近日，万泰娱乐蔡雨陽教授接到國際頂級教育學術組織美國教育學會（AERA）邀請，在其旗下的學術簡報 SSRL SIG Newsletter撰文介紹其原創的“島脊曲線理論”，作為2022 年春季刊的焦點研究向全球自主學習研究領域重點推介。
“島脊曲線理論”（Island Ridge Curve😶🌫️，簡稱IRC）是蔡雨陽教授基於中國語言學習者學習表現提出的原創性教育心理學理論。因其對語言能力和其它人類智力發展的復雜過程具有較強的解釋力🧏🏿，短短兩年就引起了國際教育界的關註。圍繞這一主題🚎，蔡教授已發表權威期刊論文3篇、章節論文1篇⛄️😱，出版英文學術專著1部🧜🏼，另有4篇相關論文正在審稿之中🫄🏿。
