Application of Large Language Models-Based Pedagogical Agents in Classroom Teaching

2025-10-23T09:03:49+08:00

With The innovative potential of Large Language Models (LLMs) in classroom instruction is becoming increasingly prominent, offering a transformative path for the field of education. The paper focuses on the application of LLM-based pedagogical agents in classroom teaching, aiming to address the limitations of traditional classrooms in providing personalized support and proactive services through their capabilities in multi-modal understanding, natural language generation, and task planning. Centered around an LLM, the pedagogical agents construct a digital brain equipped with reasoning, planning, and interactive abilities, serving multiple roles throughout the entire teaching process—including as a teacher’s assistant, a learning companion, and a personal tutor. The paper elaborates on its specific applications: generating intelligent resources and supporting instructional design during lesson preparation, acting as an interactive medium to facilitate teacher-student communication and personalized guidance during class, and serving as a one-on-one tutoring tool for reinforcement and generative assessment after class. Research shows that the pedagogical agent can effectively enhance teaching efficiency, increase student engagement, and promote the practical implementation of the modern educational philosophy of student-centered learning.

Mental Health Perceptions and Help-Seeking Behaviors among International Students in UK Universities: A Qualitative Literature Review

2025-10-23T09:03:44+08:00

This literature review examines the mental health and help-seeking behaviors of international students in the UK universities. The study explores the dynamic interplay of cultural, institutional, and individual factors that shape students’ psychological well-being and the support systems. Based on the qualitative studies, the literature review reviews that students from collectivist cultures, such as those of African, Caribbean, and Chinese heritage, often navigate stigmatization of mental health and prefer coping mechanisms, such as peer or family support, rather than professional counselling. Barriers hindering help-seeking behaviors include limited awareness of counselling services, language difficulties, and cultural misalignment. Consequently, international students underutilized the mental health support systems of UK universities and lacked culturally attuned engagement strategies. Peer-arrival orientation and peer network are effective interventions to improve well-being and adaptation. The literature reviews advocate accessible and culturally sensitive mental health strategies within UK universities. Longitudinal qualitative research is recommended to trace the coping mechanisms across students’ academic journeys. Through those endeavors, higher education institutions can enhance the academic success and well-being of the diversified international community.

The Manifestation of Core Competencies in English Education

2025-10-23T09:03:40+08:00

The core competencies of the English subject represent the concentrated embodiment of its educational value. They encompass the correct values, essential character traits, and key abilities that students gradually develop and enhance through English curriculum learning to meet the demands of the information age, knowledge society, globalization, and their lifelong personal development. Comprising four key elements—linguistic competence, cultural awareness, thinking quality, and learning ability—the core competencies of the English subject represent an integrated set of skills that are mutually permeating, interacting, and developing harmoniously. They constitute the educational goal of cultivating students’ moral character through English education and serve as the evaluation criteria for the effectiveness of high school English education and students’ academic performance in English. This paper emphasizes the design of teaching objectives centered around the core competencies of the English subject and the enrichment of the teaching process. By placing students at the center, deeply integrating the concept of core competencies, and innovating teaching methods, the paper aims to achieve an organic combination of knowledge transmission and competency cultivation.

Analysis of the Practical Value of Virtual Simulation Technology in the Teaching of Critical Care Nursing for Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

2025-10-23T09:03:36+08:00

Objective: To explore the application effect of virtual simulation technology in the teaching of critical care nursing for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and to provide a basis for optimizing the nursing teaching model in the Department of Rheumatology and Immunology. Methods: Twenty nursing interns who interned in the Department of Rheumatology and Immunology of the hospital from July 2024 to August 2025 were selected as the research subjects, and they were given a 4-week “virtual simulation + traditional teaching” intervention. The theoretical assessment scores, practical assessment scores, and clinical decision-making ability scores were compared before the intervention (baseline) and after the intervention (end of teaching). Meanwhile, the ability to simulate the handling of adverse events (identification time, emergency implementation time, and correct handling rate) before and after the intervention was compared. Combined with the teaching satisfaction survey after the intervention, the practical value of virtual simulation technology was analyzed. Results: After the intervention, the theoretical assessment scores, practical assessment scores, and clinical decision-making ability scores of the 20 research subjects were significantly higher than those before the intervention, with statistically significant differences (P < 0.05). After the intervention, the identification time of adverse events and the implementation time of emergency measures for the 20 research subjects were significantly shorter than those before the intervention, and the correct handling rate was significantly higher than that before the intervention, with statistically significant differences (all P < 0.05). After the intervention, among the 20 research subjects, 15 (75.0%) were “very satisfied”, 4 (20.0%) were “generally satisfied”, and 1 (5.0%) was “unsatisfied”, with an overall satisfaction rate of 95.0% (19/20). Conclusion: Virtual simulation technology can improve the teaching quality of critical care nursing for SLE, enhance the theoretical mastery, practical ability, and clinical decision-making ability of intern nurses, and is worthy of promotion and application in the nursing teaching of the Department of Rheumatology and Immunology.

Innovations and Challenges of AI-empowered Career Education for College Students

2025-10-23T09:03:29+08:00

Amid the rapid advancement of AI technology, career education for college students urgently requires transformation. Generative AI offers a novel approach to innovating career education: personalized career planning is achieved through precise profiling systems based on big data, learning experiences are enhanced via immersive scene reconstruction (such as virtual simulation technology), and traditional didactic methods are supplanted by coaching guidance to foster students’ independent exploration. AI-driven career education encounters significant challenges, such as data privacy and ethical concerns, algorithmic bias leading to compliance issues, and threats to educational equity due to unequal distribution of technical resources. Future career education must balance technological advancement with humanistic values, leveraging AI’s efficiency and intelligence while maintaining a “people-oriented” educational approach. This balance aims to nurture well-rounded individuals who possess both professional expertise and social responsibility.
