On the morning of April 23, 2023, Zeng Wei, Associate Editor-in-Chief of Research on Higher Education, visited the Sanjiang Education Lecture Hall of Jiangsu University and delivered an academic lecture entitled “Answering the Questions of the Times by Academic Methods” to the students and teachers of the School. The session was hosted by Prof. Jiajia Wang, Dean of School of Teacher Education.

Starting from the contradiction between “science and technology” and “talents and education,” Editor-in-Chief
Zeng proposes that academic research should answer the questions of the current era and pay attention to the requirements of the current era. He also points out the problems that arise when researchers deal with the relationship between academics and the era in educational research. Editor-in-chief Zeng also describes that academic education research should focus
on academic norms, academic attitude, basic links, writing standards, and other aspects, among which appropriate selection of topics, appropriate theories, correct methodology, standardized expression, and innovative ideas are the key elements
that cannot be ignored.

Our faculty benefited greatly from Prof. Zeng’s wonderful ideas. After the session, He communicated in-depth with
students on the issues of attributes of higher education, reform of higher education, and development of education in the
age of technology.” He patiently responded and gave feedback to the questions raised by the faculty. Finally, Prof. Jiajia
Wang summarized the lecture of Prof. Zeng Wei and expressed his thanks for this wonderful session.
