Basic Principles for Constructing a New Ecosystem for Fostering Virtue and Nurturing Talent. In the digital-intelligence era, the development of the education sector exhibits distinct characteristics of the times, while the digital-intelligence era itself follows specific laws of technological evolution and social development. Constructing a new ecosystem for fostering virtue and nurturing talent must adhere to a series of basic principles. First, it is necessary to uphold correct value orientation. The development of intelligent technology, like a "double-edged sword," has opened up unprecedented opportunities for the education sector, while also bringing challenges. On the one hand, digital-intelligence technologies such as artificial intelligence and big data provide powerful tools for education, capable of enhancing teaching efficiency, realizing personalized learning, and promoting educational equity. On the other hand, the abuse of technology may lead to privacy breaches, changes in employment structure, and even trigger social ethical issues. Therefore, constructing a new ecosystem for fostering virtue and nurturing talent must always adhere to correct value orientation, ensuring that technological development serves the original aspiration and founding mission of education. Second, it is necessary to promote the comprehensive development of students. Driven by digital-intelligence technologies, the education sector is nurturing an open and inclusive new ecosystem for nurturing talent. The educational subject is transforming from a "teacher-student" binary teaching structure to a "teacher-machine-student" ternary interactive model, and teaching methods are shifting from "standardized teaching" to "personalized learning." Students are no longer passive "containers" for receiving knowledge, but active subjects in constructing knowledge. Only by placing students at the center of the educational ecosystem can it be ensured that innovations in educational content, teaching methods, and evaluation systems truly meet the growth needs of students, stimulate their potential, and cultivate their key abilities to adapt to future society. Third, it is necessary to highlight the strategic attributes of education. Entering the digital-intelligence era, education is not only the transmission of knowledge and the cultivation of skills, but also a key driving force for national competitiveness and social development. By optimizing the educational structure and training models, strengthening the construction of basic disciplines, emerging disciplines, and interdisciplinary disciplines, and cultivating high-quality talents that meet the needs of future society, it supports the country's technological innovation and social progress. Therefore, constructing a new ecosystem for fostering virtue and nurturing talent in the digital-intelligence era must highlight the strategic attributes of education, to ensure that education can adapt to and lead the development trends of the digital-intelligence era, providing a solid foundation for the long-term development of the country and the comprehensive progress of society.

Furthermore, the integration of digital-intelligence educational resources not only enriches teaching content but also provides students with more diverse learning choices and learning platforms, promoting the comprehensive development of students. Third, innovate digital-intelligence education methods to leverage the regulatory function of the ecosystem. Innovation in educational methods is key to regulating the various functions of the ecosystem. By integrating intelligent technologies such as artificial intelligence and big data, personalized teaching strategies can be realized, that is, providing customized teaching support based on students' learning progress, interests, and abilities. For example, using learning analytics technology, teachers can track students' understanding levels and learning habits, thereby adjusting teaching content and pace. For another example, adaptive learning systems can automatically adjust teaching difficulty and paths based on students' interactions and performance, ensuring that each student can develop and improve at a level suitable for them. Fourth, optimize digital-intelligence education evaluation to improve the feedback mechanism of the ecosystem. The optimization of the education evaluation system is an important link in improving the feedback mechanism of the educational ecosystem. The design of the evaluation system needs to transcend traditional knowledge and skill assessments, expanding to a comprehensive evaluation of students' innovation ability, cooperative spirit, and moral literacy. By implementing diversified evaluation methods, such as peer evaluation, self-evaluation, and project-based assessment, a more comprehensive capture of students' learning progress and ability development can be achieved. Process-oriented evaluation emphasizes collecting data during the learning process, providing real-time feedback to teachers so that they can adjust teaching strategies in a timely manner. This evaluation system can not only provide a scientific basis for educational decision-making but also promote the continuous improvement and optimization of educational practice.
