Practice and Evaluation of AI-Assisted Cross-Cultural Critical Thinking Teaching

Jing Li — 2026-01-03

In the context of globalization, cross-cultural critical thinking has become a core competency for individuals to adapt to intercultural communication and social development. 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.

Differentiated Instruction in Junior High School Mathematics Teaching

Han Wang — 2026-01-03

Junior high school mathematics is a foundational subject that lays the groundwork for students’ logical thinking and problem-solving abilities. 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.
