Generative Innovation Strategies for Junior High School Chinese Language Classroom Teaching Management: A Humanistic and Digitally Empowered Governance Framework

Against the background of educational modernization and the policy orientation toward reducing excessive academic burden while enhancing learning efficiency, classroom teaching management is undergoing a fundamental transformation. Traditional management models that emphasize behavioral control and procedural compliance are increasingly insufficient for supporting deep learning, student agency, and sustainable classroom order. This study aims to reconceptualize junior high school Chinese classroom teaching management from a generative and learning-oriented perspective. Drawing on humanistic educational theory, interactive learning research, feedback literacy frameworks, and digital empowerment studies, this paper adopts a conceptual and theoretical synthesis methodology to construct an integrated governance framework. The study proposes a three-ring generative classroom governance model consisting of rule co-construction, task generation, and feedback cycles. The model embeds classroom order within learning processes, enabling discipline and engagement to develop simultaneously rather than in opposition. The findings indicate that effective classroom management should function as an organizational infrastructure for learning, rather than as an external mechanism of control. Digital technologies are further positioned as governance infrastructure that supports process visualization, real-time feedback, and differentiated participation. This study contributes a transferable theoretical framework for innovation in classroom teaching management, offering practical implications for learning-centered governance under contemporary education reform contexts.

Study Motivation, Self-Esteem and Stress in University Students with Special Educational Needs: A Comparative Analysis with Normotypical Students

This study examines the relationship between self-esteem, study motivation, attentional difficulties, and perceived stress among university students with special formative needs, including specific learning disorders and disabilities), certified by public healthcare institutions. The research aims to compare these students  (n. 150) with their typically developing peers (n. 150) to identify differences in academic and psychological factors. Results indicate that students with special needs demonstrate similar organizational study skills but exhibit higher metacognitive awareness and information processing abilities, likely as a compensatory mechanism. However, they face greater challenges in planning and structuring their learning process. While their perceived stress levels are slightly higher, their self-esteem is unexpectedly higher than that of typically developing students, possibly due to the resilience developed through overcoming academic difficulties. These findings highlight the importance of tailored support programs, including tutoring, digital tools, and psychological support, to enhance study strategies and stress management for both student groups. Addressing these challenges effectively could lead to a more inclusive and successful academic experience for all students.

The Effect of Kahoot on EFL Students’ Reading Comprehension: A Quasi-Experimental Study

This study examined the effect of using Kahoot on students’ reading comprehension of descriptive texts in an EFL classroom. A quantitative approach employing a quasi-experimental design was used. The participants were 54 tenth-grade students from a senior high school in Palembang, Indonesia, divided into an experimental group and a control group. Data were collected through pretests and posttests consisting of 20 multiple-choice items. The findings revealed that students taught using Kahoot achieved a significantly higher posttest mean score (M = 81.85) than those taught through conventional instruction (M = 62.22). An independent samples t-test indicated a statistically significant difference between the two groups (t = –11.420, p < 0.05). These results demonstrate that the use of Kahoot had a positive and significant effect on students’ reading comprehension achievement. It can be concluded that integrating Kahoot into reading instruction is an effective pedagogical strategy for improving EFL students’ comprehension of descriptive texts. The findings suggest that game-based digital learning tools can enhance engagement and learning outcomes in secondary school English classrooms.
