Item type:Publication, Flipped Classroom with Virtual Reality Technology Learning Model for Chinese College Students in Psychological Education: A Need Assessment Study(2025-01-01); The growing prevalence of psychological health problems, particularly depression and anxiety, among Chinese college students necessitate innovative approaches to psychological education. This research investigates the psychological education needs of college students and proposes a flipped classroom model integrated with virtual reality (VR) technology to address these needs. A needs assessment survey, employing a 16-item questionnaire with a five-point Likert scale, was conducted to collect data from 400 students selected by stratigied eamdom sampling method from 125 higher education institutions in Anhui Province. The survey explored student perspectives on textbook content, learning outcomes learning methods and technologies. Subsequently, a flipped classroom model incorporating VR technology was developed based on a review of existing literature. This model was then evaluated by a panel of five experts across dimensions of suitability, model components, and learning activities. Quantitative data from the student needs assessment and the expert evaluation were analysed using descriptive statistics. Results from the needs assessment indicated a strong consensus among students (mean scores 4.12-4.77) regarding the importance of psychological education, with 15 of 16 items receiving "strongly agree" ratings. The proposed flipped classroom model, comprising before-class, in-class, after-class and evaluation components, received high ratings from the expert panel (mean scores 4.6-5.0) across all evaluation dimensions. The experts "strongly agree" with the model's suitability and potential effectiveness. This study offers an innovative pedagogical framework for psychological health education in higher education, leveraging VR technology within a flipped classroom design to support students in managing anxiety and depression. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Examining vocational college student learning needs toward entrepreneurship courses in Southwestern China(2025-01-01); ; Cui, JianmingThe present research aimed to study the student learning needs assessments of entrepreneurship courses in vocational colleges of southwestern China to identify students' learning needs based on the perspectives of creativity, openness to experience, project-based blended learning, design thinking, and entrepreneurship courses. The researcher employed a multi-stage sampling method to select a sample size of 400 current vocational students from four regions in southwestern China to participate in this research. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics to determine the means of 15 items. The results showed that the mean values of the items ranged from 3.66 to 4.28, and all items reached at least the need level. Furthermore, respondents strongly agreed on the importance of enhancing openness to experiences and creativity in entrepreneurship courses. Meanwhile, the respondents also indicated the need for project-based blended learning and design thinking as the learning methods to be used in the teaching practices of entrepreneurship. The results of this study are expected to benefit educators in the process of developing new teaching methods and curricula in the field of entrepreneurship education. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Effectiveness of VR Technology Integrated with Flipped Classroom Teaching Model for College Students’ Psychological Health Education(2026-01-01); Although both virtual reality (VR) technology and the flipped classroom teaching model have shown individual promise in educational settings, there is limited empirical research evaluating their combined effectiveness for enhancing college students’ psychological health education. This is especially important as depression and anxiety are increasingly prevalent among Chinese college students. To fill this gap, this study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of VR technology integrated with the flipped classroom teaching model on reducing students’ depression and anxiety levels and enhancing student learning achievement. The researcher used a two-group pretest and posttest experimental design to conduct the experiment, while Zung’s self-rating depression and anxiety scales were used to test participants’ depression and anxiety levels, and learning achievement was tested by the standardized test of psychological health education in Anhui University of Science and Technology. The screening sampling method has been used in the participant selection process to select those who were on a mild depression and anxiety level. 80 participants from Anhui University of Science and Technology were involved in a 10-week experiment. MANOVA has been used to analyze the obtained data. The research findings showed all of the P-values <0.001, indicating that there was a positive influence of VR technology integrated with the flipped classroom teaching model on student depression status, anxiety status, and learning achievement. This study suggested that adopting VR-enhanced flipped classroom practices in psychological health education holds promise for improving both student mental health and academic outcomes, with important implications for curriculum development and educational policy in higher education settings. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Integrating project-based blended learning and design thinking to enhance creativity and openness to experience(2025-01-01); Entrepreneurship education fosters economic growth and career development, yet innovative learning methods and research on openness to experience and creativity remain underexplored in higher vocational education. This study proposes the PjBBL-DT learning model and evaluates its impact on openness to experience and creativity through a 15-week 3-phase quasi-experiment with 61 first-year Chinese vocational students, using PjBBL model in Phase I and PjBBL-DT model in Phases II-III. Five experts evaluated the model, with mean and standard deviation scores indicating high quality. Repeated measures MANOVA revealed a significant improvement in creativity in Phase II, with no significant difference between Phases II and III, suggesting both immediate effects and retention. Openness to experience increased progressively across phases, demonstrating significant improvement but limited retention effect. The findings confirm the model's effectiveness in entrepreneurship education for higher vocational colleges.
