Title of Keynote Speech:The Establishment of a Harmonious Relationship between Graduate Students and Supervisors - A Qualitative Study based on Grounded Theory
Abstract:
The relationship between graduate students and supervisors is a special social interpersonal relationship, and a harmonious relationship between graduate students and supervisors is an effective guarantee for improving the quality of graduate education. This paper is based on real cases and focuses on conflicts and contradictions in the guidance process. The survey subjects are teachers and students, and materials are collected through open questionnaires and in-depth interviews. Using the analysis path of Grounded Theory for reference, this paper analyzes the factors that affect the harmonious development of learning guidance relationship, and points out that the main factors that affect the harmonious development of learning guidance relationship are: thinking and cognitive difference between supervisors and graduate students, individual factors and the influence of behavior style, improper and ineffective communication, single angle cognition and judgment, negative emotional interference, early accumulation effect. Based on case studies, this paper further explores the construction path of a harmonious learning guidance relationship.
Keywords: learning guidance relationship; graduate education; conflicts between graduate students and supervisors; ideological and political education for guidance and learning; grounded theory

Title of Keynote Speech:
“New Terminology” and “New Knowledge”: An Examination of the Use of Words in the Translation of Mathematics in the Ming and Qing Dynasties
Abstract:
In the process of translating Western mathematics, the Ming and Qing dynasties established a large number of mathematical terms and formed a system of Chinese translations of mathematical terms. At the same time, these terms were accompanied by the introduction of a new system of mathematical knowledge, especially the introduction of the Western deductive logic system and the empirical scientific method, as well as a systematic system of symbolic representation, all of which contributed to the enlightenment of modern scientific thought and the widespread development of social scientific and technological practice, and benefited future generations far and wide, and were of positive significance for the continuation of the idea of meeting Chinese and Western science and technology, the transmission of the scientific spirit of seeking truth and seeking reality, and the popularization and innovation of science and technology. All of them have positive significance.

Title of Keynote Speech:
Leading with Resilience: Research Observations and Implications
Abstract:
Principalship itself is generally considered a high-risk profession due to the high burden of the profession, increasing accountability and standardisation, challenging societal demands, complex management mechanism, constant change, and unprecedented uncertainties. Leading a school during the uncertainties of challenges, changes, and crises requires school principals to respond and react effectively, cohesively and proactively using resilience. This presentation will introduce the needs of principal resilience in the post-pandemic period in particular. The concepts, measurements and observations of principal resilience will be discussed based on the speaker’s research findings. The implication for future research on principal resilience will be also pointed out.

Title of Keynote Speech: Challenges in Blended Learning
Abstract:
Blended learning is widely regarded as an approach that combines the benefits afforded by face-to-face and online learning components. However, this approach of combining online with face-to-face instructional components have raised concerns over the years. Several studies have highlighted the overall challenges of blended learning mode of instruction as a whole, but there has been no clear understanding of the challenges that exist in the online component of blended learning. Thus, a systematic review of literature was conducted with the aim of identifying the challenges in the online component of blended learning from students, teachers and educational institutions perspectives. Self-regulation challenges and challenges in using learning technology are the key challenges that students face. Teachers challenges are mainly on the use of technology for teaching. Challenges in the provision of suitable instructional technology; and effective training support to teachers are the main challenges faced by educational institutions. This review highlights the need for further investigations to address students, teachers and educational institutions challenges in blended learning. In addition, we proposed some recommendations for future research.
