Research on the School-Running Efficiency of Ordinary Universities in the Western Region Based on the Combined Model

Yan Zhao — 2025-02-27

Efficiency is one of the core elements in the "outcome evaluation" within the educational evaluation in the new era. To investigate the differences and dynamic evolution of the efficiency level of ordinary universities in various provinces of western China, this study uses the PCA-DEA combination model from the perspective of input-output to measure the efficiency of universities in various provinces of western China from 2012 to 2021.Research shows that the overall efficiency of ordinary universities in the western region is in a non-effective state, with 70.8% of decision-making units achieving pure technical efficiency effectiveness, and the vast majority of decision-making units in a state of constant or increasing returns to scale. The overall efficiency of universities in the western region fluctuates relatively greatly, with a positive trend. However, there are significant differences in total factor productivity changes between different provinces. Finally, based on the research conclusions, corresponding countermeasures and suggestions are proposed.

Chen Jiao — 2025-02-27

This study aims to investigate the impacts of LLS AI-enhanced LLS instruction on the English performance of college underachieving EFL learners. Language learning strategies (LLS) are crucial for English language learning, but few studies exist on LLS instruction for EFL underachievers, highlighting further research needs. This study investigates the frequency and preference of language learning strategies used by EFL underachievers and the impact in increasing their strategy application and English academic achievement. The research involved 450 Chinese EFL college learners and 40 Chinese EFL learners, using the Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL), CET-4, and college English final exam. The results showed that underachievers perceived LLS instruction positively, improved their LLS application, and had a positive effect on their English learning skills and academic achievement. The study revealed the effect of LLS instruction and generated an efficient LLS instruction model on underachieving learners and made a useful attempt in the field of research on LLS of vocational EFL college learners. Further research may investigate the hidden influence factors of LLS use of college underachievers.

Exploring the Significance of Adolescent Sex Education Based on Social Media

Shaoxin Zheng — 2025-02-27

This study aims to explore the presentation of adolescent sex education in socialized media and its impact on adolescents, especially the role of social platforms and network culture in teenage sex education. Through a review of relevant literature in recent years, the study analyzed the diverse presentation of social media in the communication of sex education and its positive and negative effects. The study finds that social media provide abundant sex education resources for adolescents, especially content related to sexual health, gender awareness, and emotion management, but it is also accompanied by problems such as false information, over-gendering or inaccurate gender role modelling;. However, social platforms can break through the limitations of the traditional education system and provide more personalized and immediate education content, in the absence of effective guidance and supervision, it is easy to lead adolescents to have a negative attitude towards sex education. Although social platforms can break through the limitations of the traditional education system to provide more personalized and immediate educational content, the lack of effective guidance and supervision can easily lead to misunderstandings and the deepening of gender stereotypes. This study suggests that adolescent sexuality education should collaborate with social media platforms to promote the dissemination of scientific, comprehensive and inclusive sexuality education content and to strengthen the guiding roles of parents, schools and the government to minimize possible negative impacts.

Zheng Xianlang — 2025-03-31

Nowadays, the world situation is changing, the new crown epidemic affects the whole world, the global situation continues to be in the doldrums, in this case, China's epidemic prevention and control achievements are outstanding, able to buck the trend of steady development. The development of the country will inevitably promote the spread of language, I believe that soon there will be a new round of “Chinese fever”. International Chinese language education, with its mission of teaching Chinese language and spreading language and culture, deserves our in-depth study. In the post epidemic era, how to better develop the discipline system of international Chinese language education? How to better develop the cause of international Chinese language education? It is precisely the problem that this paper aims to study.

At present, the name of international Chinese language education has been formalized, marking the expansion of the scope of this discipline and the improvement of its status. In the development of things, there are both favorable and unfavorable conditions, and if we want to achieve further development, we must first have a systematic grasp of things as a whole. The development of international Chinese language education is also like this, and it is bound to face both opportunities and challenges at the same time. Therefore, the authors have reviewed the relevant data, considered all the factors of the development of international Chinese language education in a qualitative way, and integrated them organically with SWOT and PEST analyses. Finally, the authors come up with specific enhancement strategies that can make the development of international Chinese language education possible.

Markedness Theory and Universal Grammar in Chinese Language Acquisition

Hanqiang li — 2025-03-24

In the field of international Chinese language education, the study of markedness theory and universal grammar is crucial for a deeper understanding of the Chinese language acquisition process among learners from different native language backgrounds. Markedness theory posits that linguistic structures can be categorized into marked and unmarked based on their frequency and regularity in language. Marked structures are typically more complex and less frequently used, whereas unmarked structures are relatively simpler and more commonly used. This study investigates Chinese language learners from various native language backgrounds, employing a mixed-methods approach that combines quantitative and qualitative research methods. Data were collected from learners whose native languages include English, Japanese, Korean, Thai, and Vietnamese. The findings reveal that the parameter settings of learners' native languages significantly influence their acquisition of Chinese parameter settings. When the parameter values of learners' native languages align closely with those of Chinese, their performance in Chinese parameter settings is notably better. Therefore, educators can tailor teaching content and methods based on learners' native language backgrounds. Additionally, marked structures present greater difficulty in Chinese language acquisition compared to unmarked structures. Unmarked structures, being simpler, more basic, and more common, are acquired more quickly by learners. In contrast, marked structures, due to their complexity and rarity, pose significant challenges for learners. This insight is particularly important in teaching practice, as educators need to pay greater attention to marked structures to help learners overcome these difficulties.
