theorizing in social work doctoral education

ABSTRACT Social work doctoral education is charged with developing stewards of the discipline who can contribute to conserving professional values and generating knowledge to serve marginalized populations and society at large. However, recent studies on doctoral education found that there have been (1) unbalanced curricula between research courses and other courses, such as critical theories and ethics; and (2) a significant gap between research and social justice in doctoral education. Inspired by Swedberg’s work on ‘a process of theorizing’ as a pedagogical project, I have incorporated his ideas into the teaching of a critical theory course in a social work doctoral program. This article aims to articulate how I taught theorizing: I provide an overview of the course, demonstrate how I explain theorizing to students, and outline dialectics of teaching between theories and theorizing to be considered when developing a critical theory course in a doctoral curriculum. I discuss a pedagogical stance and the role of the teacher in theorizing, and suggest practical exercises (such as a ‘theory note’) to assist students in developing their skills in theorizing. Finally, I reflect on lessons learned from teaching this critical theory course, including how I have negotiated with student resistance to theorizing.

The Studio in the Seminar: Performing Theory in an MFA Classroom

This article describes an "Introduction to Performance Theory" course that the authors co-teach to MFA students at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York. Through the semester, we track genealogies of performance studies, highlighting the ways in which our interdiscipline has been incorporated as an academic field while still remaining sensationally unsettled in its interventions, methods, and objects of analysis. The focus of this article is on the ways we have tailored a performance theory course to serve MFA students—artists and makers across genre and discipline. The article offers our syllabus and ten practice-based assignments to illustrate how we encourage the artists in our class to engage with critical theory and performance studies scholarship in an embodied way. Bringing the studio into the seminar, our MFA students stage performance experiments related to each week’s readings. Our syllabus is accompanied by a reflection on co-teaching performance studies as a dynamic couple form that itself constitutes a performance of pedagogy, an enactment of sociality, and an embodiment of theory.

Study on the Integration and Innovation Pathways of Etiquette Culture in Ceramic Design Theory Courses at Higher Education Institutions

Etiquette culture serves as the core of Chinese traditional cultural values, possessing rich spiritual connotations and significant importance. Currently, ceramic design theory courses in higher education institutions are facing a series of challenges. Design education overly emphasizes the adaptability of course content to social demands, to some extent neglecting the intrinsic humanistic spirit. By employing approaches such as "illuminating etiquette through vessels," "comparing virtues with vessels," and "upholding both art and virtue," and utilizing objects as carriers, the fusion of etiquette culture with ceramic design theory courses can enhance the cultural literacy and spiritual horizons of design talents, achieving a subtle and unobtrusive educational impact.

Study on Classroom Management Optimization of Ideological and Political Theory Courses in Colleges and Universities

Ideological and political theory course is one of the important ways for college students to establish a scientific world outlook, outlook on life and values. At the same time, as an important starting point of ideological and political work, ideological and political theory courses in colleges and universities play a very important role in promoting the reform and innovation of ideological and political work. At present, there are some problems in the classroom management of ideological and political theory courses in colleges and universities, such as teachers’ lack of control, college students’ lack of interest in ideological and political theory courses and teachers’ neglect of the construction of the psychological environment of ideological and political theory courses. From the perspective of classroom management, this paper proposes to strengthen teachers’ management consciousness and improve teachers’ control. Correct understanding of thought course, stimulate students learning motivation; Strengthen the effective communication between teachers and students, construct the classroom psychological environment and other countermeasures. So as to improve the effect of ideological and political theory course classroom management.

Internet-Based Lifelong Learning: Implications for Language Teaching and Semiotic Structure Principles in Media Sociology and Religion Sociology

In the course of science theory, when we deal with the subject of language teaching in the context of semiotic structure principle developments as well as in the course of the media culture and religious sciences, it shows that in numerous contributions concerning this subject area there is a complaint that the aporetic treatment and integration of language and religious history [Sprachgeschichte/Religionsgeschichte] in the sense of an internal and external language and religious history should be taken into account [1]. The associated diachrony of historical linguistics is said to be not only relevant but also sufficiently socially systemic and imminently codependent for its constitution [2]. There is talk of a "step child," of "marginal permanence," and even of a malicious deletion from facultative curricula since the international history of language and language teaching is said to be hardly fruitful, especially in view of a problem-oriented approach, obviously not having any relevance for the present constantly transforming, media- and religion-sociology-oriented reality of life and work (paper presented at the Ecumenical and Pedagogy of Religion Colloquium, "Dimensions of Education," at the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Torun, on October 11, 2007, in Torun). The author of this paper does not wish to join in this lament about the "Geschichtslosigkeit und Religionslosigkeit" [historical unawareness] regarding time and language, with its sustainable effect on international language and religion teaching, since in recent years, there have been some astonishing changes in perspective, signaling a big opportunity in terms of a substantial paradigm shift for international language teaching – the subject of lifelong learning.

Research on the Integration of Online and Offline Teaching Forms of Ideological and Political Theory Courses in the Context of the COVID-19

In the context of the epidemic situation, in combination with the actual situation of teachers and students, organize teachers to carry out online teaching in different levels and categories, promote the quality and efficiency of classroom teaching, actively promote the curriculum construction and "cloud teaching+ideological and political" teaching, at the same time, combine the anti-epidemic materials to play the role of ideological and political course ideological guidance and value guidance, enrich and expand the new connotation of ideological and political education. The article expounds the theoretical construction of the offline ideological and political education model for epidemic prevention and control and puts forward the practical content of "five in one" and "ten emphases" based on the actual work, to provide some practical countermeasures and suggestions for the online ideological and political education.

Rational Practice and Deep Reflection on Integrating Ideological and Political Theory Courses into College Physical Education Teaching

Based on the research on the practical teaching system of ideological and political theory courses in physical education institutions, combined with the practices and experiences accumulated in the practical teaching of ideological and political theory courses in Harbin Institute of Physical Education in recent years, this paper attempts to propose the basic composition, innovative expansion, and operational guarantee of the practical teaching system of ideological and political theory courses in physical education institutions. It is expected to provide valuable reference for the construction and reform of practical teaching of ideological and political theory courses in national universities. The discipline of physical education itself has inherent advantages in ideological and political education work. However, the various problems that have permeated the existing teaching process also require substantive adjustments in the future education process, especially the connection between the current development status of physical education teaching in universities and future education work, which is the core content of the current situation.

Using an Accelerated Undergraduate Needs Finding Course to Build Skills, Inspire Confidence, and Promote Interest in Health Technology Innovation.

Many undergraduate educational experiences in biomedical design lack clinical immersion-based needs finding training for students. Convinced of the merits of this type of training for undergraduates, but unable to offer a quarter-long course due to faculty and administrative constraints, we developed an accelerated block-plan course, during which students were dedicated solely to our class for 3 weeks. The course focused on the earliest stages of the health technology innovation process-conducting effective clinical observations and performing comprehensive need research and screening. We grounded the course in experiential learning theory (with hands-on, collaborative, and immersive experiences) and constructivist learning theory (where students integrated prior knowledge with new material on need-driven innovation). This paper describes the design of this intensive block-plan course and the teaching methods intended to support the achievement of five learning objectives. We used pre- and post-course surveys to gather self-reported data about the effect of the course on student learning. Despite the accelerated format, we saw statistically significant gains for all but one sub-measure across the learning objectives. Our experience supports key benefits of the block-plan model, and the results indicate that specific course design choices were effective in achieving positive learning outcomes. These design decisions include (1) opportunities for students to practice observations before entering the clinical setting; (2) a framework for the curriculum that reinforced important concepts iteratively throughout the program; (3) balanced coverage of preparation, clinical immersion, and need research; (4) extensive faculty and peer coaching; and (5) providing hands-on prototyping opportunities while staying focused on need characterization rather than solution development. Based on our experience, we expect that this model is replicable across institutions with limited bandwidth to support clinical immersion opportunities.

An efficient method for ideological and political education quality evaluation of colleges and universities with 2-tuple linguistic neutrosophic sets

Improving college students’ satisfaction with the teaching quality of ideological and political theory courses in colleges and universities is the need to promote college students to consciously fulfill their ideological and political quality, and it is also the need to further form a strong driving force for the teaching reform of ideological and political theory courses in colleges and universities. The requirements of teaching level are also the requirements to further enhance the competitiveness of colleges and universities. The ideological and political education quality (IPEQ) evaluation of college students is looked as multiple attribute group decision-making (MAGDM) problem. In this paper, the 2-tuple linguistic neutrosophic TOPSIS (2TLN-TOPSIS) model is built based on the traditional TOPSIS and 2-tuple linguistic neutrosophic sets (2TLNSs). Firstly, the 2TLNSs is introduced. Then, combine the TOPSIS model with 2TLNSs, the 2TLN-TOPSIS model is established for MAGDM. Finally, a numerical example for IPEQ evaluation of College students have been given and some comparisons are also conducted to further illustrate advantages of the 2TLN-TOPSIS method.

Using Kolb's Experiential Learning Theory to Improve Student Learning in Theory Course

Abstract : Data structures and Algorithms (DSA) is a mandatory course for all discipline students to get placement in IT companies and to participate in competitive examinations including GATE and TANCET for their higher studies in a computer science discipline. DSA course focuses on how to organize, manage and store data in an efficient manner, which facilitates to access data easily and at a faster rate. Different types of data structures, its functionality and its applicability are discussed in this course. At the end of the course, students will have the capability to identify the suitable data structure for a problem. Due to its importance and complexity, pressure will be created on faculty members, who are handling this course. From the perspective of the student, some students understand the concept but lack knowledge of how to apply it. The majority of students struggle to comprehend the data structure and are perplexed by it. Recent work focuses on how faculty members play a major role in active learning like developing models to explain the concept, conducting activities like role play, think-pair share, flipped classrooms and so on. In this work, a study was conducted in the course DSA which focused on reflective practice led by David Kolb's experiential learning theory. An experiment was conducted during Academic Year 2021-22 (Odd) in the course 18CS340 – Data Structures and Algorithms for a set of 54 students. It is inferred that the student gained a higher or deeper knowledge level in this course and is confident to identify appropriate data structures for real world problems. By engaging in reflective practice, faculty members can think around and reflect on their experiences, learn from them, make changes, and enhance their learning and instructional skills.
