However, traditional cross-cultural teaching often faces limitations such as single teaching resources, insufffcient interactive scenarios, and difffculty in personalized guidance, which restrict the cultivation of students’ critical thinking. With the rapid development of artiffcial intelligence (AI) technology, AI-assisted teaching has emerged as an effective way to break through these bottlenecks. This paper explores the theoretical connotations of cross-cultural critical thinking and the supporting role of AI technology,aims to provide theoretical reference and practical guidance for promoting the modernization of cross-cultural teaching and improving the effectiveness of students’ cross-cultural critical thinking cultivation.</p>2026-01-03T14:10:16+00:00Copyright (c) 2026 Jing Lihttps://ojs.luminapress.co.uk/index.php/EIRE/article/view/181Moral Education in the Family: Theoretical Foundations and Innovative Paths2026-01-03T14:13:07+00:00Hanyu Wuyiborap@outlook.comHong Wangyiborap@outlook.com<p>Family moral education serves as the cornerstone of individual socialization and the foundation of social moral construction. This paper examines the theoretical foundations, contemporary challenges, and innovative paths of moral education within the family context. The research identiffes that the moral function of the family manifests primarily through daily life practices, with ethical education and life education constituting its core components.Drawing on Emile Durkheim’s theoretical framework, which conceptualizes the family as “having moral function but not serving as a specialized moral institution,” this study emphasizes the necessity of collaborative efforts between families and schools. The life-oriented approach to moral education, which integrates ethical learning into daily family interactions, is crucial for fostering children’s altruistic tendencies and internalization of collective consciousness.</p>2026-01-03T14:10:34+00:00Copyright (c) 2026 Hanyu Wu, Hong Wanghttps://ojs.luminapress.co.uk/index.php/EIRE/article/view/180Labor Education in Higher Vocational Institutions: Theoretical Foundations and Innovative Paths2026-01-03T14:13:08+00:00Zhiliang Gaoyiborap@outlook.com<p>Labor education in higher vocational institutions serves as a critical foundation for cultivating well-rounded technical and skilled talents.

However, the inherent differences in students’ cognitive levels, learning paces, and mathematical literacy pose signiffcant challenges to traditional “one-size-ffts-all” teaching models. Differentiated instruction, rooted in educational equity and individualized development, has emerged as a promising approach to address these challenges. This paper explores the theoretical underpinnings and core connotations of differentiated instruction, analyzes its practical implementation paths in junior high school mathematics teaching (including pre-class student grouping, in-class content and method differentiation, and after-class homework and tutoring stratiffcation), discusses its inherent advantages and practical challenges, and proposes targeted optimization strategies. The research aims to provide theoretical reference and practical guidance for improving the effectiveness of junior high school mathematics teaching and promoting the all-round development of students at different levels.</p>2026-01-03T14:12:18+00:00Copyright (c) 2026 Han Wanghttps://ojs.luminapress.co.uk/index.php/EIRE/article/view/173Collaborative Education Between Ideological and Political Education and Student Management in Higher Vocational Institutions2026-01-03T14:13:14+00:00Di Zhuangyiborap@outlook.com<p>The integration of ideological and political education with student management in higher vocational institutions represents a crucial strategy for implementing the fundamental task of fostering virtue and cultivating talents.
