Abstract: Environmental education has become a vital topic in schools nowadays. From primary school to tertiary education, environmental education can be taught in every subject because of its versatility. However, in some universities this is not the case and some students ignore how their majors can contribute to raise their environmental education. The present work is directed to improve the performance of the students at the university level by designing and implementing teaching tasks to raise both their culture and their environmental education from the perspective of Mathematics. Some methods were applied in order to analyze the current design of the Curricular Strategy used in tertiary education and to determine how environmental education should be implemented in the Curricular Strategy without affecting its structure. Problems of differential equations from the discipline of Higher Mathematics were used as an alternative supported by a psycho-pedagogical approach. The exercises achieved the purpose stablished by the authors. Teaching tasks based on everyday life allow the students to understand the essence and get a more global vision of the object of study. This research was considered as a valid contribution for the confection of new curricular strategies and it also served as a basis to inspire some other works from the perspective of Physics and Biology.

Abstract: In 2015, the State Council issued Made in China 2025. The cultivation of professional postgraduates under the background of Made in China 2025 has become a hot spot. At the same time, Made in China 2025 also puts forward new requirements for talent cultivation in Chinese universities. Chongqing has the largest electronic information industry cluster in the world and the largest automobile industry cluster in China. Electronic information is the largest pillar industry in the city. At present, there are few colleges and universities in Chongqing to train electronic information professionals (Masters), which is very mismatched with the rapid industrial development in Chongqing. As a result, the current situation of the existing training system of master's training in electronic information in Chongqing can not meet the talent demand of the electronic information industry in Chongqing. This paper carries out the exploration and practical research on the postgraduate training system from the aspects of the setting of the interdisciplinary curriculum system, the reform of the training mode guided by the industrial demand, the perfect cross-training process, the construction of the curriculum system with Chongqing and industry characteristics under the needs of the new economy, and the construction of innovative practical projects that meet the new requirements and highlight the leading role of enterprises. Combined with the positioning of "local, open and applied", this paper meets the needs of local social and economic development for advanced applied talents of electronic information, constructs the curriculum system of graduate students majoring in electronic information, and creatively explores new countermeasures for the cultivation of graduate students majoring in electronic information under the new situation, to improve the traditional cultivation mode of professional master students in Colleges and universities, Apply the connotation of new engineering to the reform of training mode, effectively improve the training quality of master's degree students majoring in electronic information, and provide a strong guarantee for the training of senior technical talents facing the electronic information industry (especially the electronic information industry in Chongqing).

Abstract: In the context of Belt and Road cooperation, China and the central and eastern European countries have been developing the cooperation under the frame of “17+1” multilateral cooperation mechanism, with remarkable outcome achieved. With the increasing exchanges and cooperation in the fields of economy and trade, education, humanities and so on, the number of Chinese-funded enterprises in central and eastern European countries has been increasing, the demand of international integrated talents with strong cross-cultural communication ability is on the rise. This paper aims to find a resolution of cultivating qualified talents with the capacity in both cross-cultural communication and academic majors, by carrying out a study on the joint master program between two higher educational institutions of China and eastern Europe. Tianjin University of Technology and Education of China together with University of Banja Luka in Bosnia-Herzegovina has carried out an online joint program for masters majoring in economics and trade with mutual recognition of academic credits. The study evaluated the result of the joint program through various interviews and data analyses, which showed good an outcome in promoting mutual understanding and academic major improvement. The paper described in detail the profits of the program for the students, the teachers and universities from both sides and then further listed the future cooperation strategies and steps from the aspects of governments, universities and faculties, etc. Hope this study can provide a good example of joint talent-cultivation for the higher educational institutions between China and the central and eastern European countries, thus providing talent support for the cooperation between China and Bosnia-Herzegovina (BiH) and even for the development of the Belt and Road Initiative.

Abstract: Although evidence-based practice provides the best diagnosis and treatment decisions for patients, there is no relevant theoretical basis for designing an evidence-based practice curriculum for medical students. Also, no study has been conducted to investigate the attitude and behaviour of evidence-based practice among resident doctors in China. Therefore, this study aims to identify the beliefs and implementation of evidence-based practice among registered resident doctors in Lianyungang First People's Hospital. A descriptive cross-sectional design was used to recruit 257 participants conveniently. Beliefs about the evidence-based practice was evaluated using the Evidence-Based Practice Beliefs scale. In addition, the implementation of Evidence-Based Practice was evaluated using the Evidence-Based Practice Implementation scale. Participants' rate of evidence-based practice was 71.60%. Cronbach's alpha was more than 0.90 for each scale. Participants who had learned about evidence-based medicine gave significantly higher scores on the Evidence-Based Practice Beliefs scale and Evidence-Based Practice Implementation scale than those who did not. This study demonstrates that resident doctors develop a positive attitude towards evidence-based practice but exercise it to a lesser extent. Integrating the theory course of evidence-based medicine at the undergraduate level with the practice course at the standardized training stage is crucial to improving their practice, aiming to enhance that patients receive the best available care based on high-quality evidence.

Abstract: The study sought to determine the challenges interns go through during internship, focusing mainly on curriculum resources, professional and academic issues, mentoring and supervision. The instruments for collection of data were mainly questionnaires and observations. These instruments were used to gather data from a sample size of 231 interns for the study. The main findings revealed that inadequate curriculum resources in the schools of internship, ill-funded internship programme, library facilities and ill-equipped classroom furniture militate against successful implement of the programme. The study further observed that interns lacked the skills of reflective practice, teaching of core subjects in the basic school curriculum and effective classroom management practices. Recommendations were made on the need to increase funding for curriculum material to schools by the Government, Donors, Non-governmental Organisations (NGOs) and the Community concerned. A mechanism should also be put in place for interns to evaluate the system. As it stands now, interns, who are key stakeholds do not take part in evaluating the programme directly.
