Characteristics of the Integration and Coexistence of Multinational Literature in Qinghai from the Perspective of Ecocriticism and Their Implications for Classroom Teaching
From the vantage point of ecocriticism, this paper examines Qinghai’s multi-ethnic writings to disclose the plural articulations of eco-ethics embedded in them and the symbiotic interplay among diverse ethnic cultures. On this basis, it derives practical implications for undergraduate teaching within the discipline of Chinese Language and Literature. The study first maps the manifold expressions of eco-ethical thinking in Qinghai’s multi-ethnic literary corpus; it then explicates the region’s characteristic model of ecological and cultural conviviality. Finally, it proposes a classroom pedagogy centred on the triadic synergy of “ecology–culture–education”. By constructing an interdisciplinary eco-educational framework, instituting a multicultural-symbiosis classroom model, and developing curricular resources rooted in local ecocriticism, the approach cultivates students’ ecological ethical awareness, cross-cultural understanding, and critical thinking, thereby realizing the dual educational goals of “nurturing life through literature” and “shaping character through ecology”.

Innovative Development Strategies for University Sports Clubs from the Perspective of Core Competencies
From the perspective of “core competencies,” university sports clubs are transitioning from interest-based societies to educational platforms. This article systematically examines the current bottlenecks faced by clubs in areas such as governance structure, teaching philosophy, resource allocation, and evaluation/incentive mechanisms: ambiguous governance responsibilities, lack of curriculum stratification, shortages in facilities and instructors, and an evaluation system that emphasizes results over process. To address these issues, an innovative “four-in-one” path is proposed: organizationally, establishing a three-level collaborative mechanism involving the “university - college/school - club”; pedagogically, introducing a “big ideas + learning community” model to strengthen competency orientation; resource-wise, integrating on-campus and off-campus facilities, instructors, and social funding to form a diversified supply system; and evaluation-wise, implementing a process-oriented, visual, multi-dimensional core competency evaluation system supported by digital platforms.

The Interplay Between Adolescents’ Sports Moral Emotions and Achievement Motivation: The Moderating Role of Grade Level
Moral sentiment, recognized as a latent catalyst for tendencies toward moral behavior, has stimulated considerable interdisciplinary interest. Functioning as a pivotal psychological factor in the formation of adolescent character and conduct, the relationship between sports moral sentiment and achievement motivation is marked by intricate dynamics. Through the lens of physical education in the digital age, this study investigates the underlying mechanisms linking adolescents’ sports moral sentiment with achievement motivation, paying particular attention to the moderating effect of grade level. The findings are intended to furnish innovative perspectives and strategic methodologies for the field of physical education. Grounded in developmental psychology, this study employed the Achievement Motivation Scale and the Adolescent Sports Moral Character Scale to conduct a survey among 438 students from a secondary school in Kunming, Yunnan Province, utilizing digital questionnaires for data collection. Statistical analyses conducted using SPSS 27.0 revealed that sports moral sentiment exerts a significant influence on achievement motivation, with grade level serving as a moderating factor in this relationship. Correlation analysis demonstrated a statistically significant positive association between sports moral sentiment and achievement motivation (r = 0.480, p < 0.001). Further moderation analysis confirmed that grade level significantly moderates the relationship between sports moral sentiment and achievement motivation (p < 0.01). The findings provide robust evidence for a substantial linkage between adolescents’ sports moral sentiment and their achievement motivation, with empirical data indicating that sports moral sentiment serves as a reliable predictor of achievement motivation. The moderating role of grade differences underscores the necessity of systematically integrating moral sentiment education into physical education curricula. In light of the distinct psychological developmental characteristics of students across different junior secondary grade levels, tailored pedagogical strategies should be formulated. These efforts are ultimately directed toward enhancing academic motivation and fostering students’ holistic development.

Collaboration and Integration of Traditional Culture Education in the Greater Bay Area: A Perspective of Triadic Reciprocal Determinism and Cultural Cognition
This study examines the collaborative development of traditional culture education in the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA). Drawing on Triadic Reciprocal Determinism (TRD) and the Cultural Knowings Framework (CKF), it employs a descriptive comparative analysis to systematically review policy documents, curriculum standards, teaching guidelines, and educational reports released between 2016 and 2024 by education authorities in Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao. The findings reveal marked regional distinctions in structural orientation and pedagogical focus. The nine mainland GBA cities emphasize systematic curriculum alignment and school-based cultural experiences, while Hong Kong and Macao highlight multicultural integration, project-based learning, and technology-enabled engagement. Despite these distinctive strengths, all three regions face persistent structural “embedding” challenges and a lack of robust cross-regional coordination mechanisms. To address these challenges, the study proposes a coordination framework centered on person–behavior–environment interactions, articulating a four-stage progression—cognition, participation, reflection, and identification—to integrate regional resources, reinforce shared cultural foundations, and promote sustainable collaboration while respecting local diversity. The study advances theoretical integration, model construction, and practical implications by linking the TRD and the CKF for the first time to develop an operational model for regional cultural collaboration. This framework offers both analytical and practical value, providing new pathways for curriculum design, policy coordination, and cultural governance across the GBA.

The Correlation between Different Sports Club Training and Children’s Basic Movement Patterns
This study aimed to determine the correlation between different school sports club trainings and the basic movement patterns of primary school students. Using the Functional Movement Screening (FMS), the study assessed students engaged in five distinct sports—track and field, basketball, aerobics, rope skipping, and cheerleading—against a control group with no sports club affiliation. The results demonstrated that students in any sports club had significantly superior total FMS scores, lower rates of scores below the injury threshold, and reduced movement asymmetry compared to non-participants. Significant variations existed among the sports, with cheerleading students exhibiting the highest scores, followed by track-and-field, aerobics, rope-skipping, and basketball. The study concludes that participation in sports clubs is beneficial for developing functional movement, though the degree of improvement is distinctly influenced by the type of sport practiced.

The Logical Path, Implementation Route and Practical Principles for Optimizing Teaching Methods Driven by Embodied Cognition
The traditional teaching methods of ideological and political theory Courses (IPTC) excessively emphasize rational thinking and knowledge indoctrination, ignoring the educational role of physical participation and emotional experience, which leads to the disembodied dilemma where cognition is separated from practice in IPTC teaching. Embodied Cognition, a cognitive psychology trend advocating that cognition emerges from the dynamic interaction between the body and the environment, is adapted to the current changes in teaching environments triggered by digital technologies. Driving the optimization of IPTC teaching methods with this theory is supported by both theoretical and practical bases, which helps to break the disembodied dilemma and improve teaching methods. Based on the three characteristics of the current teaching field of IPTC—field extensibility, technology-enabledness, and subject interactivity—a “virtual-real double closed-loop” method system is constructed: the forward loop promotes the transformation of theoretical cognition through field adaptation, the reverse loop drives the iteration of teaching strategies through data feedback, and the collaboration of the two loops realizes the dynamic generation and continuous evolution of cognition. At the practical level, it is necessary to actively explore the boundaries of cognitive generation, grasp the dialectical unity of technological empowerment and value guidance, continuously strengthen the dominant position of IPTC teachers, and finally achieve the value goal of connotative development of IPTCs through Embodied Cognition-driven teaching method innovation.

Rapid Evolution of Large Language Models in Medical Education: Comparative Performance of ChatGPT-3.5, ChatGPT-5, and DeepSeek on Medical Microbiology MCQs
Rapid advances in large language models (LLMs) warrant specialty-specific benchmarking to assess their educational potential and limitations. We evaluated the newly released generative artificial intelligence (genAI) model ChatGPT-5, DeepSeek-R1, and the early ChatGPT-3.5 on 80 multiple-choice questions (MCQs) from a medical microbiology course examination, weighted for midterm and final components. Items were classified according to the revised Bloom’s taxonomy. Performance was compared with that of more than 150 Doctor of Dental Surgery students. Content quality was assessed independently by two consultants in clinical microbiology using the validated CLEAR tool modified to assess AI content completeness, accuracy, and relevance. The mean total scores were 80.5 for ChatGPT-3.5, 96.0 for ChatGPT-5, and 95.5 for DeepSeek, versus a student mean of 86.21/100. ChatGPT-5 and DeepSeek-R1 significantly outperformed ChatGPT-3.5 in completeness and accuracy scores, with no differences between them. ChatGPT-5 maintained high accuracy across lower- and higher-order cognitive Bloom’s domains, whereas DeepSeek-R1 showed a significant drop in higher-order items. For ChatGPT-3.5, incorrect responses had longer answer-choice word counts. CLEAR scores were significantly higher for correct versus incorrect responses in all models (p < 0.001). This study showed that the currently available LLMs can exceed average student performance in medical microbiology while providing high-quality explanations. Regular benchmarking is essential to ensure responsible integration of genAI into educational, pedagogical, and assessment tools.

Multi-Dimensional Coupling Mechanism between University Governance System and Students’ Social-Emotional Evolution under the Dynamic Emotional Perspective
In the process of modernizing higher education, the dynamic evolution of students’ socio-emotional competence and the multidimensional interaction of the higher education governance system constitute the core mechanisms affecting educational quality. Drawing on the intersection of the sociology of emotions and governance theory, this paper integrates interactive ritual chain theory and governance network theory to construct a coupled “emotion-governance” analytical framework. Through a mixed-methods study of a typical university, the paper reveals how SECs develop through the mechanism of affective dynamics, driven by institutional rules, organizational culture, and technological intermediaries. The paper finds that governance rule density and SEC growth have an inverted U-shaped relationship: rigid institutions enhance the sense of control and promote goal management ability before the critical value, but overloaded rules trigger emotional dissipation, leading to a decline in responsible decision-making ability. Meanwhile, the emotional connection between teachers and students empowers the development of SECs via a dual transmission path: emotional support directly strengthens relational skills and indirectly enhances self-management ability through academic efficacy. Finally, the algorithmic recommendation system generates the “emotional bubble effect”, and the collaborative filtering platform increases homogeneity in students’ social circles, significantly inhibiting the development of social awareness. This paper indicatively proposes an “Adaptive Emotional Governance Network” model consisting of a participatory decision-making module, a cultural immersion system and a digital twin laboratory functioning as an emotional adjustment centre. This model has been empirically verified to increase the growth rate of SECs in conflict situations.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is evolving at a breakneck pace, and it has shown tremendous potential in many fields. Higher education is no exception. At present, traditional higher education faces obstacles in resource utilization and teaching models, which makes it difficult to meet students’ individual learning needs and the urgent expectations of society for versatile innovative talents. Educational reform is imperative. Based on the current context, this paper aims to deeply analyze the integration of AI development and higher education development to formulate relevant policies. Through multidimensional research on teaching strategies, learning strategies, teacher development strategies, and management strategies, this paper clearly proposes that higher education can leverage AI to achieve innovative teaching models, optimized learning experiences, enhanced teaching capabilities, and efficient management. These pathways and methods will drive higher education towards a more intelligent, personalized, and efficient direction.
