Abstract: China's higher education system is continuously improving, and professional graduate education is rapidly developing. However, it also faces challenges in quality assessment. Due to the highly specialized and practical nature of professional graduate education, traditional evaluation paradigms no longer suffice to meet the needs of quality management in this context. This study advocates a dynamic evaluation approach that spans the entirety of professional graduate education, addressing these issues effectively. The proposed evaluation model comprises five stages: Enrollment Stage evaluation, Admission Stage assessment, Course Progression Stage evaluation, Thesis section assessment and Graduate Tracking. This multi-phase approach ensures continuous monitoring and enhances the precision and predictability of quality management. The Enrollment Stage evaluation phase rigorously assesses applicant qualifications, ensuring that admitted students possess the necessary prerequisites for success, thereby elevating the overall cohort quality. In-program assessment is a continuous process, including Admission Stage assessment, Course Progression Stage evaluation, Thesis section assessment, focusing on students' progress throughout their academic journey, allowing timely interventions and improvements where required. Pre-graduation evaluation gauges students' readiness for graduation, while post-graduation tracking evaluation monitors graduates' career trajectories, providing valuable feedback for program enhancement. Implementing this comprehensive evaluation model aligns professional graduate cultivation with the evolving needs of students, the job market, and society. It not only elevates educational quality but also strengthens the connection between academic institutions and industry requirements, contributing to more successful professional graduate cultivation outcomes. This proactive and tailored approach to quality management significantly advances the field, ensuring that China's professional graduate student cultivation continues to meet the highest standards.

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to assess the practice and challenges of student-centered approaches to learning. To this end, Mi’esso secondary school, which is found in West Hararghe Zone, Mi’esso Woreda, was selected. The participants of the study were four EFL teachers and 195 students in grade ten. A descriptive research design was used to conduct this study, and simple random sampling techniques for students and availability sampling were used for EFL teachers. Instruments used to collect data were a questionnaire, an observation checklist, and an interview. Then the data were analyzed through frequency and percentage score for quantitative data, and data obtained through observation and interview were analyzed qualitatively. The findings of the study revealed that the majority of EFL teachers had used traditional approaches or teacher- centered language learning method. The commonly stated factors for the low level of practicing student-centered approach were: most teachers have a tendency to use traditional methods/ lecture methods, there is lack of interest to practice leaner centered approach, large classroom size and poor classroom condition and another factor that affect leaner centered approach, and teachers and students have problems to implement leaner centered approach though they believe that it helped them. Finally, recommendations were forwarded based on the major findings of the study. Accordingly, it is suggested that for EFL teachers: For effective practice of learner -centered approach in the EFL classes, teachers should perceive the importance of learner centered approach, teachers should use and practice learner centered approach in their EFL classes, so EFL teachers should practice learner centered approach using various teaching aids in the EFL classes, EFL teachers should continue to motivate, encourage, give attention for student-centered and support students’ participation in the classroom. Students should: practice student-centered approach of learning in the classroom, and should participate actively in the classroom. Ministry of education: should give training for Teachers, should arrange the classroom condition. For other researchers: Since the student-centered approach is not implemented in this study, then it is recommended for other researchers to undergo further research in studying the assessment of student-centered approaches of leaning in English language classroom.

Abstract: The purpose of this article is to assess the potential of a technological artifact called "Learning 6.5 system" that addresses both the long-standing need to simplify the computerization of scientific and technical documents and the emerging need for online teaching and evaluation of scientific knowledge. The Learning 6.5 system is a complete e-learning solution that offers end-to-end management of the entire process of computerizing teaching and evaluation materials, distributing and delivering courses, organizing and grading assignments or exams, and publishing results. Its integration of scientific knowledge processing & presentation technology with multimedia & internet technology significantly improves online learning experiences and results. The Learning 6.5 system is built upon a totally new concept based on an original technology for processing composite characters (structural units consisting of ordinary characters, mathematical symbols, polymer structural formulae, geometrical configurations, etc.) and on a non-linear document theory that allows for the appropriate solution of digital processing and network transmission of ordinary, scientific and technical documents, as well as the dynamic presentation of natural logic. Consequently, it makes possible, for the first time in history, real and effective face-to-face "student-teacher" distance learning and online state examinations including middle and high school entrance exams, university entrance exams, university exams, etc.

Abstract: With the continuous reform of the education system, the country pays more and more attention to the development of vocational education, and the modern apprenticeship system comes into being. Although the adoption of modern apprenticeship teaching mode can realize the effective combination of theory and practice to a certain extent, and improve students' practical ability and application ability, this mode still faces some practical difficulties in the concrete practice process, one is the lack of strong coordination at the government level, the other is the marginalization of school teachers, and it is difficult to form educational synergy. Third, the cultivation potential of enterprises is not fully developed. Therefore, in view of the practical difficulties faced by China's modern apprenticeship teaching mode, this paper proposes relative solutions from the aspects of integrating teaching resources by relying on regional economy, formulating teaching objectives and evaluation standards by the government, schools and enterprises, bridging the boundary between theoretical and practical courses in teaching content, and creating specialty groups with characteristics, etc., so as to provide reference for the smooth implementation of modern apprenticeship. In order to change the realistic predicament of modern apprenticeship in vocational education and ensure the effectiveness of modern apprenticeship teaching mode.

Abstract: The objective of this study is to realize a debugging support tool to help programming novices solve program errors efficiently. The proposed tool accumulates and stores failure knowledge, including examples of errors encountered by novice programmers and their solutions. By utilizing this database, the tool can search and find appropriate solutions to errors encountered by users in real time. Errors are categorized as compile errors, link errors, run-time errors, and logic errors, each of which has its own unique solution. In this study, particular emphasis is placed on assistance with compile errors. Failure knowledge consists of sample source code that includes the location and cause of errors encountered by the novice user, as well as solutions. When an error occurs, the user enters the relevant source code and error message into the tool, and the tool searches the database to provide the corresponding solution and explanation. The system also provides a space for users to enter their own analyses and explanations, which can be shared with other novices to promote mutual understanding. The proposed system utilizes a structured database for efficient error resolution, containing tables for storing and retrieving error messages, corresponding references, and user considerations. The effectiveness and applicability of the proposed tool should be verified.
