The Logic Behind China’s Special Economic Zones and Their Economic Effects Before 2001
The Chinese SEZs are one of the most iconic symbols of the reform and opening-up era and are the shining beacon of Chinese economic progress, particularly before China’s entry into WTO in 2001. This study is an analysis of the logic and trend behind the creation of SEZs and their economic impact before 2001. A better understanding of the logic behind SEZ’s success can benefit many economies aspiring for growth. This study’s methodology is based upon review and analysis of official government ff les and academic research. This study concludes that China’s initial Special Economic Zones were carefully selected to serve as laboratories for reform which attracted foreign investment and tested market-oriented policies. They were also very effective from a economic standpoint, as evident in their rapid growth and foreign investment. This success was built upon a unique combination of policy autonomy, great geography, abundant labor, government support, and compelling privileges for foreign investors.

Practical Research on the Financial Aid System for Difficult Students in Non-degree Continuing Education of Higher Vocational Maritime Colleges under the Background of Industry-Education Integration
To address the financial aid predicament faced by disadvantaged students in non-degree continuing education in higher vocational maritime colleges under the background of industry-education integration, this study aims to establish a precise and sustainable multi-dimensional collaborative financial aid system. The research adopts a method combining literature analysis and model construction. Firstly, it dissected the core challenges such as the coverage blind spots of the existing financial aid policies in the non-academic education field, the particularity of the student group, and the insufficient motivation of enterprises to participate in financial aid. The research results show that it is necessary to go beyond the traditional "blood transfusion" funding and establish a "four-party linkage" mechanism led by institutions of higher learning, deeply involved by enterprises, guided by government policies, and supplemented by social forces. This system takes the integration of "funding - skills - employment" as its core path. Through measures such as setting up special scholarships, providing paid practical positions, and implementing order-based training, it has achieved a transformation from economic assistance to a "blood-making" funding model that empowers careers. This system not only enhances the accuracy and effectiveness of the funding but also supplies a stable supply of skilled talents to the shipping industry, creating a mutually beneficial and virtuous ecosystem for education, industry and learners.

The “Punishment” of Diligence: The Paradox of Formative Assessment and the Reconstruction of Learning Ecology in the Second Foreign Language French Classroom
The teaching of French as a second foreign language (L2 French) in Chinese universities faces persistent challenges of declining motivation and low efficiency. This study identifies a central paradox: classrooms implementing intensive formative assessment (e.g., unit quizzes, systematic review) exhibited significant score polarization, whereas comparison classes using summative assessment with “pre-exam scope delimitation” achieved superficially superior, tightly clustered grade distributions. Analysis of multi-cohort exam data and student interviews reveals that formative assessment produces a normal distribution reflecting true learning disparities, while summative practices generate a “pseudo-excellence distribution” that masks underlying competence gaps. Crucially, students who excelled in exam-oriented settings suffered severe “academic shock” under formative assessment, exposing the fragility of their prior knowledge. The paradox stems from a systemic clash between the “exam paradigm” and the “competence paradigm.” This study proposes reconstructing a “progressive teaching ecology” through scaffolding, renegotiated teacher-student contracts, and hybrid assessment models to enable a “soft landing” from knowledge transmission to competence cultivation.

From Skill Imparting to Intelligent Literacy: A Study on the Transformation of Environmental Design Teaching Paradigms in the AI Era
The rapid development of AI technology has restructured the production logic and talent demand of the environmental design industry. The traditional teaching paradigm centered on skill imparting is no longer able to meet the industry’s demands for intelligent literacy. This article focuses on the transformation of environmental design teaching paradigms in the AI era. Through theoretical analysis methods, it defines the composition and connotation of intelligent literacy, and proposes that it includes four dimensions: AI tool application literacy, data-driven design literacy, AI collaborative innovation literacy, and intelligent design ethics literacy. The four form an organic system of “basic support - core ability - bottom-line guarantee”. On this basis, a transformation strategy is constructed from four aspects: the curriculum system, the teaching staff ’s capabilities, the practical platform, and the school-enterprise collaboration. It emphasizes that the modularization of the curriculum should be precisely aligned with the dimension of literacy, the construction of the teaching staff should focus on the cultivation of “dual-qualified” capabilities, practical teaching should rely on real project scenarios, and the school-enterprise collaboration should be synchronized with teaching content.

From Exam to Empowerment: The Transformation Path and Innovative Practice of Argumentative Courses
Amid integrated higher education and career development, argumentative courses fail to meet modern civil service competency needs and higher education’s “nurturing virtue and talent” goal due to rigid “exam-focused” models. Traditional courses have issues: imbalanced positioning, and disjointed curriculum. Reform strategies include:1) Precise objectives balancing exam skills and comprehensive literacy.2) Optimized content: a “realityoriented, project-driven, interdisciplinary” system with dynamic case libraries, simulated government projects, and cross-discipline modules. 3) Innovative teaching: 4-6 member groups and 2-3 annual mock civil service exams. 4) Improved curriculum chain: a “basic-professional-comprehensive” three-level structure, with regular teacher sessions and a “Course Synergy Manual” to avoid duplication/gaps. This transformation adapts to civil service exam shifts and explores higher education’s mission.

Application of Dance Therapy in Psychological Intervention for Left-behind Children
The large-scale migration of rural populations to urban areas has resulted in the long-term separation of many minors from their parents, giving rise to the group known as Left-behind Children. Studies have demonstrated that due to insufficient emotional support, this population is prone to psychological challenges such as loneliness, anxiety, and depression. Traditional verbal counseling has limitations in helping children effectively express their inner feelings, thereby necessitating the exploration of new intervention approaches. Dance/Movement Therapy (DMT), as a nonverbal therapeutic modality that integrates bodily movement with psychological adjustment, provides children with a pathway for emotional externalization and self-construction. Drawing on existing literature and the psychological characteristics of left-behind children, this study proposes a group-based DMT intervention framework, focusing on its functions in emotional regulation, cognitive development, behavioral regulation, and interpersonal interaction. The paper argues that DMT not only enhances the psychological resilience and social adaptation of left-behind children but also offers a theoretical foundation and practical reference for psychological interventions among rural children.

Innovation of Digital Pedagogy and Integration of Digital Educational Resources in a Nursing Curriculum: An ExploratoryStudy
Digital educational technologies (DET) as current pedagogy have been increasingly used in nursing and midwifery education. DET’s tools include online resources,social media platforms,augmented reality and virtual simulation, which provide diverse options for nursing teaching and learning styles [1] . The usability of applying DET has many benefits in the nursing area, involving easy access,more dynamism,safety practice,interest improvement, etc., that positively impact both students and teachers [2] . Gause et al. (2022) point out that E-resources deliver fiexibility in location for students to acquire academic knowledge at any time, and visual materials help them understand professional skills in-depth[3] . Meanwhile, digital tools enrich nursing educators’ teaching models, and visual reality systems can reduce the budget for practice materials and maintain a safe environment for learners[1] . Apart from its advantages, DET has some drawbacks, such as the limitation of evaluating students’ learning quality and the requirement of digital teaching competencies for nursing faculty [4] . Langegård et al. (2021) state that learning digital tools leads to students’ lack of opportunities for face-to-face social communication with peers and teachers; hence, when misusing DET, an absence of study motivation and a decline in study discipline could happen[5] . Furthermore, as technology evolves, nursing educators must change traditional teaching-learning models into digital pedagogical methods tailored to contemporary education[6] . Thus, if educators intend to apply DET to the greatest extent, it should be combined with teaching methods appropriately and suitable for educators and learners.

A Study on the Relationship Between Interdisciplinary Thematic Learning in Primary and Secondary School Mathematics and STEM Education
This paper deeply analyzes the conceptual resonance of the two at the common starting point of “integration,” and systematically discriminates their profound divergences in cultural genes, disciplinary logic, and value orientation. Research shows that interdisciplinary thematic learning in mathematics is rooted in the localized soil of “fostering virtue through education,” with the mathematics discipline as its solid home ground; whereas STEM education originates from national science and technology competition strategy, exhibiting distinct characteristics of being engineering-driven and technology-empowered.
Research on the Impact of Light Industry Technology Economy on Vocational Education Policies
In recent years, with the transformation and upgrading of the light industry, it has gradually changed towards digitalization and intelligence. The technological and economic development of light industry has also had a certain impact on the development of vocational education and teaching. Further analysis is needed to discover the comprehensive impact of industry changes on China’s education and teaching policies. By continuously adjusting policies, we aim to further respond to the technological upgrading of the light industry, understand the actual needs of talent development, and design a vocational education curriculum system that adapts to the technological and economic changes in light industry. This will not only improve the quality of vocational education teaching, but also have a positive impact on China’s socio-economic development.

Real-World Dilemmas in Performance Evaluation of Teachers in Higher Vocational Institutions and Pathways to Solutions
Performance evaluation of teachers in higher vocational institutions is a key task for these schools, as it effectively promotes the professional growth of teaching staff and contributes to the high-quality development of the institutions. However, the current teacher performance evaluation system faces several practical dilemmas during implementation, including insufficient knowledge of the evaluation procedure, imperfect design of evaluation criteria, a singular evaluation body, and inadequate monitor and appeal mechanisms. By taking into account the unique characteristics of higher vocational institutions, as well as the diversity and complexity of teachers' work, this paper proposes several pathways to address these issues. These include clarifying the purpose of performance evaluation, constructing a diversified evaluation indicator system, implementing comprehensive evaluation methods, strengthening categorized and multilayered assessment, enforcing multi-lateral evaluation, enhancing supervising and rewarding mechanisms, and integrating annual performance evaluation with appointment-term performance evaluation.
