An Analysis of the Impacts of Short-Video Recommendation Algorithms on Students' Content Viewing Preferences
Widely adopted by students for both information access and daily leisure, short video platforms use personalized recommendation systems to steadily shape teenagers’ content choices and viewing habits. This article explores the mechanism by which short video recommendation algorithms affect the content preferences of students at different educational stages. The research adopts the method of literature analysis, integrates the online survey of minors in China Internet Network Information Center, the questionnaire of college students' media behavior, and the relevant results of Tsinghua University's media and information cocoon research, and conducts a comprehensive analysis in combination with communication literature. Research data show that most students passively receive algorithm-recommended content and have insufficient willingness to actively retrieve information. The algorithm relies on user tags to achieve precise distribution, which can not only broaden students' extracurricular knowledge boundaries, but also easily solidify their interest orientation, thereby forming an information cocoon. Students tend to view content that is more entertaining and fragmented, which will continue to weaken their ability to engage in deep viewing and independent thinking. Based on the cognitive development laws of adolescents, this article dialectically analyzes the dual impact of algorithms and proposes improvement ideas from the perspectives of individuals, platforms, campus education, and industry supervision, which can provide practical references for media literacy cultivation, algorithm optimization, and online protection of minors.

Exploration of the Project-Based Teaching Model for the HTML5 Application Development Fundamentals Course under the Concept of Outcome-Based Education
The Outcome-Based Education (OBE) concept emphasizes a student-centered, learning-outcomes-oriented approach, providing important theoretical support for vocational education curriculum reform. As a core foundational course in Software Technology, the traditional teaching model of HTML5 Application Development Fundamentals suffers from problems such as disconnection between theory and practice and misalignment between teaching content and job requirements. Based on the OBE concept, this paper constructs a "backward design, forward implementation" project-based teaching model for the course, systematically exploring aspects including job requirement analysis, learning outcome identification, teaching content reconstruction, project system design, and establishment of diversified evaluation mechanisms. Research demonstrates that the project-based teaching model based on OBE concept can effectively enhance students' HTML5 application development abilities, professional competencies, and innovative thinking, providing a referable paradigm for teaching reform in computer-related courses.

English Teaching and the Cultivation of Core Competencies: Theory, Practice, and Implications for English Education
In recent years, competency-based education has become a dominant trend in educational reform worldwide. Rather than emphasizing the accumulation of linguistic knowledge alone, contemporary English language teaching (ELT) aims to cultivate learners’ comprehensive abilities, including language competence, critical thinking, cultural awareness, and autonomous learning. In China, the English Curriculum Standards for Compulsory Education (2022 Edition) identify four dimensions of core competencies—language ability, cultural awareness, thinking quality, and learning ability—as the fundamental objectives of English education. Consequently, English teachers are expected to shift from knowledge-oriented instruction to competency-oriented teaching that supports students’ holistic development.

Emotional Healing Solutions for Childhood Trauma Affecting Parent-child Interaction
Trauma in early life significantly affects a person's emotions and behaviour as a result; it often manifests in parenting behaviour and interaction with children. This paper studies the intergenerational transmission of trauma and presents all-encompassing emotional healing strategies to reduce the harm caused to the parent-child relationship. Based on the general ideas of psychoanalysis and present-day neurobiology and attachment theory, this paper investigates how unresolved parental trauma impairs emotional co-regulation and attachment security. Three therapeutic systems were presented to address the problem of historical injury: child-parent psychotherapy, enhancement of parental reflective functioning, and other ways. By means of multi-modal ways that pay attention to body awareness, cognitive integration and safe relational attachment, this paper proposes how parents can break the cycle of abuse and neglect in their families. Based on the above results, it is necessary to add trauma-informed approaches to the prevention plan for young children to build a stable, emotionally supportive home environment.

Discussion on the Operation and Management of International Offices in Domestic Universities under the Vision of Educational Leadership
Higher education opening-up has been accelerating in recent years. As the department responsible for foreign-related affairs in universities, how well international offices operate directly affects the quality of a university's internationalization. This article starts from the theoretical perspective of educational leadership, combined with the actual situation of domestic universities, and summarizes the practical difficulties encountered by international offices from three aspects: staffing, performance evaluation, and digital transformation. Empirical research has shown that transformational leadership has a significant positive impact on organizational performance in universities, and the improvement of educational leadership can effectively drive the improvement of management effectiveness, providing a theoretical framework for improving effectiveness in international affairs management. According to publicly available data from the Ministry of Education, as of 2024, China has established educational cooperation relationships with 183 countries and regions, and received over 500,000 students studying in China throughout the year. The contradiction between scale expansion and lagging management capabilities is gradually becoming apparent. Based on the practices of more than ten universities, this article also proposes several specific optimization ideas for reference by universities.

Analysis of the Correlation Between Interior Space Design and Psychological Healing from The Perspective of Restorative Environment Theory
The theory of a restorative environment can be used to explore the effects of built environments on psychological recovery. Although the theory was originally developed in relation to natural environments, hospitals, offices and homes are now widely known as the main settings where stress and attention-deficit restoration takes place. Research is being carried out to determine how the design of one's living environment can help the mind relax. First, briefly present the main ideas of Attention Restoration Theory and Stress Reduction Theory, and then explain how the two together suggest that exposure to certain environmental qualities can restore tired attention and help the body recover from stress. Then, based on the above restorative qualities, this paper explores how they can be incorporated into the elements of interior design, such as space organisation, light and colour, materials, views and multisensory cues. Be aware of how to create an inner world that provides relief for anxiety by producing "soft fascination", extending the present moment, and enhancing self-relations with the environment. Finally, the paper also proposes some design ideas and practical applications for building restorative interior environments in hospitals and other places that can help people's minds recover.

A Review of the Relationship Between Sensory Encoding and Lexical Encoding from the Perspective of Working Memory Development
The acquisition and retention of linguistic knowledge are based on two main processes, namely sensory encoding and lexical encoding, although their developmental relation and the working memory architecture regulating this link are not yet well understood. This research analyses the multicomponent working memory model, in particular the phonological loop and visuospatial sketchpad, in the context of the interplay of modality-specific sensory information with lexical representations as a function of age. Drawing on longitudinal developmental studies, studies on the modality effect, studies on multisensory integration and L2 acquisition, the paper argues for systematic developmental change at the sensory-lexical interface in working memory: the initial dependence on auditory sensory encoding is gradually replaced by more flexible, multimodal lexical representations as the capacity of phonological working memory and the ability for strategic encoding develops. The episodic buffer is suggested as the fundamental convergence point between multi-sensory coding and long-term lexical knowledge with ramifications for vocabulary education and future study.

How to Motivate English Underachievers in Junior High School
In the context of globalization, English learning has become one of the core contents of secondary education. However, many underachievers in junior high school face challenges in English learning, which leads to their lack of learning motivation and affects their learning effectiveness. Based on self-efficacy theory, attribution theory, and Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, this study investigates the factors affecting learning motivation among English underachievers in junior high school including lack of interest, low self-efficacy, learning anxiety, insufficient family educational support, and inadequate teaching methods. The paper proposes corresponding strategies for teachers, schools, and families to stimulate motivation. This research aims to provide a scientific basis for improving the learning effectiveness of English underachievers.

How to Cultivate Middle School Students’ Tolerance of Ambiguity in English Reading
Tolerance of Ambiguity (TOA) is a key component of learning styles, which plays a crucial role in middle school students’ English reading ability. At present, middle school students generally have a polarized phenomenon in TOA in English reading, some hinder their reading process by over-focusing on ambiguities, while others impair the depth of their comprehension by ignoring ambiguity. Based on the core concept of TOA and relevant research results, combined with the characteristics of middle school students’ English learning, this paper puts forward specific strategies for cultivating middle school students’ TOA in English reading from three dimensions: differentiated instruction, reading strategy guidance, and internal motivation stimulation, aiming to provide reference for optimizing middle school English reading teaching and improving students’ comprehensive reading ability.

How Does "Living Heritage" Enter the Heart? The Internal Logic, Practical Dilemmas, and Pathways of Hongquan (Red Fist) Integration into Middle School Ideological and Political Education
The "living inheritance" of intangible cultural heritage and the goal of "entering the mind and heart" in middle school ideological and political (I&P) courses share an isomorphism in the dimension of "the unity of knowledge and action." Based on the theory of embodied cognition, this paper demonstrates the intrinsic compatibility between the living genes of Hongquan—such as "bodily presence," "life embeddedness," and "dynamic meaning generation"—and the logic of ideological and political education. It examines the practical dilemmas faced in integrating Hongquan into middle school I&P courses, including fragmented resources, absence of embodied experience in curriculum design, formalistic activities, and simplistic evaluation. Furthermore, it constructs a four-dimensional practical pathway of "living resource repository—embodied experience chain—extended experience field—embodied growth portfolio," elucidating the synergistic mechanism of "supply—transformation—deepening—feedback." This pathway provides a practical plan for the campus-based living inheritance of local intangible cultural heritage, and also offers new ideas for resolving the dilemma of I&P courses where "it is easy to enter the ears but difficult to enter the heart.".

Exploration on Methods of Stimulating and Maintaining Students' English Learning Self-Efficacy
This study examines the role of student self-efficacy, the belief in one's ability to succeed, within contemporary education. Recognizing its critical impact on motivation, strategy use, and academic performance, the research addresses a practical need for classroom-based methods to cultivate this attribute. Based on Bandura's theory, it identifies four key sources of self-efficacy: mastery experiences, vicarious experiences, verbal persuasion, and emotional state. To apply the theory into practice, the article proposes three strategies for educators: training students in effective learning strategies, designing scaffolded tasks to ensure successful experiences, and utilizing relatable peer models. The study argues that intentionally fostering self-efficacy is essential for developing resilient, self-directed learners and represents a vital shift toward holistic, quality-oriented education.

Research on Curriculum Design Integrating Self-Directed Project-based Teaching
In the new era, under the reform of higher education emphasizing the cultivation of autonomous and innovative talents, traditional project-based teaching generally suffers from practical problems such as students passively completing tasks, lacking self-control, and insufficient intrinsic motivation for learning. Self-leadership theory centers on behavioral focus, natural rewards, and constructive thinking as core strategies, emphasizing individual autonomous planning, self-motivation, and cognitive optimization, providing a new theoretical perspective for reconstructing project-based teaching logic. This paper takes professional course teaching in higher education institutions as its research object, bases itself on classic theories of self-leadership, analyzes the existing pain points of project-based teaching, and systematically builds a project-based curriculum framework integrating self-leadership from three major modules: pre-class goal framework, in-class project implementation, and closed-loop post-class evaluation. It refines key teaching design points for each stage and proposes optimization paths focusing on ensuring teaching implementation, supporting course resources, and cultivating teacher abilities. The research aims to improve the theoretical system of project-based teaching, provide practical design ideas for university curriculum reform, and help cultivate new-generation university students with qualities of autonomous learning and self-development.

Assisted Cooperative Learning in Junior High English Writing as a Pedagogical Model
Cooperative learning in junior high English writing instruction faces three structural dilemmas: lack of linguistic scaffolding, delayed feedback, and the masking of individual differences. The introduction of artificial intelligence offers new possibilities to address these issues, yet the question of how AI should be integrated without undermining the democratic deliberative spirit of cooperative learning remains underexplored. Drawing on the democratic group system and the six-stage inquiry framework of cooperative learning, this study proposes the principle of AI as a negotiatory scaffold, delineates three boundaries (non-replacement of independent thinking, non-disruption of democratic negotiation, and adherence to the non-intervention principle), and analyzes three underlying mechanisms: reallocation of cognitive load, acceleration of feedback loops, and generation of metacognitive activities through contestability. On this basis, a pedagogical model for AI‑assisted cooperative learning in writing is constructed, structurally coupling the six stages of cooperative learning with AI scaffolding functions.

Her Journey: The Growth Trajectory of an Educator-Principal
This study employs life course theory to deeply analyze Principal Zhang Guimei's transformation from an ordinary teacher to an educator-principal. Focusing on three core trajectories—her educational experiences, emotional choices, and career development—this research clarifies her growth trajectory and examines how four dimensions (significant others, historical changes, individual agency, and life timing) interact to construct Zhang Guimei's unique and profound developmental path. The findings reveal that these four elements play distinctive roles of assistance, shaping, dominance, and promotion respectively, interacting and influencing each other. Among them, her husband assumed multiple functional roles, facilitating the occurrence of several critical events, such as supporting her university admission and her subsequent move to Huaping after his passing.

How Social Media Marketing Drives Purchase Intention in Fast Fashion: The Distinct Mediating Roles of Brand Trust and Consumer Engagement
While social media marketing (SMM) is widely used by fast fashion brands, the psychological and behavioral mechanisms through which it influences consumers’ purchase intention remain underexplored. Based on the stimulus–organism–response (S-O-R) theory, this study constructs a dual-mediation model to examine how three SMM dimensions—content quality, interactivity, and promotional activities—affect purchase intention via brand trust (a cognitive pathway) and consumer engagement (a behavioral pathway). A quantitative survey of 200 fast fashion consumers was analyzed using regression and Sobel tests. Results show that all three SMM dimensions positively affect purchase intention, with interactivity exerting the strongest direct effect. Brand trust partially mediates the effect of interactivity, whereas consumer engagement mediates both interactivity and promotional activities. Notably, content quality does not significantly influence consumer engagement, suggesting it may serve as a baseline expectation rather than an engagement trigger in fast fashion. These findings extend S-O-R theory by differentiating two parallel mediating pathways and offer actionable guidance for fast fashion brands seeking to optimize SMM resource allocation.

The Impact of Integrating Ice and Snow Sports into School Campuses on the Physical and Psychological Development of Primary and Secondary School Students
This study employs methods including literature review, expert interviews, field research, and logical analysis to examine the effects of integrating ice and snow sports into school curricula on enhancing the physical and psychological attributes of primary and secondary school students. The findings indicate that participation in ice and snow sports can improve overall physical fitness, foster healthy bodily development, enhance cardiorespiratory functions, and ameliorate suboptimal health conditions. Additionally, these sports cultivate a positive mindset, elevate psychological health, and nurture team spirit, thereby contributing to the all-around development of students. However, current initiatives face several challenges: inadequate equipment, limited venues and practice time; pressures from exam-oriented education and safety concerns compounded by insufficient family support; a need for improved school-based curriculum development and a more robust evaluation system for ice and snow sports; and a shortage of physical education teachers equipped to support these programs, resulting in a lack of in-depth specialized courses. In response to these challenges, the paper proposes targeted optimization strategies: school leadership must prioritize physical education and establish a dedicated working group for campus-based ice and snow sports; logistical departments should implement tailored support measures to ensure the construction and maintenance of appropriate facilities and equipment; teachers should fully deploy comprehensive ice and snow sports curricula to secure sufficient, high-quality participation opportunities; and coordinated efforts among government, schools, families, and communities are essential to create diverse participation scenarios and a conducive atmosphere for ice and snow sports. This research aims to provide strategic recommendations for advancing the integration of ice and snow sports into school environments and further promoting the physical and psychological development of primary and secondary school students.

Integration of Professional and Innovation-Entrepreneurship Education in the "Signals and Systems" Course: A Three-Stage Pedagogical Model and Practice
Against the backdrop of "Emerging Engineering Education" (NEE) initiatives, the deep integration of professional education with innovation and entrepreneurship education has become a critical direction for reform in higher engineering education. This paper addresses the persistent challenges in teaching the core course "Signals and Systems" for electronic information majors, including excessive theoretical abstraction, disconnection from engineering practice, and insufficient innovation cultivation. We propose a three-stage pedagogical model characterized by progressive advancement through "theoretical construction—engineering practice—innovation expansion." By developing four representative teaching cases—audio noise reduction based on frequency-domain analysis, wireless sensor network data acquisition based on the sampling theorem, millimeter-wave radar signal processing based on system function analysis, and switched-mode power supply control based on Laplace transform- the model bridges core knowledge points such as convolution theorem, Nyquist sampling theorem, system function, and Laplace transform with authentic industrial scenarios. This approach achieves a pedagogical transformation from "knowledge transmission" to "competency cultivation" and "innovation enlightenment." Practical implementation demonstrates that this model effectively enhances students' engineering capabilities and entrepreneurial awareness, providing a replicable and scalable paradigm for the integration of professional and innovation-entrepreneurship education in analogous courses.

Application of Online and Offline Hybrid Teaching in Sand Table Teaching
To address the limitations of traditional sand table teaching, this study develops a blended learning model integrating online preparation, offline practice, and online review, grounded in constructivism and connectivism theories. The model clearly defines the roles of online and offline components while establishing a three-dimensional evaluation system covering knowledge, skills, and competencies. However, implementation challenges include significant disparities in students' self-directed learning abilities, unstable online technology, difficulties in organizing offline sessions, and incomplete resource and evaluation systems. To address these issues, optimization strategies are proposed in three key areas: teaching methodologies, resource integration, and evaluation frameworks. This model effectively enhances teaching outcomes, refines instructional design, and optimizes resource utilization. Future business experimental teaching should continuously innovate pedagogical concepts and methods by aligning with contemporary trends and market demands, thereby fostering the development of versatile business professionals.

Digital Inequality in AI Governance: Inclusive Pathways for Aging Populations
The rapid expansion of artificial intelligence governance frameworks at the national and international levels has generally lacked any substantive involvement from older people; as they interact with digital technologies, their unique relationship to these systems makes them particularly vulnerable to AI-based policy decisions but also one of the groups least engaged in regulating these systems. Examines digital inequality in terms of its manifestation at the level of AI governance; analyzes the structural barriers faced by older adults in accessing AI-mediated services and participating in related governance activities; proposes an inclusiveness pathway to promote more adequate realisation of governance systems that serve the interests and dignity of ageing individuals. According to Van Dijk's multidimensional model of digital inequality, Gaventa's inclusive governance framework and the literature on seniors' technology adoption, it is argued that realising genuine inclusive AI governance requires intervention at three interrelated levels: physical access; Digital skills and AI literacy; Policy participation. Based on the data of the International Telecommunication Union, policy guidelines such as the European Union's AI Act and the World Health Organization's global strategy for ageing and health are used to provide empirical basis and regulatory references for this research's suggestions.

Psychological Contracts in Managerial Decision-Making: How Implicit Expectations Shape Organizational Behavior
Psychological contract - The implicit understanding held by employees concerning the rights and responsibilities they believe they are entitled to under their employer, which forms an indispensable yet invisible part of organizational behaviour. Based on Rousseau's foundational contract theory, Eisenberger et al.'s research on perceived organisational support frameworks and Vroom's expectancy theory to explore how implicit expectations within psychological contracts affect employees' behaviour, managers' choices of plans, and the consequences for organisations. The three mutually related arguments presented below: psychological contract violations do not fit into the traditional model of dissatisfaction but constitute an independent cognitive-attitudinal event with more severe effects and longer durations on work behaviour; In terms of decision-making process, managers' responses serve as key sites for creating or breaking psychological contracts, making effective managerial communication and anticipation crucial factors affecting organisational health; The different ways across cultures that employees perceive their rights under contractual arrangements, interpret them differently, and subsequently react differ from what existing international management theories pay insufficient attention to addressing. The following are recommendations for top management, organizational policies, and future studies on contractual Dynamics during organisational Transformation driven by digitalisation.

Research on the Employment Guidance Service Model for University Counselors Empowered by Generative AI
The employment guidance work of college counselors is confronted with three dilemmas: outdated concepts, insufficient professional capacity, and limited service supply. The traditional experience-driven model struggles to meet the individualized needs of contemporary students. Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI), with its robust capabilities in data analysis and content generation, offers a crucial technological solution to these challenges. This paper first analyzes the practical value of generative AI in enhancing employment guidance. Subsequently, it proposes a four-in-one employment guidance service model—“Precise Profiling - Intelligent Matching - Full-process Companionship - Competency Training”—with the counselor as the principal agent and AI as the technical backbone. This model facilitates the digital representation of student characteristics, the precision delivery of job information, phased design of guidance services, and systematic training of job-seeking skills. By establishing a closed-loop service that spans the entire student lifecycle, this study aims to drive the transformation of employment guidance toward a data-driven and precision service paradigm, thereby providing both theoretical reference and practical guidance for improving the quality and efficiency of career education in higher education institutions.

Reconstructing Classroom Interaction Structures: Artificial Intelligence as a Discursive Actor in Educational Technology
Given that an increase in the number of intelligent devices at home has prompted teachers to consider managing classroom interations swiftly now. Traditional discourse models usually assume that there will be a two-way interaction of Teacher-Student, which is hard to accommodate in terms of non-human participation. Therefore, this paper holds that the functions of artificial intelligence systems in class are discursive agents who can participate actively in reshaping interactional structures. Based on Actor-Network Theory (ANT) and Conversation Analysis (CA), combining with data from OECD PISA 2022, Stanford HAI (2024) and EdWeek Research Center (2023), an original human-AI-human (HAH) discourse triangle framework is proposed to explain the three-dimensional interactive model generated by AI-integrated classrooms. The findings indicate that the disruption of information release linearity; The generation of recursive inquiry loop: Redistributing discursive authority; Significantly impact teachers' agency and education equity.

Psychodrama's Impact on College Students' Empathy and Interpersonal Trust: An Examination Based on Role-Playing Mechanism
Psychodrama, as an experiential group intervention method, holds unique applicative value in college mental health education. From the interdisciplinary perspective of educational psychology and social psychology, this paper systematically explores the impact of psychodrama on college students' empathy and interpersonal trust, as well as its underlying mechanisms. The research finds that psychodrama, with role-playing as its core technique, promotes participants' cognitive perspective transformation and emotional experience deepening through specific means such as role reversal, mirror technique, and doubling. The role-playing mechanism functions primarily through three pathways: role reversal enhances perspective-taking ability, mirror technique deepens self-awareness, and doubling reinforces emotional resonance. Empirical studies show that psychodrama intervention can significantly improve college students' empathy tendency and interpersonal trust level, and also positively affect social development dimensions such as forgiveness ability and mental health. This study provides a theoretical framework for understanding the mechanism of psychodrama and offers empirical evidence for college mental health education practice.

Research on the Psychological Enhancement Mechanism of Popular Music Creation Process on Music Learners' Self-efficacy
This study is supported by Bandura's self-efficacy theory and Webster's music creation thinking model, combined with empirical research on music education at home and abroad and open source academic achievements, to explore the psychological enhancement mechanism of popular music creation process on music learners' self-efficacy. Based on the relevant achievements of music creation psychology, the study divides popular music creation into five core stages: Material Collection Stage, Incubation Stage, Structuring Stage, Revising Stage, and Presenting Stage. The study systematically analyzes the dynamic effects of each stage on the activation, strengthening, and consolidation of learners' self-efficacy through four pathways: mastery experience, vicarious experience, verbal persuasion, and physiological and affective states. Empirical research shows that immediate feedback, visualization of results, and successful practical experience in creation are key elements in cultivating learners' belief in creative competence. The self-efficacy enhancement pathways for learners at different stages show a staged shift from external feedback dependence to internal self-evaluation dominance. This study clarifies the intrinsic relationship between the two, providing a theoretical basis and practical reference for integrating popular music creation practice into music education, optimizing learners' psychological enhancement approaches, and improving the effectiveness of music teaching practice.
