Influence of Job Demand, Social Support and Perfectionism on Presenteeism Among Teachers in China's Education Industry: The Mediating Role of Job Burnout
This study explores relationships between job demand, social support, perfectionism, job burnout, and presenteeism among Chinese teachers, with job burnout as a mediator. Guided by the JD-R Model and COR Theory, a cross-sectional survey of 486 K12 and higher education teachers was analyzed using SPSS and SmartPLS. Results indicate job demand and maladaptive perfectionism positively predict job burnout and presenteeism, while social support negatively predicts both. Job burnout partially mediates the effects of job demand, social support, and perfectionism on presenteeism. These findings extend JD-R and COR theories to China's education sector and provide strategies to reduce presenteeism and enhance teacher well-being.

"Three-Dimensions, Three Positions, Three Links": Innovative Construction and Practical Paths of a Teaching System Addressing Core Challenges in Traditional Chinese Medicine Education
Current higher education in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) faces systemic challenges in knowledge transmission, clinical integration, and evaluation mechanisms. Targeting three core pain points—"scattered knowledge points difficult to connect", "disconnection between basic and clinical teaching", and "a single and rigid curriculum evaluation system"—this paper innovatively constructs a comprehensive teaching reform system titled "Three-Dimensional Exploration of 'Li' (Theory), Three-Dimensional Integration of 'Tong' (Integration), and Three-Link Achievement of 'He' (Harmony)". The system aims to deepen theoretical understanding through three dimensions ("historical origin, philosophical thinking, modern cognition"), promote capacity transformation via three integrations ("theory-practice, classroom-clinic, inheritance-innovation"), and ensure students' all-round development relying on a multi-dimensional evaluation mechanism ("combination of process and summative evaluation, linkage of knowledge, ability and literacy, collaboration of human-machine and multi-subject evaluation"). This paper systematically elaborates on the core concepts, implementation paths, and theoretical foundations of the system, intending to provide a systematic and operable solution for the inheritance and innovation of TCM talent training models in the new era.

Research on Branding Construction and Channel Expansion Management of Contemporary Art Education and Training Institutions: A Grounded Analysis Based on Multiple Cases
Against the backdrop of an increasingly saturated market in contemporary art education and training, coupled with the reshaping of the industry landscape by the "Double Reduction" policy, exploring how institutions can achieve sustainable development through scientific management strategies holds significant theoretical and practical importance. This paper aims to deeply analyze the management mechanisms and strategic synergy issues in the process of brand equity construction and channel expansion of art education institutions through qualitative research methods. Adopting a multi-case study approach and following the interpretivist paradigm, this study selects three typical art training institutions in Beijing at different developmental stages as research objects. Detailed primary data were obtained through in-depth interviews, non-participant field observations, and archival data tracking. The study finds that there are three heterogeneous paths for brand construction in art education institutions: functional, relational, and personality-based. Furthermore, there is a significant non-linear coupling relationship between the accumulation of brand equity and channel selection. Channel expansion relying solely on traffic-oriented thinking often leads to the dilution of core brand values, whereas strategic configuration based on "Brand-Channel Fit" can significantly enhance the trust cost and conversion efficiency of the parent group. This paper constructs an integrated management framework, revealing how institutions can achieve dual improvements in student quality and operational efficiency through connotative brand construction and precise channel layout under resource constraints. The research conclusions provide empirical evidence and decision-making references at the micro-level for the standardized management and high-quality development of China's art education industry.

Research on the Teaching Reform and Practice of Systematic Anatomy Course Based on OBE Theory
To address the dilemma of "valuing theory over practice and memory over application" in traditional systematic anatomy teaching, and to meet the requirements of medical education standardization and diversified talent training, this study constructs a "five- in-one" teaching reform system of "goal-content-method-evaluation-improvement" under the guidance of Outcome-Based Education (OBE) theory. Through reconstructing competency-oriented curriculum goals, optimizing curriculum content integrated with "basic-clinical-ideological and political elements", innovating "virtual-physical combined" teaching methods, establishing a multi-dimensional comprehensive evaluation system, and improving a closed-loop continuous improvement mechanism, the practice was carried out among three cohorts of clinical medicine students. Results showed that after the reform, the average score of students' theoretical assessments increased by 12.3%, the passing rate of practical operations rose by 18.6%, students' satisfaction with the course reached 92.5%, and their clinical thinking and professional literacy were significantly enhanced. The research indicates that the teaching reform of systematic anatomy guided by OBE theory can effectively improve the quality of curriculum teaching and provide a replicable practical paradigm for the teaching reform of basic medical courses.

The Impact of the Bionic Teaching Method on Basic Motor Skills in Children's Street Dance
Traditional pedagogical approaches in children's street dance often rely on rote imitation, which may not fully engage young learners or optimize motor skill acquisition. This study investigates the efficacy of a "Bionic Teaching Method" (BTM)—a pedagogical strategy utilizing metaphorical imagery drawn from animal and natural phenomena—as a child-centric alternative. The objective was to empirically compare the impact of BTM against a Traditional Teaching Method (TTM) on the basic motor skills of children. A 12-week, quasi-experimental pre-test/post-test design was employed, involving 60 children aged 6–9, divided into an experimental group (EG, n=30, receiving BTM) and a control group (CG, n=30, receiving TTM). Basic motor skills were quantified using four measures: coordination (Test of Gross Motor Development-3 Locomotor subscale), flexibility (Sit-and-Reach test), lower-body power (Vertical Jump test), and rhythmic accuracy (a standardized rhythmic protocol). Data were analyzed using ANCOVA, controlling for pre-test scores. The results indicated that while both groups improved, the BTM experimental group demonstrated significantly greater gains than the TTM control group in coordination (F(1, 57) = 14.21, p < .001), rhythmic accuracy (F(1, 57) = 11.09, p = .002), and flexibility (F(1, 57) = 5.15, p = .027). No significant group difference was found in the development of lower-body power (p > .05). The findings suggest that the Bionic Teaching Method, likely by fostering an external focus of attention and enhancing learner engagement, is a superior pedagogical strategy for developing complex motor skills in the context of children's street dance.

A Study on the Impact of AI-Assisted Project-Based Learning Design on Innovation Ability
This study explores the impact of integrating generative artificial intelligence (AI) into Project-Based Learning (PBL) on the innovation ability of undergraduate students in data science education. Utilizing a quasi-experimental design, we applied AI-empowered PBL to the experimental group and traditional PBL to the control group, comparing the differences between the two groups in computational thinking, data literacy, and creativity. The subjects were undergraduate students majoring in data science at a university in China, and the experiment lasted for one semester. Quantitative data included pre- and post-measurement scales (for computational thinking, data literacy, and innovation self-efficacy) and project outcome scores; qualitative data included interviews, code submissions, and analysis of AI interaction logs. Based on theories such as Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal Development, AI acted as a cognitive scaffold in the experimental group, supporting students in solving tasks beyond their independent capabilities through methods like code auto-completion and dialogue-based Q&A. The research results indicate that PBL integrated with AI can significantly enhance students' higher-order thinking and innovation ability: compared to the control group, the experimental group showed greater increases in problem-solving, critical thinking, and creative thinking abilities, with statistically significant differences; their project works also received higher evaluations in terms of complexity and novelty. Concurrently, qualitative evidence shows that students adeptly used AI tools for flexible exploration and immediate feedback, demonstrating higher engagement and autonomy. However, the study also found that improper use of AI may lead to over-reliance or the spread of bias; therefore, cultivating students' AI literacy is critically important. This research provides an empirical basis and practical framework for effectively integrating AI and PBL in data science education, offering implications for cultivating future-oriented innovative talents.

Assessing the Impact of the "Double Reduction" Policy on the After-school Tutoring Industry Using Causal Forests
The "Double Reduction" policy, implemented in China in 2021, represents a significant regulatory intervention aimed at alleviating academic burdens on students and curbing the expansion of the after-school tutoring industry. This study employs causal forest methodology to rigorously evaluate the policy’s causal effects on key industry outcomes, including market size, employment, and service pricing. Using panel data from major tutoring enterprises and regional educational statistics, the analysis identifies heterogeneous treatment effects across geographic and socioeconomic contexts. Results indicate a substantial average reduction in industry revenue and a decline in private tutoring service offerings. However, the policy’s impact varies significantly, with pronounced negative effects in urban and high-income areas, while rural and economically disadvantaged regions exhibit relative resilience. These findings underscore the importance of accounting for regional disparities when designing and implementing educational reforms. The study contributes to the literature by providing empirical evidence on the efficacy of regulatory policies in reshaping educational markets and highlights the potential of machine learning techniques like causal forests for policy evaluation.

Heterogeneous Returns to Higher Education: An Estimation Based on Generalized Random Forests
This study investigates the heterogeneous causal effects of higher education on earnings by employing generalized random forests (GRF), a nonparametric machine learning method designed for estimating treatment effect heterogeneity. While existing literature predominantly focuses on average returns to education, substantial variation in individual benefits remains underexplored due to methodological limitations in capturing complex interaction effects. Using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY), we address potential selection bias through a causal forest framework that incorporates a rich set of socioeconomic, demographic, and cognitive characteristics. Our results reveal significant heterogeneity in returns, with estimated annual income increases ranging from 5% to 28% across individuals. Key moderators include family socioeconomic status, pre-college academic ability, and local labor market conditions. These findings underscore the limitations of average treatment effects and highlight the importance of personalized educational policy. The application of GRF demonstrates its utility in uncovering nuanced patterns of treatment heterogeneity where conventional parametric methods fall short.

Real-Time Knowledge Tracing in Online Learning Environments Using Interpretable Transformer-Bayesian Models
Knowledge tracing in online learning environments requires sophisticated systems capable of continuously monitoring student knowledge states while providing real-time feedback and personalized learning recommendations. Traditional knowledge tracing approaches struggle to balance computational efficiency necessary for real-time operation with the interpretability requirements essential for educational applications. The challenge lies in developing models that can process continuous streams of student interactions, maintain accurate knowledge state estimates, and provide transparent explanations of learning progress that support both automated adaptation and human educational decision-making. This study proposes an Interpretable Transformer-Bayesian (ITB) framework that integrates transformer architectures with Bayesian inference mechanisms to enable real-time knowledge tracing while maintaining interpretability essential for educational applications. The framework employs transformer attention mechanisms to capture temporal learning patterns while utilizing Bayesian networks to model probabilistic knowledge states and provide uncertainty quantification. The integrated approach enables continuous knowledge state updating through streaming data processing while generating interpretable explanations of learning progress and knowledge mastery patterns. Experimental evaluation using large-scale online learning platform datasets demonstrates that the proposed framework achieves 41% improvement in knowledge tracing accuracy compared to traditional real-time methods. The ITB approach results in 35% better prediction of future student performance while maintaining average processing latency under 150 milliseconds for real-time requirements. The framework successfully combines high predictive accuracy with interpretable knowledge state representations, achieving 39% improvement in explanation quality ratings from educational practitioners while supporting real-time adaptive learning applications.

The Role of Students in Educational Leadership
Against the backdrop of global education reform, the connotation of educational leadership is becoming increasingly rich and diversified. In the traditional sense, educational leadership is mostly dominated by administrative staff such as principals and teachers, while students are usually regarded as passive recipients of the educational process. However, in recent years, the education community has gradually recognized the unique value of students in school management and decision-making, and the role of students as educational subjects has received more attention. This change stems from the need to build a more democratic, inclusive and effective education system. Internationally, many countries have incorporated student participation in educational leadership into education policies. For example, in Finland, student participation in school governance is part of the legal provisions, and the student committee regularly discusses education policies and school development plans with the school (Sahlberg, 2011). Many schools in the United States and the United Kingdom have also established student unions, giving students the right to express their opinions and influence school decisions (Fielding, 2001). These practices not only reflect respect for students' rights and interests but also promote the all-round development of students' abilities.
The Exploration of the Interdisciplinary Education of Mathematics in Universities: A Case Study of Mathematics and Finance
Under the background of the deep integration of subjects in the contemporary education field, the teaching concept and practice mode of higher mathematics as a basic subject are undergoing profound changes. Based on the teaching scene of colleges and universities, this study systematically analyzes the interdisciplinary mathematics education from three aspects: strategic significance, realistic bottleneck and breakthrough path. Combined with the classic example of mathematics and finance, it is found that the cross-penetration of mathematics and other disciplines not only significantly improves the quality of students' innovative thinking, but also effectively activates the kinetic energy of the collaborative development of discipline groups. In view of the obstacles formed by the traditional teaching inertia, this paper puts forward a reform scheme with the core of "knowledge graph reconstruction - learning scene reconstruction - evaluation paradigm upgrade" : realize the cross-border integration of knowledge through the construction of modular course group, carry out immersive teaching practice with the help of virtual simulation platform, and establish a multi-dimensional ability-oriented dynamic evaluation system. These explorations provide an operational action framework for interdisciplinary integration in higher education, which has methodological significance for deepening teaching reform.
This paper explores the application of leadership theories—namely, distributed leadership, transactional leadership, transformational leadership, and participative leadership—by critically comparing theoretical perspectives and examining their practical implementation in educational settings. The first section contrasts Parker’s case-based study of distributed leadership in British primary schools with an AI-generated article that offers a broad theoretical overview. While the AI-authored article demonstrates clarity and breadth, it lacks empirical depth. The second section reflects on the author’s experience as a principal in a private educational institution, evaluating the limitations of a purely transactional leadership model and advocating for the integration of transformational and participative approaches to foster innovation and employee engagement. The final section outlines specific practices of transactional leadership and critically assesses its shortcomings in sustaining intrinsic motivation and long-term organizational development. The paper concludes by recommending a hybrid leadership strategy that combines transactional precision with transformational inspiration, offering a practical pathway toward sustainable educational leadership.

Research on public library user profile based on conceptual grid in the context of cultural and tourism integration
This study aims to enhance the cultural tourism service capabilities of public libraries to meet the diverse cultural tourism needs of users. To achieve this goal, Python was used to obtain user review data of the National Library of China from the Dianping website, and based on these data, a conceptual model of public library cultural tourism user portraits was constructed. This model covers three dimensions: user natural attributes, user needs, and user travel scenarios. Subsequently, the Lattice Miner 2.0 tool was used to construct user segmentation label concept lattices, and the user groups were divided into four categories through the Hasse diagram of the concept lattice: tourist check-in and novelty seekers, leisure and entertainment enjoyers, reading, learning and advanced study enthusiasts, and parent-child activity experiencers. Thus, the construction of public library group user portraits was realized. The research shows that through in-depth mining and clustering analysis, these four types of user groups and their unique cultural tourism needs can be clearly identified. This user-oriented research perspective focuses on the overall process of user portrait construction, which not only helps to optimize the cultural tourism service level of public libraries but also significantly improves user satisfaction, demonstrating important practical value and innovative significance.
Online Education and Digital Resource Construction: A Comparative Analysis of Basic Education in Mongolia and China
In order to cope with the challenges of unequal distribution of educational resources and the transformation of education models in the context of globalization, and to promote the modernization of basic education, this paper uses a combination of literature analysis, case studies and comparative analysis to discuss the construction of online education and digital resources in the field of basic education in Mongolia and China. The study finds that China has significant advantages in the penetration rate of online education, the coverage of digital resources and the depth of technology application, and has formed a government-led and multi-party resource co-construction and sharing model. Although Mongolia has made some progress in the construction of online education infrastructure, it is still facing problems such as lack of resources and imperfect sharing mechanism due to the economic conditions and technical level. There are also significant differences between the two countries in terms of educational philosophy, policy support, and technology application paths. Based on this, this paper proposes to strengthen China-Mongolia education cooperation, learn from China's successful experience in the construction of digital resources, and explore a development path suitable for Mongolia's national conditions in combination with its local characteristics. The results of this study provide theoretical reference and practical enlightenment for the digital transformation of basic education in China and Mongolia..
Comparison and Enlightenment of the Implementation Strategies of Basic Education Informatization in Mongolia and China in the Digital Era
In order to cope with the opportunities and challenges brought by the digital era to basic education and promote the improvement of education equity and quality, this paper uses literature analysis and comparative research to systematically analyze and compare the implementation strategies of basic education informatization in Mongolia and China. The study found that Mongolia has deficiencies in policy support and infrastructure construction, but pays attention to localized resource development and teacher training. China, on the other hand, has performed well in improving its policy system, widely applying technology, and building a resource sharing platform, but it faces the challenges of unbalanced regional development and differences in teachers' informatization capabilities. Through comparison, this paper reveals the similarities and differences between the two countries in the process of informatization of basic education, and proposes that Mongolia can learn from China's experience in policy coordination and resource integration, while China can draw inspiration from Mongolia's localization practice and teacher training model.

Innovation and Assessment System for the Development of Biology Teaching Content Aligned with Sustainable Development Goals
With the in-depth promotion of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), biology education plays a crucial role in the global education system by cultivating individuals with environmental awareness, ecological ethics, and social responsibility. This paper aims to explore how to systematically integrate the Sustainable Development Goals into biology education in China, proposing innovative strategies for teaching content and the construction of an assessment system based on these goals. Through literature research, case analysis, and theoretical simulation, this paper first outlines the theoretical foundations for teaching content innovation, including Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) and modern educational psychology theories. Subsequently, based on the three principles of "combining scientific and practical aspects," "balancing timeliness and foresight," and "coordinating systematic and open approaches," specific strategies for teaching content innovation are proposed. These strategies include the integration of cutting-edge knowledge, case-based teaching and situational creation, interdisciplinary fusion, and action-oriented learning. Additionally, this paper constructs a diversified assessment system that encompasses three dimensions: knowledge and skills, processes and methods, and emotional attitudes and values. It combines quantitative and qualitative assessment methods to ensure a comprehensive evaluation of students' overall competence in biology learning.
