PATH DIFFERENTIATION AND EFFECT EVALUATION OF CULTIVATION MODE REFORM FOR GRADUATE STUDENTS' RESEARCH INTEREST: A LONGITUDINAL CASE STUDY BASED ON GUANGDONG UNIVERSITY OF FOREIGN STUDIES
The stimulation and cultivation of graduate students' research interest is a core issue in the cultivation of top-notch innovative talents. Addressing the methodological limitation of existing literature that lacks longitudinal comparative research on evolutionary trajectories, this study takes economics and management graduate students at Guangdong University of Foreign Studies as case subjects, adopts a longitudinal qualitative research method, and conducts three rounds of follow-up interviews over 18 months with six graduate students from two types of cultivation programs (academic degree and professional degree), systematically examining the dynamic evolutionary trajectories of research interest and their key mechanisms of transformation under different cultivation modes. The findings reveal that: (1) Under the two cultivation modes, graduate students' research interest presents differentiated longitudinal evolutionary trajectories — the academic degree mode exhibits an "initial rise then fall" inverted U-shape, while the professional degree mode exhibits a "gradual rise then stabilization" asymptote shape; (2) Cultivation modes shape the evolutionary trajectories of research interest by influencing the frequency, type distribution, and transformation efficacy of key events; (3) The two modes each have their own advantages and limitations across three dimensions—interest stimulation efficiency, maintenance resilience, and transformation efficacy—and there is no single optimal mode. This study provides empirical evidence and practical pathways for universities to design differentiated graduate cultivation modes.

THE FORMATION OF INTERCULTURAL IDENTITY AMONG INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS IN CHINA: A GENERATIVE STRUCTURALISM PERSPECTIVE
The identification of international students with Chinese culture is formed in a dynamic way and also reconstructed during cross-cultural interaction, and it shows some typical characteristics of intercultural identity. This study is based on Bourdieu's generative structure theory and the "Field-Capital-Habitus" framework. It uses qualitative research method, and carries out one year follow up interviews and observations with 10 international students from 8 countries. The research finds that when international students enter into the education field in China, they experience the process of accumulating Chinese language capital, dealing with culture shock, facing stereotypes, and adjusting their own habits, so as to gain an advantage in academic competition. They gradually absorb and combine Chinese culture from surface level to middle level and then to deep level. The study shows that the experience of studying in China is an important external power for constructing cultural identity of international students toward Chinese culture. Universities should strengthen the Chinese learning environment by improving curriculum design, building cross cultural support system, enhancing teachers intercultural ability, and giving different guidance, so as to continuously promote the high quality development of international Chinese education.

EXPLORING THE DILEMMAS AND INNOVATIVE PATHWAYS OF AI-EMPOWERED ETHNIC MUSIC EDUCATION IN HIGHER INSTITUTIONS UNDER THE "BUILDING A STRONG EDUCATION NATION" STRATEGY
The core of building a leading nation in education lies in implementing the fundamental mission of cultivating virtue and nurturing talent, and in fostering the deep integration of education, science and technology, and human resources. This entails constructing an educational system characterized by six key attributes—including ideological and political guidance, talent competitiveness, and technological support. A primary focus is placed on establishing eight major subsystems, encompassing the cultivation of character and spirit, basic education, vocational education, and higher education. Fundamentally, this approach is people-centered; within this context, ethnic music education in higher institutions serves not merely as a means of training specialized professionals, but more importantly, as a vital vehicle for fostering cultural confidence and preserving China's outstanding traditional culture. Artificial intelligence (AI) has opened new avenues for the preservation and innovation of ethnic music education; indeed, the integration of AI into higher education institutions represents a transformative pathway for revitalizing this field. However, the AI-enabled advancement of ethnic music education in higher institutions currently faces numerous challenges. Grounded in the strategic imperatives of building a leading nation in education, this paper explores the specific dilemmas confronting the integration of AI and ethnic music education in higher institutions. It identifies innovative pathways for their deep integration, leverages the value of AI empowerment, and aims to drive the high-quality development of ethnic music education in higher institutions—thereby ensuring the "living transmission" of ethnic music in the digital era and solidifying the foundations of cultural and aesthetic education.

IMPLEMENTATION PATHWAYS OF "CURRICULUM–CERTIFICATION INTEGRATION" WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF SECONDARY–HIGHER VOCATIONAL EDUCATION ARTICULATION
In the context of deepening reforms in vocational education, the integration of secondary and higher vocational education faces challenges such as curriculum redundancy and low alignment between certificates and job requirements, which constrain students’ skill development and the efficiency of educational resources. Based on policy guidance and practical needs, and drawing on successful international experience, this study employs literature research, case analysis, and questionnaire surveys, taking institutions such as Lanzhou Modern Vocational College as research samples to explore the connotation and value of “curriculum–certificate integration” under the perspective of secondary–higher vocational education integration. The findings show that the current curriculum overlap rate reaches 42%, and the alignment rate between certificates and job positions is only 32%. The study proposes a “vocational ability–curriculum–certificate” mapping mechanism, establishing practical pathways such as “school–enterprise co-construction, modular curriculum development, and digital empowerment.” Empirical results indicate that after implementation, students’ certificate pass rates in-creased by 26 percentage points, employment rates improved by 23 percentage points, and the proportion of teachers meeting enterprise practice requirements rose from 52% to 88%. The study concludes that “curriculum–certificate integration” within the framework of secondary–higher vocational education not only promotes continuous curriculum progression and hierarchical skill development but also provides a practical pathway and model for deepening industry–education integration and supporting the development of new-quality productive forces.

DIGITAL MARTIAL ARTS ENTERING CAMPUSES: WEARABLE-FREE SOMATOSENSORY TECHNOLOGY EMPOWERS TEACHING INNOVATION, CULTURAL INHERITANCE, AND PSYCHOLOGICAL EMPOWERMENT
Against the dual backdrop of educational digital transformation and the inheritance of excellent traditional Chinese culture, the integration of digital martial arts into campuses faces core challenges: insufficient teaching standardization, superficial cultural dissemination, and a lack of psychological empowerment. Based on a wearable-free somatosensory technology platform certified by the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and supported by multiple national invention patents, this study systematically constructs a trinity model for digital martial arts campus integration—"digital teaching-immersive cultural inheritance-psychological empowerment"—integrating multi-modal AI and a dual-core digital coach system. Technically, it highlights the core advantages of wearable-free somatosensory technology, the precise adaptability of multi-modal AI, and the digital coach’s dual system ("time-travel learning + intelligent scoring"), with dual adherence to national martial arts teaching standards and mental health assessment criteria to enhance technical authority. In practice, through three dimensions—standardized teaching, immersive cultural inheritance, and psychological-emotional sub-services—it realizes the digital evolution of martial arts teaching skills and methods, while integrating psychological-emotional detection and intervention as an integral sub-item throughout the teaching process. This research provides technical support and practical paradigms for the integration of digital martial arts into campuses, helping teenagers improve skills, inherit culture, and develop sound personalities through martial arts learning.

BUILDING PRACTICAL TEACHING BASES FOR TOURISM MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS IN THE CONTEXT OF HOLISTIC EDUCATION: A CASE STUDY OF GUANGZHOU NANSHA GRAND HOTEL
Against the backdrop of the new era's ideological and political work system in higher education, the “Three-Dimensional Education” approach has emerged as a crucial concept for deepening the integration of professional education with value-oriented guidance. This paper addresses the practical teaching reform needs of applied undergraduate tourism management programs, using the Guangzhou Nansha Grand Hotel Practical Teaching Base as a case study. It systematically analyzes the functions and shortcomings of practical teaching bases in three dimensions—whole-staff, whole-process, and whole-spectrum education—regarding the integration of ideological and political education, university-enterprise collaborative education mechanisms, and the implementation and evaluation systems of practical courses. Research indicates that current tourism management practice bases commonly exhibit issues such as “emphasizing skills over values,” “prioritizing internships over education,” and “focusing on form over mechanism.” To address these issues, this paper proposes a transformation strategy centered on Party building and ideological-political leadership. Key pathways include: refining university-enterprise collaborative governance structures; establishing an integrated matrix linking curriculum, job roles, and ideological-political objectives; implementing a dual-mentor system involving both academic and industry mentors; and developing a practice-based teaching evaluation system that equally emphasizes both process and outcomes. This approach aims to evolve practice-based teaching bases from mere “skills training grounds” into “collaborative education communities.” The research conclusions offer replicable practical models for the development of practice-based teaching bases in tourism management and related programs at applied undergraduate institutions.

HOW DO KEY EVENTS INSPIRE AN INTEREST IN SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH: QUALITATIVE CASE AND CONFIGURATION PATH ANALYSIS OF TOP INNOVATIVE TALENT CULTIVATION IN ECONOMICS AND MANAGEMENT
The core of cultivating top-notch innovative talents lies in stimulating their intrinsic motivation. Through in-depth interviews with 35 graduate students and their supervisors in the field of economics and management, this paper explores which key moments, events, and situations during the graduate student training process can effectively trigger and consolidate students' research interests. The study adopts a method combining multiple case studies and fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis to identify four key events: "institutional opportunities", "relationship embedding", "curricular collision", and "practical refinement". A three-dimensional explanatory framework of "individual readiness - event impact - environmental support" is constructed. Qualitative and configurational analysis jointly reveal that the formation of high research interests follows the logic of "multiple concurrent" and "different paths leading to the same destination", and there are three core paths - "institutional empowerment breakthrough", "mentorship cultivation growth", and "practical feedback epiphany". This study deepens the understanding of the dynamic formation process of research interests and provides theoretical basis and practical implications for universities to optimize the training model of top-notch innovative talents through precise design and intervention of key events.

THE PHENOMENON OF "ALGORITHM ADDICTION" ON SHORT VIDEO PLATFORMS: THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN STUDENTS’ USAGE TIME AND ALGORITHM RECOMMENDATIONS
The recommendation algorithms of short video platforms, by continuously pushing content that is "more likely to be viewed," may alter users' attention allocation and usage time structure, thus sparking the controversy surrounding "algorithm addiction." This paper takes university students as the research subject and proposes an operational empirical research framework focusing on the coupling relationship between usage time and algorithm recommendations. While preserving real-world usage scenarios, it records students' short video usage time, conversation frequency, and characteristics of recommended stream content, and performs correlation analysis with individual difference indicators to examine whether algorithm recommendations are significantly correlated with behaviors such as increased usage time, repeated visits, and deep immersion. Methodologically, the study emphasizes reproducibility and comparability: by using a unified recording template and a hierarchical indicator system, a structured explanation of the "algorithm addiction" phenomenon is formed, providing empirical evidence and quantifiable references for digital health education and platform governance.

PROTAGORAS: THE SIGNIFICANCE OF HIPPOCRATES IN PLATO’S DIALOGUE
In Protagoras , a dialogue by Plato, the role of a Hippocrates as a doctor is introduced abruptly to a gathering of sophists, where Protagoras, a renowned sophist teaches virtue to help people navigate legal troubles. However, the doctor's role is significantly overshadowed by the rhetoric of Socrates, his companion, who challenges Protagoras to instruct the doctor in the virtues of a better existence, thereby questioning Protagoras' authority. Socrates' search for flaws in sophistic arguments embodies a critique of sophistry and its understanding of virtue and wisdom. The satirical implications of Hippocrates reveal the ignorance inherent in relativism and the fallacious wisdom propagated by sophists, as well as a probable deeper perspective with regard to the Athenian education. This paper will analyze the significance of the doctor as a central figure in Plato's writing, concluding that the doctor serves as a means for Socrates to challenge Protagoras, but also embodies Plato's critique to sophistry and its role in Athenian education, enhancing the satirical depth of this written work.

THE BLENDED TEACHING REFORM OF “SIGNALS AND SYSTEMS” COURSE EMPOWERED BY ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Aiming at the prominent pain points in the traditional teaching of Signals and Systems, such as compressed class hours, fragmented resources, weak practical links, and time and space constraints on teacher-student interaction, combined with the strategic requirements of the Ministry of Education for the development of “Artificial Intelligence+Higher Education”, this research carries out an exploration of AI-empowered blended teaching reform of the course. A “Four-in-One” blended curriculum system integrating classroom learning, AI teaching assistant accompanied learning, resource expansion and practical teaching is constructed. By deeply integrating generative AI large models, the three maps of knowledge, ability and quality with the BOPPPS teaching model, a smart teaching community with the ternary interaction of “Teachers-Students-Machines” is created. Taking the Sampling Theorem as an example, a 100-minute teaching implementation process is designed, with AI technology embedded in all links of teaching and learning from the pre-class BOP, in-class P to post-class PS. The research results show that this teaching reform model effectively solves the problems of traditional teaching, improves students’ engineering practical ability, autonomous learning ability and team cooperation ability, and at the same time enhances teachers’ teaching efficiency. The formed teaching plan has good popularizability and transplantability, providing a reference paradigm for the smart teaching reform of basic courses for electronic information majors.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN YOUNG CHILDREN’S GRAPHIC NARRATIVE SKILLS AND READING BEHAVIOR: INSIGHTS FROM THE MATTHEW EFFECT
This study examines the relationship between children's storytelling abilities and reading behavior, comparing those with high and low abilities. Using the Matthew Effect, it suggests that children with high skills demonstrate greater engagement and attention in reading, strengthening their language and reading abilities through feedback loops. Twenty kindergarteners were assessed for narrative skills, and four were selected for six weeks of observation to record reading during self-directed activities. Results showed that high-picture-reading kids showed stronger interest and better attention, while low-picture-reading kids showed less interest, poor attention, and more distracted reading. This finding confirms the positive relationship between reading and storytelling and reading behavior in children, validating the Matthew effect. The researcher suggests three targeted educational recommendations.

FROM OUTSIDERS TO INSIDERS: THE CORRELATION BETWEEN CROSS-CULTURAL ADAPTATION AND BASIC PSYCHOLOGICAL NEEDS OF INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS
With the development of international education, the number of students studying abroad is increasing. Cross-cultural adaptation issues have become an inevitable problem for them. Based on basic psychological needs theory, this empirical study selected 105 Chinese students who are studying at the tertiary level in the United Kingdom and New Zealand as samples to verify the cross-cultural adaptation process and basic psychological needs of international students. Through questionnaires and semi-structured interviews, it is found that the main reasons for the cultural shock experienced by Chinese international students are differences in the higher education between China and English-speaking countries, language ability and academic literacy problems, while the cultural shock caused by life adaptation problems is not obvious. It is also verified that the satisfaction of basic psychological needs is negatively correlated with the negative impact brought by the culture shock. The satisfaction of basic psychological needs enables international students to have a higher learning motivation, and also enables foreign students to have the motivation to study when facing difficulties in a foreign country, as well as the determination to support themselves not to compromise with difficulties.

ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF ADVANCED EDUCATIONAL STRATEGIES ON LEARNING OUTCOMES IN RURAL COMMUNITIES: A CASE STUDY OF CHIUNDA PONDE IN LUVUSHIMADA DISTRICT
This research focuses on the effects of innovative learning and teaching methodologies on achieving educational goals and objectives in rural communities through a case study of Chiunda Ponde School in Luvushimada District, Zambia. Education in Zambia, as with other rural counterparts around the world, is a challenge due to limited resources, few and scarcely qualified teachers and socio-economically related factors. This research assesses the applicability of new strategies, including technology-integrated education, communal support structures, and culturally sensitive teaching strategies, to these challenges. The methods used in the super-vice learning study include qualitative interviews with individual teachers and other members of the community. The quantitative analysis used student performance data obtained over two consecutive years. Findings suggest that high-level approaches, such as the facilities of learning technologies in literacy and numeracy and advanced teacher training, enhanced students’ achievement. However, the participation of the communities in the education advancement enhanced parental participation and promoted the creation of an appropriate learning atmosphere for the students. Regarding the principle of targeted educational approaches, this case displays the optimistic opportunity of bridging the education divide in the rural and urban sectors. It focuses on policies concerning resource distribution, teacher professional development, and culturally responsive approaches in the teaching system in rural areas. In this regard, the results enrich the global conversation about the negations of inclusive education and co-enlightenment for sustainable development in such resketching areas as Chiunda Ponde.
