Abstract: In this study, the empirical quantitative questionnaire method was adopted to study the use of Chinese learning strategies of 76 students from Kunming International School, Yunnan, China. This survey adopts the Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL) designed by Oxford (1990), which is a 5-point Likert Scale from "1 totally disagree" to " 5 totally agree", and the frequency of use of learning strategies was determined based on the 7 factors’ scores. SPSS descriptive analysis shows that the use frequency of overall strategies is ranked from high to low: compensation strategies, social strategies, metacognitive strategies, cognitive strategies, memory strategies and emotion sense of strategies. Correlation analysis suggests that there is a significant and positive correlation between age and Chinese learning strategies. Suggestions are offered for teachers to cultivate and form students’ learning strategies, i.e., adjusting and controlling of the learning process, giving full play to students’ cognitive ability, imparting effective methods of memory, regulating learning emotions, attaching importance to the stage of learning and development, and paying attention to the impact of individual differences. To sum up, teachers should emphasize the development stage of Chinese learning and the full play of the students’ cognitive ability. On this basis, students can be helped to cultivate and improve their ability to use Chinese learning strategies.

Abstract: One of the priority issues not only in different countries but also in the Republic of Armenia is the insertion of programs into the secondary education system aimed at raising the quality and reputation of education in rural communities, and the opportunity to get lifelong learning. The goal of the research is to develop an “Open Agrarian School” model that will contribute to sustainable agrarian, socio-cultural development of rural communities on the basis of international and local experience analysis. In order to achieve the mentioned goal, it is necessary to identify open agrarian school components, resources, carry out the needed actions and provide certain results. During the survey, the following methods were used: student-centered approaches, new educational technologies, professional orientation, and pre-vocational education methods, pilot-tested species and innovative technology experiments relevant to specific climate conditions. The model will ensure the preservation of national cultural traditions and values, to give knowledge and skills on the “green economy” to generations, providing lifelong learning. As a result, communities will be formed in rural areas with leadership qualities and skills to design and implement projects. Community members guided by national customs will carry care and responsibility for the development of their homeland, and the different layers of the community will demonstrate their commitment to lifelong learning. The research is consistent with the objectives set out in the 17 Sustainable Development Goals included in the UN Sustainable Development Agenda 2030.

Abstract: Aims: In future, the development of provincial university characterized by engineering needs to break away from the original traditional model, to implement the scientific development concept, to update the concept in time, and to make itself adapt to socialized production and local economic development. Methods and Results: They need to establish a correct view of quality and scientific development. From the strategic position, quality and development concept, the development strategy of the provincial university characterized by engineering was explored. Conclusion: The development of provincial university characterized by engineering must have a correct and scientific strategy, which is crucial for the development direction.
