Digital Transformation in Vocational Education:Present Situation,Problems,and Countermeasures

Digital transformation has become a crucial part in the modernization of vocational education,gaining considerable attention.Presently,guided by relevant national policies and projects,digital transformation in vocational education has yielded remarkable outcomes,specifically in digital supporting conditions,innovative teaching and learning methods,digital teaching proficiency,digital governance frameworks and models,and digital systems and mechanisms.Nevertheless,digital transformation in vocational education is challenged by a multitude of demands.They include advancing students’learning capability and initiative,further integrating information technology into teaching,updating and upgrading the essence and level of digital teaching proficiency,raising data-driven management and service abilities,leveling up digital supporting conditions,and improving digital systems and mechanisms.Thus,during the 14th Five-Year Plan period,a significant upgrade in digital vocational education should be made by enhancing the strategic comprehension and developmental stance of digital transformation,adopting a rational view on digital transformation,and elucidating the ideas and strategies pertaining to digital transformation.

Analysis of the Impact of Unequal Distribution of Educational Resources in Rural Areas of China on Educational Equity

This paper examines the unequal distribution of educational resources in rural areas of China and its impact on educational equity.Through a comprehensive analysis of existing literature,case studies,and statistical data,the research identifies key disparities in areas such as teacher-to-student ratios,educational infrastructure,and educational attainment.The study also explores the long-term effects of these disparities on social mobility and economic development in rural regions.Drawing on international experiences from countries like Finland,South Korea,and Brazil,the paper offers policy recommendations and a practical pathway for reform.These include enhancing investment in rural education,improving teacher recruitment and retention,standardizing the curriculum,leveraging technology,strengthening early childhood education,and promoting lifelong learning opportunities.The paper concludes with a call to action for policymakers,educators,and community leaders to work collaboratively towards achieving educational equity and social justice in China.

Research on the Mechanism of the Impact of Educational Gamification on Middle

This study presents an in-depth examination of the impact of educational gamification on middle school students’learning motivation through a mixed-methods approach.The integration of quantitative survey data and qualitative interviews and observations revealed that gamification significantly enhances intrinsic motivation by increasing interest and engagement in a learning environment.The study also found that gamification indirectly boosts extrinsic motivation through the augmentation of social interaction and learning engagement.Structural equation modeling underscored the direct and indirect effects of gamification on learning motivation.The findings suggest that educators should integrate gamification elements into their teaching designs,focus on fulfilling students’psychological needs for autonomy,competence,and relatedness,and leverage social interactions to foster motivation.The study’s contributions to the educational field include empirical evidence of gamification’s impact and a multidimensional perspective that strengthens the depth of understanding in the application of gamification.However,the study acknowledges limitations such as potential biases and a non-representative sample,calling for future research to address these issues through broader and longitudinal studies.
