With the rapid development of information technology, the traditional teaching mode has been difficult to meet the needs of college English listening teaching. Blended teaching mode, as a new teaching method combining online and offline teaching, is gradually attracting widespread attention. The purpose of this study is to explore the path of college English listening teaching based on blended teaching mode, and analyze its concept, importance and problems that should be paid attention to, in order to provide reference for the reform of college English listening teaching.

Against the backdrop of the deepening advancement of the "Belt and Road" Initiative, the number of West Asian Arab students studying in China has grown rapidly. However, their cross-cultural adaptation issues have become increasingly prominent, posing a key challenge to the quality of their overseas education and necessitating targeted support and intervention. Based on the theoretical framework of cross-cultural adaptation, this study conducts a systematic literature review to explore the adaptation challenges faced by Arab students across three dimensions—sociocultural (cultural identity conflicts, religious and customary differences), academic (divergences in education systems, unfamiliarity with teaching methods), and psychological (culture shock, social isolation)—along with their underlying cultural roots. The research finds that the fundamental cause of adaptation barriers lies in the differences between Islamic cultural traits and the Chinese social environment. Accordingly, this paper proposes systematic countermeasures from two levels: institutional management (improving cross-cultural service systems, establishing psychological support mechanisms, expanding communication platforms) and faculty development (enhancing intercultural competence, optimizing communication methods). The research outcomes not only provide practical guidance for improving the educational quality of Arab students but also offer valuable theoretical references and practical pathways for deepening China-Arab people-to-people exchanges and educational cooperation under the "Belt and Road" framework.

This paper delves into the policies and provisions for gifted and talented youth in Finland, with a focus on its special needs education and gifted pupils. Finland's education system, renowned for its high equality in PISA results, has a well - developed special education history. However, gifted education has long been a gap in legislation. The trend of individualism in Finnish education has brought some opportunities for gifted students, such as curriculum flexibility and acceleration options. Finnish special needs education has strengths like inclusive education and high - quality teachers. Nevertheless, it faces criticisms, including insufficient attention to gifted pupils and an over - emphasis on equality at the expense of individual excellence. In response to PISA score declines, Finland has introduced "phenomenon teaching." Whether these changes can improve educational performance remains to be seen.

Driven by the digital transformation of the global economy and the national policy of "integration of industry and education", this study systematically explores the value co-creation mechanism and action path of the integration of teaching and competition in response to the practical predicament of the disconnection between university market research competitions and professional teaching. By integrating the theory of value co-creation, the theory of constructivist learning and the theory of industry-education integration, an innovative model of tripartite collaboration among "universities - enterprises - students" was constructed. Taking Zhanjiang University of Science and Technology as a case, the effectiveness of the implementation path of "modular reconstruction of courses - collaborative guidance by dual mentors - evaluation of achievement transformation" was verified. Empirical evidence shows that the integration of teaching and competition model can enhance students' market analysis ability by 25.0%, increase the adoption rate of enterprise solutions by 27 percentage points, and raise the conversion rate of achievements from 15% to 45%. The research provides a "theoretically verifiable and operationally feasible" solution to the problem of the disconnection between competition and education, and has significant practical value for promoting the reform of business education and the deep integration of industry and education.

In the existing teaching system, the environmental design professional courses have problems such as unreasonable curriculum setting, disconnection between practice and theory, and poor matching between training objectives and industry needs. To this end, this paper studies the optimization and reorganization strategy of the environmental design professional courses based on the concept of Outcome-Based Education (OBE), aiming to improve the scientific nature and practical adaptability of the curriculum system, solve the problems of loose connection between course modules, insufficient skill training, and lagging behind in the cultivation of students' comprehensive abilities. The research adopts the OBE concept, with "student-centered, learning output-oriented, and ability improvement as the goal" as the core, and optimizes the curriculum through the following strategies: reconstructing course modules, strengthening practical teaching, optimizing the evaluation system and deepening the integration of production and education, relying on corporate internships and school-enterprise cooperation projects to enhance students' industry adaptability and make the course training objectives more closely integrated with actual employment needs. The research results show that the optimized curriculum system under the guidance of OBE concept can significantly improve students' comprehensive ability in the field of environmental design. The OBE optimized curriculum has shown significant effects in improving students' practical ability. Compared with the traditional teaching model, the scores of students in the experimental group in various practical skills have been greatly improved. In terms of hand-drawing performance ability, the score of the experimental group increases from 72.4 points to 89.5 points, an increase of 23.60%.

The course Enterprise Logistics and Supply Chain Management plays a pivotal and guiding role among logistics-related courses. It adopts a teaching model that integrates the "dual-driver" of BOPPPS (Bridge-In, Outcomes, Pre-assessment, Participatory Learning, Post-assessment, Summary) and PAD Class (Presentation-Assimilation-Discussion Class), incorporates blended instruction, and integrates online and offline resources to build a highly interactive and autonomous learning environment. The BOPPPS theory guides the teaching process, covering the stages of bridge-in, outcome setting, pre-assessment, participatory leaming.post-assessment, and summary, ensuring the orderly progress of teaching. The PAD Class model divides the teaching process into teacher presentation (with focused lectures and reserved thinking space), student assimilation, group discussion, and teacher summary, enhancing students' autonomous leaming and pllaborative abilities. Meanwhile, blended instruction empowers classroom teaching, realizing the integration of theory and practice, and addressing the problems in traditional teaching such as low student engagement, poor participation, and insufficient cultivation of students' high- level cognitive skills. Through the implementation of this innovative model, students' learning enthusiasm has been significantly improved, their professional knowledge and practical abilities have been strengthened, and the educational goals of imparting knowledge, developing skills, shaping literacy, and conducting ideological and political education have been effectively achieved.

Sahlberg first introduced the concept of a global education reform movement around standards, accountability, and decentralisation, which is now widely recognised as a "new educational orthodoxy" and exists in many education systems, however, scholars, including Sahlberg, began to show concerns about the effectiveness of this education reform mechanisms. Therefore, this paper examines the development of Korean education as a case study, focuses on five broad characteristics of the global education reform movement, and discusses the changes it has brought in dimensions of the political, economic, and cultural through its development trajectory from the equalisation policies to the elite education. The paper argues that the global education reform movement introduced market mechanisms into the Korean education system and created "education products," like elite high schools, and that these education reforms intensified hierarchical divisions and social stratification. As a result, the creation of a fairer education system is seen as a special concern in current Korean education reform, and the elimination of elite high schools to create the fairest possible education environment can be regarded as a form of resistance to the global education reform movement.

The course of psychological ideological and political education (PE) is a compulsory course for higher education. However, in the process of implementing psychological ideological and political education, teachers' teaching methods are too rigid, teaching knowledge points are too monotonous, and students' learning and understanding level is low, leading to poor teaching conditions. In the current psychology and ideological and political classroom teaching in colleges and universities, the values of college students are seriously affected by the network culture, but also by the impetuous social environment. In the context of the continuous innovation of information technology, how to make psychological ideological and political education highly fit with information technology is an urgent problem in front of teaching workers. The experiment shows that for a long time, the attention of traditional psychological ideological and political teaching classroom activities is relatively low, and the school's attention to classroom activities is only 65%. Teachers only teach by infusion, but the classroom activity rate based on big data is as high as 96%. With the support of big data technology, psychological ideological and political education in colleges and universities can realize personalized, modern and interactive teaching. In the big data environment, colleges and universities should actively guide students to develop in a positive and healthy direction, promote college students to become adults, and achieve high-quality development of psychological ideological and political education.

How to better play the educational function of sports is the fundamental way for education to return to "educating people". This article provided the relationship between the concept of big health and school sports, as well as the limitations of the current development of school sports health. Viewpoints, such as establishing the concept of "health first", fully leveraging the comprehensive educational role of school physical education, reforming teaching methods, and enriching the content and form of physical education practice, were provided. The experimental group formed a cross disciplinary teaching team to carry out teaching in both physical education and health education. The control group consisted of a group of traditional teachers who carried out health education and physical education teaching in schools. Evaluation indicators: methods such as questionnaire surveys and teacher interviews were used to compare the experimental class with the control class. In terms of teaching effectiveness and learning experience scores, the experimental group's teaching effectiveness and learning experience scores were both greater than 8 points. The teaching effectiveness and learning experience scores of the control group were both less than 8 points, which was beneficial for promoting the integration and development of health education and school physical education.
