The essence of higher education is to cultivate innovative talents for the society. Hence, higher education institutions (HEIs), on the one hand, need to respond to social needs and government policies. On the other hand, they need to keep pace with the times and improve the details of teaching to improve the effectiveness of education. In this paper, several combination education examples in HEIs about safety education and innovation education are shown to encourage students to realize innovations in technique during their laboratory experiments on electrospinning. To obtain professional knowledge and traditional professional skills, students are taught to implement electrospinning, an advanced technique for treating polymers, in the research laboratory. Safety education is also taught, during which the students are encouraged to play their subjective roles and ponder on how to apply innovations for safe, effective, and innovative implementation. The students apply a series of small technological innovations for the spinneret, which is the most innovative part of an electrospinning system. They can modify the spinneret for safer, more energy-saving, and more convenient operations of the single-fluid blending, coaxial, triaxial, and side-by-side electrospinning processes. Moreover, the innovations can deepen their professional knowledge of electrospinning and stimulate their enjoyment of innovations. Safety education on electrospinning can be a powerful tool for promoting technological innovations in students and increasing their awareness of related safety issues. The reported protocols in this paper show a new way for conducting combined education in HEIs on advanced techniques.

“…However, the globalization of Chinese language transmission has posed a greater challenge to the quality and professional skills of Chinese international education teachers, especially in the cultivation of cross-cultural competence. Effective research on the cultivation of intercultural competence of Chinese international education majors based on cultural self-confidence has been carried out to better cultivate the intercultural competence of students majoring in Chinese international education and to help them have strong intercultural competence on the basis of Chinese language learning so as to help them solve the problems that arise [2] . Chinese language international education is to teach Chinese as a second language and a foreign language, mainly to help people whose mother tongue is not Chinese and to help them master a certain degree of communicative ability in Chinese.…”

The development of Chinese language international education is continuously driving the demand for students' abilities in this specialty in the education market. Therefore, in order to promote the development of Chinese language international education, we now propose a research on the strategy of cultivating multiple competencies of students majoring in Chinese language international education under the multimodal background. Firstly, we analyze the current competence quality situation of students majoring in Chinese international education, and on this basis, we propose the necessity of competence cultivation in terms of cultivation needs of universities and cognitive needs of students, and finally try to put forward optimization suggestions from the standpoints of individual students, supervising teachers, and cultivating institutions. The aim is to promote the cultivation and enhancement of the competence of students majoring in Chinese international teaching and to promote the cultivation of multilevel talents.

“…Returning to in-person instruction, students and instructors alike found a “new normal” that continued to highlight prepandemic concerns about student health and wellness. − The chronic stress following the onset of the pandemic and fears of illness continued through the remainder of 2020 and beyond. , In addition to the usual workloads of STEM courses, chemistry students (and instructors) were tasked with adjusting to instruction and assessment modifications due to masking, socially distanced classrooms, and other COVID-specific protocols. − …”

Ten Minutes a Semester: Evaluation of a Short Wellness Intervention for Undergraduate Chemistry and Biology Courses

et al. 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted many challenges undergraduate students face including their ability to manage stress. Poor stress management can contribute to poor academic performance and health outcomes; better wellness habits and stress reduction go hand-in-hand, as improved wellness habits reduce overall stress and expand positive stress management strategies. This article describes the design of a short wellness intervention for STEM classes and its evaluation after implementation in five chemistry and biology courses that span the four years of a biochemistry degree. This intervention, composed of a short, in-class presentation and an associated supplemental resource handout, presents students with information on five wellness areas: sleep, nutrition, water intake, exercise, and meditation and mindfulness. Students were surveyed at three points (once preintervention and twice postintervention) in one semester and asked to report their perceived stress, current wellness habits, and overall perception of the intervention. Notably, the majority of students (89%) thought the intervention should be included in other courses. The importance of completing the intervention in class was underscored by the small number of students (19%) who reported accessing the additional resources provided outside of class. Student wellness habits did not dramatically shift postintervention, but this study garnered insights into the barriers students face when attempting to change their wellness behavior. Overwhelmingly students reported that academic workload was the dominant factor hindering positive wellness change. The intervention materials, including a suggested script, are shared, and data-supported recommendations for implementation in other courses and institutions are provided.
