Despite the surge of publication of chatbots in the recent years in the field of education, we have little to know how this area has been researched so far, and the metrics of this type of research is still not known. To address such gap, this article offers a descriptive bibliometric study of chatbot research in education, aiming at presenting bibliometric analysis on articles on chatbots in education that were published in journals indexed in the Web of Science (WOS) database specifically Social Science Citation Index (SSCI) and Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) between 2016 and 2023. Descriptive bibliometric analysis was used to examine the data gathered from the chosen publications. including the annual number of articles and citations, the most productive author, countries with the highest publication output, productive affiliations, funding organizations, and publication sources. The bulk of the articles on chatbots in education, according to our dataset, were published between 2016 and 2023. The United States of America tops the list of countries regarding research productivity. The United Kingdom and China were ranked as most second and third productive countries, in terms of publication outputs. “Luke Kutszik Fryer emerged as the most productive author in this research domain in terms of the number of publications.” The University of Hong Kong had the highest number of publications among affiliations, indicating their significant contribution to the field. Additionally, the journal “Computers in Human Behavior” stood out with the highest number of publications per year, highlighting its relevance in publishing research on chatbots in education. This research offers valuable insights and a roadmap for prospective researchers, pinpointing critical areas where success can be attained in the study of chatbots in education.
Since the reform and opening up, China has continuously pushed forward the administrative system reform, adapted to the national conditions and the requirements of the times, and achieved fruitful results. Generally speaking, the successive administrative system reforms have focused on the government and the adjustment of the dynamic relationship between government-market-society. Due to the special characteristics of local foreign affairs departments in the administrative system, the successive reforms have provided less guidance to them, and related research is also relatively lacking. However, from a practical point of view, local foreign affairs offices have long followed the pace of administrative system reform and carried out a series of adjustments and optimizations. As an important element of administrative system reform, the functional transformation of local foreign affairs offices has been continuously promoted along with institutional reform. This research, which is mainly based on talks and supplemented by document comparisons, aims to study the development results and experiences of the Foreign Affairs Office of Shaanxi Province in the context of administrative system reform, and tries to provide a case study for the administrative system reform of local foreign affairs departments.
Background: The prevalence of anxiety among college students is a growing global concern, with a median prevalence of 32%. This study addresses the need for effective interventions within an educational policy framework to alleviate anxiety and promote mental health among college students. Objective: The study aims to evaluate the impact of breathing relaxation exercises and tactile art therapy on college students' self-understanding and psychological well-being, providing reference information for policies and practices in mental health education. Methods: We enrolled 10 college students from X University in South Korea, dividing them into an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group underwent 10 sessions of breathing exercises and tactile art therapy, while the control group received standard psychological counseling. Pre- and post-tests assessed breathing function, self-understanding, and psychological well-being. Results: The experimental group demonstrated significant improvements in breathing function, particularly in forced vital capacity (FVC), and in psychological well-being, as measured by the Psychological Well-Being Scale (PWBS). Sub-factors such as safety, goal orientation, and self-acceptance within self-understanding, self-acceptance, positive relationships, purpose in life, and environmental mastery within psychological well-being, showed notable enhancements. In contrast, the control group did not show significant effects in terms of FVC and FEV1(p > 0.05), and there were no statistically significant differences in the various sub-factors of self-understanding and psychological well-being. Conclusion: The study demonstrates that integrating breathing relaxation exercises and tactile art therapy into educational policy can significantly reduce anxiety and enhance the psychological well-being of college students. These findings suggest that such interventions can be effective components of a comprehensive educational policy aimed at improving student mental health.
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.
