“…en, the dynamic evolution of the complex network structure is analyzed through experimental results. Agent out-degree and in-degree were analyzed and the agent can approximate a straight line logarithmic coordinates, which is consistent with the phenomenon of scale-free complex networks [25]. At the same time, it is also found that there are a certain number of agents with relatively large degrees, which is consistent with the "following effect" and "herding effect" in empirical research.…”

This paper proposes a new financial market model based on the analysis of the minority game model. The agent in this model forms a network through information sharing, and the agent uses the minority game model to realize the evolution of the system. To better describe the financial market, we also adopt a prior connection strategy for the model. The network formed by the agent has the characteristics of a scale-free network, and as the initial network connection probability increases, the growth rate of the corresponding agent’s average connection degree increases and then decreases after reaching the peak.

“…However, the influence of adaptive teaching on students' learning was not fully investigated. One study conducted by Yoon et al ( 2019 ) made the tentative conclusion that there was a positive correlation between TAE and students' understanding and learning of systems.…”

“…CDST attempts to grasp the nature of the description and explanation of developmental changes. Thus, more recent research attention has been paid to L2 teachers' expertise (Tsui, 2003 ; Farrell, 2013 ; Li and Zou, 2017 ), particularly researching L2 writing teachers' expertise from a CDST perspective (e.g., Yoon et al, 2019 ; Lee and Yuan, 2021 ). Studies from the CDST perspective are not the same as the traditional pursuit of an exhaustive taxonomy of factors that might account for any teaching behavior of any given phenomenon.…”

Teachers' adaptive expertise (TAE) has received increasing attention in the current English as foreign language (EFL) teaching field, however, it has seldom been examined with adaptive practices by teachers in on-going classes among existing literature. Adopting a mixed-method design with data triangulation, this study was conducted to explore the complexity of teachers' adaptive expertise (TAE) and adaptive teaching practices that an EAP writing teacher demonstrated in academic writing courses, from a Complex Dynamic Systems Theory (CDST) perspective. Semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and questionnaires were arranged to collect qualitative and quantitative data from an EAP writing teacher and 43 EFL learners in a Chinese university. Thematic analysis and SPSS were mainly used in the current work for data analysis. Our findings confirmed (1) the complexity of TAE and ATP with specific features of non-linearity, interconnectedness, and self-organization, which are classic CDST characteristics; (2) the TAE evolved with meta-cognitive, cognitive, affective and social components that are intertwined and contributed to the teacher's adaptive teaching practices (ATP) in her academic writing course; (3) being facilitated by TAE, the teacher's adaptive teaching practices significantly enhanced EFL learners, learning motivation of academic writing and their learning efficiency. Findings of the current work pave the way for future studies in researching TAE and ATP with a thorough consideration of language teachers, students and contexts from the CDST perspective. Moreover, pedagogical contributions are highlighted through the detailed examinations of the EAP writing teacher's ATP, including the class design, teaching plans, and methods, which would be fruitful for the development of tertiary EAP writing research.

“…In the course of social progress, students' values and life outlook are greatly affected by the social environment, as a consequence of the one child policy that had been carried out for decades in China, the numbers of only child and special group students are growing, brining many new challenges for the student management works in colleges and universities [9][10][11][12][13]. Building a harmonious TSR is a necessary work for college student management, because different TSRs can result in different effects in student management and cultivation [14][15][16][17][18][19]. The student management works should center on college students and take student development as the goal, in this way, when students encounter problems, they could get instructions from counselors and other administrators, and the counselors and administrators would receive respect and affection from students.…”

Building a harmonious Teacher-Student Relationship (TSR) is a necessary work for college student management, because different TSRs can result in different effects in student management and cultivation. However, in existing studies, the definitions of harmonious TSR given by different scholars are dimensionless, the understandings of the nature of TSR is not thorough enough, and the analysis of the influencing factors of TSR often lacks the support of theoretical evidences. To overcome these shortcomings, this paper aims to study the construction and adjustment methods for the TSR in college student management based on big data analysis. At first, the paper investigated the daily behavioral features of college students on online management platforms; then, with the help big data analysis and data processing techniques, this paper calculated the fitness degree of harmonious TSR between college students and the counselors and other administrators who engaged in student management works and have interacted with them. After that, based on the calculation results of the said fitness degree, this paper built a basic interactive network for college student management works, and gave the method for dividing student management groups. At last, experimental results verified the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
