Using a questionnaire survey method, 284 students from grades three to six in five primary schools in Si Ping city,Ji Lin province,China were selected through stratified random sampling. Parenting styles were examined across four dimensions (emotional warmth, overprotection, rejection, and democratic guidance) based on the revised EMBU scale, while students' mental health was assessed through four dimensions (learning attitude, interpersonal relationships, emotional state, and self-perception). Results showed that: (1) Parents demonstrated high levels of emotional warmth (M=3.506) and democratic guidance (M=3.624), but exhibited overprotective tendencies (M=3.659); (2) Students showed balanced development across mental health dimensions, with self-perception scoring highest (M=3.610); (3) Multiple regression analysis revealed that emotional warmth (β=0.424, p&lt;0.001) and democratic guidance (β=0.295, p&lt;0.001) had significant positive effects on students' mental health, while overprotection (β=-0.188, p&lt;0.001) and rejection (β=-0.106, p&lt;0.05) showed negative impacts. The findings provide empirical evidence for improving parent-child relationships and promoting primary school students' mental health development.</p> Li Wang Lily Muliana Mustafa Copyright (c) 2025 Wang L., Mustafa, L.

Despite its significance, primary school music education in China often lacks effective pedagogical frameworks that integrate cultural elements. This study aims to develop and evaluate the usability of an activity model using Chinese children’s songs to enhance cultural appreciation. Guided by a modified Design and Development Research (DDR) approach, the research was conducted in three phases. Phase one involved a needs analysis through surveys with 150 primary music educators and interviews with three cultural experts to assess the necessity and content requirements for the model. In phase two, the model was designed and refined using the Nominal Group Technique (NGT) and Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) with nine experts. Phase three employed the Fuzzy Delphi Method (FDM) to evaluate the model’s usability among 50 experienced music teachers. Results showed high levels of expert consensus on the model’s usability, including its ease of use, efficiency, and relevance to educational settings. The final model offers a structured, culturally grounded tool that can enhance curriculum design and teaching practices in music education. This study contributes to the integration of traditional cultural resources into contemporary education and offers a replicable framework for similar cultural-pedagogical innovations.</p> Hailian Zhang Azli Ariffin Copyright (c) 2025 Hailian Zhang, Azli Ariffin https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 2025-06-30 2025-06-30 4 3 11 18 10.53797/icccmjssh.v4i3.2.2025
