The Partnership for 21st Century Skills (P21) was a pioneering force in this movement and developed the Framework for 21st Century Learning in the early 2000s (Shi et al., 2016). In 2012, the U.S. National Research Council issued a report titled Education for Life and Work: Developing Transferable Knowledge and Skills in the 21st Century, which marked a new direction for educational reform and development in the U.S. and provided valuable insights for nations worldwide. The report identified three domains of competence that comprise 21st century skills: cognitive, intrapersonal, and interpersonal. Each domain consists of several clusters of relevant competencies. The cognitive domain includes cognitive processes and strategies, knowledge, and creativity. The intrapersonal domain encompasses intellectual openness, work ethic/conscientiousness, and positive core self-evaluation. The interpersonal domain is divided into two clusters: teamwork and collaboration, and leadership (National Research Council, 2012). Developing these skills is not only crucial for personal growth and achievement, but also essential for the progress of society as a whole. Therefore, individuals and educational institutions should prioritize the cultivation of 21st century skills in today’s rapidly evolving social and economic environment.","PeriodicalId":368876,"journal":{"name":"Science Insights Education Frontiers","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124018134","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While teachers have basic information technology integration ability, their information literacy has not been effectively utilized to promote students’ learning and development. The changing learning methods and evolution of teachers’ information literacy in the “Internet+” era requires a shift in the strategies for improving teachers’ information literacy and ability.

The research focuses on the Education Informatization 2.0 action and takes “5G+education” as the core of teaching activity design. It explores the implementation strategies of “5G+education” teaching activities in combination with online teaching and research during epidemic prevention and control in the 5G era. Additionally, the study explores feasible teaching activity implementation strategies of 5G in educational applications. Although the educational community has not yet formed systematic research and conclusions, and 5G educational applications are still in the exploration stage with considerable challenges in the combination and promotion of 5G and educational scenarios, reasonable use of the advantages of 5G technology to implement teaching activities can effectively solve existing educational problems and promote educational innovation.

The core of the smart classroom is to enable learning to take place in the classroom and nourish literacy. In the context of learning science, the design of intelligent classroom teaching problems is of great significance. Question-oriented teaching is the concrete manifestation of the smart classroom, and its significance lies in the following aspects. Firstly, it provides contextuality. Context problems, known as driving problems, will drive students’ desire to explore. Secondly, it provides a sense of meaning. Problems will make students connect with the real world, thus starting their own learning system. Thirdly, it provides integrity. Lecture-based teaching based on knowledge points often leads to the phenomenon of “seeing only the part but not the whole”. The concept-based problem will form a systematic integration of scattered knowledge. The design of smart classroom teaching problems needs to be based on learning science, in-depth analysis of learners’ characteristics and habits, comprehensive use of learning science research results, technical means and new technologies, and design reasonable teaching programs to meet learners’ needs to the maximum extent, so as to make smart classroom teaching more scientific and effective.","PeriodicalId":368876,"journal":{"name":"Science Insights Education Frontiers","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115631728","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, intelligent governance, as an endogenous force leading the innovation of modern school governance, relies on intelligent technology to deeply integrate intelligent management and school governance. We will truly realize the transformation from the rule of man to the rule of all, from subjective judgment to the governance of schools empowered by digital intelligence, and achieve scientific decision-making in school management, accuracy of intelligent department services, and equalization of resource allocation. To further improve the influence of the school and the strength of software and hardware, we integrate smart education and advocate collaborative governance, so that students can grow in smart education and teachers can improve their professional abilities in modern campus.

In the era of educational informatization 2.0 in China, information technology has become essential tool for modernizing education. English reading instruction today aims to improve students’ English reading abilities and meets the demands of the times. Teachers must integrate information technology and English curriculum effectively. This paper examines how to use information technology to enhance students’ English reading memory ability, comprehension ability, and reading speed. We found that most English teachers can use information technology to improve students’ English reading ability by using computers, mobile phones, and interactive all-in-one computers, and various information software such as questionnaire stars, Tencent documents, etc. English textbooks and English magazine articles can be used as reading materials. The results indicate that students’ mastery of text language knowledge has improved, and they can choose different reading strategies to find the required information, grasp the author’s writing intention, and share their own opinions. The average number of English words read by students per minute has also increased. Finally, this paper proposes some effective strategies that can promote middle school students’ English reading ability. For instance, teachers can use micro-videos and online reading tasks to improve students’ memory ability, group online text analysis to enhance students’ understanding ability, and online time-limited reading training to improve students’ English reading speed.","PeriodicalId":368876,"journal":{"name":"Science Insights Education Frontiers","volume":"96 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131347570","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The subject of this research is to use the visual and interactive features of AR/VR to design a game-based teaching scene that is consistent with the teaching content, attractive, and stimulates students’ interest in learning to improve the learning effect. With the help of 5G+VR technology, students’ classroom experience has transformed from 2D to 3D, from the plane content presented in textbooks and blackboards to more three-dimensional content. For some abstract or invisible content, AR/VR can display visually, which helps to improve cognition and understanding. The specific development process includes three parts. First, determining the development content and designing the script based on the course content and teaching objectives.
