Research on the Deficiencies and Cultivation Paths of Physics Teachers’ AI Digital Literacy
by Hangfei Liu

Lifelong Education , Vol.14, No.3, 2025; 17 Views

The current level of AI digital literacy among high school physics teachers is generally characterized by “initial awareness but insufficient application.” Key shortcomings include a lack of fundamental AI knowledge and interdisciplinary understanding, weak classroom application skills, and a disconnect between instructional design and subject integration. While the development pathways are diverse, practical support and resource distribution remain uneven. To enhance teachers’ AI literacy, efforts should focus on improving a tiered training system, innovating teaching practices, and establishing robust support mechanisms. Through structured courses, project-based tasks, and policy incentives, AI can be transformed from a mere auxiliary tool into a deeply integrated element of physics education.

by Ran Xuefeng

Lifelong Education , Vol.14, No.3, 2025; 13 Views

This paper examines the translation of culturally loaded terms in Chinese-English academic papers and proposes corresponding compensation strategies. It begins by defining these terms and their significance in scholarly writing, then analyzes key causes of translation deviations—including cultural context differences, structural variations, and translators’ insufficient cultural competence. The study further explores how such deviations can lead to information distortion and cross-cultural misunderstandings. Finally, it suggests targeted solutions like transliteration with annotations, contextual explanations, and analogical comparisons to enhance translation quality and facilitate effective cross-cultural academic communication.

A study on the limitations of artificial intelligence translation tools in the rhetorical transmission of literary works—— Taking the English translation of Dream of the Red Chamber as an example
by Ran Xuefeng

Lifelong Education , Vol.14, No.3, 2025; 15 Views

This study examines the limitations of AI translation tools in conveying literary rhetoric through a case analysis of the English translation of *Dream of the Red Chamber*. The paper first highlights the rich rhetorical features in the novel and their significance in showcasing its literary value. It then analyzes challenges faced by AI translators when handling rhetorical devices such as puns, metaphors, and hyperbole, which often fail to accurately convey their nuanced meanings. By comparing machine-translated versions with human translations, the research reveals shortcomings in cultural context preservation and emotional expression subtlety. The study aims to draw attention to these limitations in literary translation applications, providing insights for enhancing translation quality and advancing translation technology development.

Can't teach old dogs new tricks? Nonsense. Tips for learning later in life

2018-09-12

Change, often rapid and disorienting, is today's norm. Even things our grandparents took for granted manual typewriters, telegrams, smelling salts, corsets have disappeared into antique shops and museums. We change jobs and even careers many times in one lifetime. We travel more. It seems like we adapt to new technologies almost weekly.

What hasn't changed is that human beings need to learn so they can adapt and thrive in new circumstances. Is this possible for older people? It's common knowledge that children are voracious learners but the famous cliche suggests that you can't teach an old dog new tricks. This simply isn't true.

As research conducted by my colleagues and I has shown, learning is a lifelong process. It's also life-wide: we learn in all kinds of situations besides schools and colleges “ in our families, workplaces, communities and through leisure activities. And it's life-deep: it's about emotions, morality, cultural and spiritual development, not just the intellect.

Lifelong learning requires an evolving university

2018-09-12

I am still learning, Michelangelo reportedly said at the age of 87. He continued to learn, evolve his craft and stay productive until the end of his life. As global life expectancy increases we should all continue to learn, stay productive and evolve our craft including universities.

People are living longer

The World Health Organization shows global average life expectancy for those born in 2015 at 71.4 years an increase from the cohort born in 2000, whose life expectancy at birth was 66.4. As you might imagine, life expectancy numbers range widely by country, from a high of 89.5 years in Monaco to a low of 50.2 in Chad, and everything in between. For example, Japan has an average life expectancy of 85, Iceland's is 83, France's is 81.8, the United Kingdom's is 80.7, the United State's is 79.8, Mexicos is 75.9, Saudi Arabia's is 75.3 and India's is 68.5.

These are all average life expectancies, so roughly 50% of people are expected to live longer than the average, with some expected to live much longer. This has profound implications for individuals, employers, societies and colleges and universities.
