This study explores the experiences and perceptions of Chinese postgraduate students in the UK regarding online learning, focusing on the Community of Inquiry (CoI) framework. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect qualitative data, which were analyzed thematically. The findings reveal positive perceptions of online learning, challenges related to technology and infrastructure, the significance of social interaction and collaboration, and the limited impact of teaching quality on student satisfaction. The study emphasizes the importance of the CoI framework in designing effective online learning environments. Limitations include a small sample size and potential bias. Future research should involve larger and more diverse samples, investigate different teaching strategies, and enhance student agency and self-regulated learning in online education. Overall, this study contributes to understanding the applicability of the CoI framework and its potential for improving online learning experiences.

In the context of big data, the teaching of financial accounting for vocational undergraduate students needs to be continuously optimized and innovated. This article provides a brief analysis of the current situation of financial accounting teaching for vocational undergraduate students. It also analyzes the phenomena of outdated teaching concepts, outdated teaching content, and unreasonable teaching objectives in the current teaching of financial accounting for vocational undergraduate students. It proposes the idea of innovating teaching concepts in current teaching work, clarifying teaching objectives, integrating flipped classroom reform teaching mode, and introducing project-based teaching method to improve teaching efficiency, so as to achieve more efficient teaching guidance for students.

With the development of the new situation, the "00s" have become the mainstream college students in universities, and the "05s" are about to enter universities. The group of college students born in the 2000s has shown ideological characteristics such as high openness, strong self-esteem, strong individualism, active thinking, and weak psychological resilience, which have brought new challenges to ideological and mental health education in universities. At present, it has become a common trend for graduate students in universities to serve as part-time counselors, and the structure of university counselors is generally "a combination of full-time and part-time, with full-time as the main focus, and full-time leading and part-time". As a full-time counselor in a university, I have worked as a part-time counselor during my graduate studies. Based on my personal and practical experience as a part-time counselor, I will consider and study the impact of part-time counselors on the construction of the university counselor team. In order to make the construction of the university counselor team more professional, professional, and diversified, I will propose constructive suggestions.

This study explored the relationship between Chinese graduate students’ English language proficiency (ELP) and intercultural communicative competence (ICC). With the acceleration of globalization, an increasing number of Chinese students choose to study abroad, making it crucial to enhance their intercultural communication ability and language skills. However, China’s exam-oriented education system to some extent limits students’ holistic development and poses challenges for them in intercultural exchange. A quantitative survey method was employed, collecting questionnaire data from 249 Chinese English-major graduate students to analyze the relationship between their English ability and intercultural competence. The results indicated a certain positive correlation between English proficiency and intercultural competence but also pointed to the need for further unpacking of complexity and influencing factors. Future research with more robust methodology is still warranted to provide deeper insights into the linkage between the two constructs in the Chinese graduate context.

Sustainable hybrid education is an educational approach that combines multiple kinds of instruction. Online education and traditional face-to-face education will be implemented in tandem to propel the educational process towards contemporary approaches, with the aim of achieving high-quality outcomes and staying abreast of scientific and technical advancements. The objective of this study is to determine the correlation between hybrid education, which is a sustainable model, and the academic performance of graduate students in select Egyptian universities, based on international quality criteria. The study employed a descriptive analytical methodology, and data was collected using a meticulously designed computerized questionnaire, whose validity and reliability were verified using proper statistical techniques. The study sample comprised 2235 postgraduate students enrolled in Egyptian universities, specifically Cairo, Helwan, and Ain Shams. The study’s findings determined that the extent of hybrid education and the efficacy of the procedure. The sample members possess a high level of education, and hybrid education has a significant positive influence on the quality of the educational process. Hybrid education mostly impacts the academic components, and there are variations among universities in implementing hybrid education, with Ain Shams University being particularly favorable towards it. The study proposed enhancing the university’s human resources for students, faculty, and staff, as well as assuring the availability of diverse gadgets and resources utilized in the hybrid education setting.
