With the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2019, educational activities have faced significant disruptions, leading to a widespread adoption of online teaching and a transformation in the evaluation of teaching quality. Using CiteSpace visualization software, the study examines 1485 papers from the Chinese database of China Knowledge Network and 1656 papers from the English database of Web of Science (WoS) spanning the period from January 2013 to June 2023 as research samples. The findings reveal heightened activity in China and other countries research on teaching quality evaluation, moreover, research in both contexts predominantly comprises independent studies, supplemented by collaborative efforts. Notably, there is an increased focus on the exploration of online teaching quality evaluation, specifically delving into methodologies and systems. The emphasis has shifted towards students’ learning initiatives and a comprehensive evaluation of teachers’ work before, during and after class. While research in other countries has also identified new hotspots related to online teaching, the number of studies is comparatively limited. The study proposes the imperative need to update the evaluation criteria for online teaching and enhance the infrastructure of online teaching platforms. Additionally, it advocates for reforms in the evaluation systems of educational institutions and innovations of teachers’ instructional methods.
This article aims to explore the training model of preschool physical education teachers based on the theory of "space, capital, and habits". Preschool physical education plays an important role in the development of children's physical fitness and cognitive abilities. This article first introduces the theory of "space, capital, and habits", including its definition and core concepts, as well as its application value in teacher training. Subsequently, a training model for preschool physical education teachers based on this theory was proposed, which includes three elements: space, capital, and habits. In terms of space, it is emphasized to create an environment and place conducive to the professional development of preschool physical education teachers, such as the construction of training institutions and internship bases, and the support of teaching environment and resources. In terms of capital, emphasis is placed on cultivating the professional knowledge and abilities of preschool physical education teachers, including curriculum design and teaching methods, teacher team construction, and professional development mechanisms. In terms of habits, emphasis is placed on cultivating the professional literacy and educational attitude of preschool physical education teachers, including practical links and social participation, evaluation and feedback mechanisms. This training model aims to improve the quality and effectiveness of preschool physical education teacher training, and provide theoretical guidance and practical suggestions for preschool physical education teacher training.
Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) enjoys worldwide reputation among modern writers for her art of the steam-of-consciousness in the 20th century. Mrs. Dalloway is the representative novel in which Woolf well practices her writing skills and finds her true voice, drawing many researchers’ attention. This paper stands the point -- modernism, which responds to literature and society, alternation of space and time arranged by Woolf under the influence of Einstein’s modern science theories, and the disillusionment of Septimus Warren Smith discarded by his so-called modern society after World WarⅠ.
Distance education (DE) has recently become a noteworthy study topic in the public education system. From the Web of Science database, 5719 articles discussing DE and published in the period of 2011–2023 were acquired. By analyzing the overall characteristics, co-citation, and keyword co-occurrence of the selected articles, which utilized Cite Space software, the history of DE could be systematically grasped, thereby reasonably predict the emphases of future development. We found that the number of papers relevant to DE had been rapidly growing since 2018. USA, China, and Turkey are the top three countries where most authors or teams were located. The map of keyword cooccurrence showed that the previous DE research mainly focused on telelearning, adult learning, and distributed learning environment. The recent burst words emerging are used to determine that distance education will continue to be studied in the field with high explosive keywords such as visual tracking, technology acceptance model, and user interface. This will provide suggestions and directions for the development of distance education.
The ability to take advantage of new digital solutions and technology will give companies a competitive edge, and operational optimization remains a major concern. A significant area of risk is cyber security because software-based technologies are integral to ship operations. Particular emphasis has been placed on the vulnerabilities of the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), since it is an essential part of many maritime facilities and hence a target for hackers. Presently, research has shown that increased integration of new enabling technologies, like the Internet of Things (IoT) and big data, is driving the dramatic proliferation of cybercrimes. However, most of the attacks are related to ransomware attacks and/or with direct attack to the information technology (IT) and infrastructure. Nevertheless, there is a strong trend toward increased systems integration, which will produce substantial business value by making it easier to operate autonomous vessels, utilizing smart ports more, reducing the need for labour, and improving economic stability and service efficiency. Cybersecurity is becoming more and more important as a result of the quick digital transformation of the offshore and maritime sectors, which has also brought new dangers and laws. The marine sector has started to take cybersecurity seriously in light of the multiple documented instances of cyberattacks that have exposed business or personal data, caused large financial losses, and caused other problems. However, the body of existing research on emerging threats in maritime cyberspace is either inadequate or ignores important variables. Based on the most recent developments in the maritime sector, the article presents a classification of the most serious cyberthreats as well as the risks to cybersecurity in maritime operations and possible mitigation strategies from an educational research perspective.
