Abstract: In the 21st-century knowledge economy, the emergence of new liberal arts signifies a transformative shift in traditional humanities and social sciences. The concept aims to foster innovative liberal arts education and research to meet the demands of globalization and the information age. New liberal arts emphasize interdisciplinary integration, the cultivation of practical skills, an innovative spirit, and contributions to social and personal development. In this context, psychology, the science of human behavior and mental processes, has gained increasing importance in education. To fulfill the fundamental task of "establishing morality and nurturing people," and to cultivate virtues such as patriotism and public service, we adhere to the principle of "Exploring the Heart, Serving the People." We have developed a high-quality undergraduate training model for psychology that aligns with social development needs. This model integrates the three dimensions of "teaching, research, and application" to cultivate psychology professionals with sound personalities who are dedicated to public service. Through practical exploration, we have established a comprehensive undergraduate curriculum and teaching system that is "broad in scope (teaching), high in ambition (research), and grounded in application." This system includes a high-quality teaching team and a platform for diverse practical experiences, ensuring the integration and mutual reinforcement of curriculum teaching, scientific research, and practical application. Our approach effectively addresses the issues of theory being detached from practice, the disconnection between teaching and research, and the challenges in translating research findings into practice, thereby significantly enhancing the quality of undergraduate training.Abstract: In the 21st-century knowledge economy, the emergence of new liberal arts signifies a transformative shift in traditional humanities and social sciences.

Abstract: With the continuous promotion and deepening of modern teaching methods and concepts in medical education, medical education has been significantly enriched in both content and form. Various forms of practical teaching combined with problems and cases not only deepen students' knowledge of diseases, but also exercise students' clinical thinking and ability to solve actual clinical disease problems. However, the enrichment of these forms and contents still lacks the cultivation of medical students' ability to explore and analyze diseases and to know diseases in general, and the medical students lack the ability to grasp the overall situation and to understand and explore the disease in depth. Medical students are limited to the cognitive level of disease causes, mechanisms, diagnosis and treatment, and lack of overall grasp and in-depth understanding and exploration ability. The study of history of disease can cultivate students' ability to comprehensively analyze and understand the disease through the understanding of people's understanding of the tortuous course of disease knowledge and treatment on the basis of the conventional knowledge of the disease, so that students can have a comprehensive and holistic understanding of the disease from the perspective of society, humanities and other perspectives, and achieve the change from training medical students to training medical scientists.Abstract: With the continuous promotion and deepening of modern teaching methods and concepts in medical education, medical education has been significantly enriched in both content and form.

Abstract: With the increasing demand for nursing professionals in society, the traditional nursing education model is gradually showing limitations that are not compatible with the requirements of modern medical environments. This reality has prompted educators to seek more effective teaching methods to cultivate nursing talents with innovative thinking and practical abilities. In this context, the STEM education concept has emerged as a cross disciplinary integrated educational approach that combines science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, providing new directions and ideas for the reform of nursing education. This study aims to explore the feasibility and effectiveness of applying project-based teaching models based on STEM education concepts to nursing education. Through systematic analysis of relevant literature and practical cases at home and abroad, it is found that the introduction of STEM education concepts can not only improve students' professional knowledge level, but also significantly enhance their innovation ability and practical skills. In the actual teaching process, teachers can encourage students to use scientific principles, technical means, and mathematical models to solve practical nursing problems by designing and guiding interdisciplinary collaborative projects. This project-based teaching model not only enhances students' overall quality and stimulates their creativity, but also makes them more competitive in their future careers. The research results indicate that project-based teaching models based on STEM education concepts can significantly improve the quality and effectiveness of nursing education. By participating in project-based learning, students not only deepen their understanding of nursing knowledge in practical scenarios, but also enhance their practical operational abilities. In addition, this model provides students with a platform to showcase themselves and enhance their abilities, enabling them to cope with challenges more calmly in complex medical environments.Abstract: With the increasing demand for nursing professionals in society, the traditional nursing education model is gradually showing limitations that are not compatible with the requirements of modern medical environments.

Abstract: Aims: Dance education shares great vitality and potential in the 21st Century. The Ministry of Education of China has issued several policies in a row since 2022, these documents included announcing dance as an independent discipline for arts education and the subject of dance is added as part of compulsory education in China, especially for secondary education. These governmental guidelines signify the importance of digging into the changing values and philosophies held by dance education today. To fulfill this purpose, this article aims to provide systematic review on tertiary dance education in China and generalize the basic features of its ontology. Methods: The article utilizes literature review and critical reflection as the main research methods, it proposes five keywords related to contemporary Chinese tertiary dance education: (1) Conservatoire-based tertiary education system; (2) Pedagogies and teaching methods; (3) The product-focused educational philosophy; (4) Spaces; (5) The evolving value of dance education in China, meanings and interpretations of the five keywords are further unpacked and discussed with references of dance scholarships both in Chinese and English. Conclusion: The article claims close association between Confucianism and philosophies of Chinese tertiary dance education, the philosophy of Confucianism set the tone for understanding the rules and expectations of tertiary dance education in China. More research needs to be conducted to articulate its connections and significance.Abstract: Aims: Dance education shares great vitality and potential in the 21st Century.
