Students’evaluation of moral education is of great significance for improving the quality of teaching.Through a survey of 2715 undergraduates majoring in foreign languages,this paper analyzes their evaluation of the moral education.Findings show that students speak highly of teachers’competence in moral education,teaching methods and the integration of moral education in the textbooks,but not in the course assessment and the overall effect of moral education.Suggestions were proposed accordingly to improve moral education of foreign language education in China.

Efficient Intelligent E-Learning Behavior-Based Analytics of Student’s Performance Using Deep Forest Model

E-learning behavior data indicates several students’activities on the e-learning platform such as the number of accesses to a set of resources and number of participants in lectures.This article proposes a new analytics systemto support academic evaluation for students via e-learning activities to overcome the challenges faced by traditional learning environments.The proposed e-learning analytics system includes a new deep forest model.It consists of multistage cascade random forests with minimal hyperparameters compared to traditional deep neural networks.The developed forest model can analyze each student’s activities during the use of an e-learning platform to give accurate expectations of the student’s performance before ending the semester and/or the final exam.Experiments have been conducted on the Open University Learning Analytics Dataset(OULAD)of 32,593 students.Our proposed deep model showed a competitive accuracy score of 98.0%compared to artificial intelligence-based models,such as ConvolutionalNeuralNetwork(CNN)and Long Short-TermMemory(LSTM)in previous studies.That allows academic advisors to support expected failed students significantly and improve their academic level at the right time.Consequently,the proposed analytics system can enhance the quality of educational services for students in an innovative e-learning framework.

A Comparative Analysis of China’s Student Evaluation in the New Era

Student evaluation,which involves assessing students using specific standards,techniques,and methods,encompasses self-evaluation by students,evaluation by educators,and so on.It has long been a focal point and challenge in China’s educational system reform.This paper aims to broaden the approach to developing and reforming student evaluation within the context of China’s new era by summarizing its evolving characteristics,analyzing its pain points,and comparing the concepts and standards of student evaluation in developed countries with those in China.

The Application of Life-based Teaching Concept in High School Chinese Teaching

This article mainly discusses the application of the concept of life-based teaching in Chinese teaching in senior high schools,so as to improve students’interest in learning and Chinese literacy.Using the method of combining theoretical analysis and case study,this paper conducts in-depth research on the application of life-based teaching concept in Chinese teaching in high school.This paper analyzes the current situation of the development of life-based teaching concept and its specific application in Chinese teaching in senior high schools,and conducts case studies analysis.The concept of life-based teaching has important application value in Chinese teaching in senior high schools.It can help teachers to better link the teaching content with students’real life,and improve students’learning interest and Chinese literacy.

Reflection on Classroom Teaching Innovation Triggered by Non-Engfish Majors＇ Evaluation on Chinese and Foreign Instructor＇s Pedagogies

Non-English majors＇ evaluation on teachers is a vital way to get feedback of English language classroom teaching and learning. This paper reports on a study which used a discourse-analytic approach to look into the existing problems in English classroom teaching at undergraduates＇ level. The ways of searching solutions for the problems are also discussed.

Fertile Harvest on Class-Observation

For language instructors, class-observation seems to be of paramount importance because, on the one hand, we may selectthe essential and put them into practice during the observation. On the other hand, to attend and visit other lecturers' lessons maybroaden our horizons and make new friends. I once did the class-observation when I pursued the master's degree in the U.S.A.,and I learned a lot from it, such as visual aids, the method of small conferences, and in-class practices concerning the evaluation ofstudents' papers. This paper will minutely demonstrate the process and try to give fellow colleagues the benefits of my experienceand perhaps some advice on teaching English.

Position and Perspective of Statistics in Sociology

The paper first gives a brief overview of the use of statistical methods in sociology in order to show the continuity and importance of these methods in the development of sociology as a science. Therefore, education of sociologists requires, among other things, training in statistical methods applicable in data processing and analysis in sociological research. Then the research continues with a comparative analysis of the curricula of undergraduate academic studies of sociology, and especially the presence of statistics teaching in them, in the Republic of Serbia and the neighbouring countries. Different programs of the Department of Sociology of the Faculty of Philosophy in Novi Sad are analyzed together with the results of the students＇ evaluations for the academic years 2007/2008 and 2009/2010.
