Examining the roles of family and school social capital on academic achievements of sixth-grade students between migrant private schools and public schools in Bao\u27an district, Shenzhen city
Background: During the rapid development in Shenzhen, it has drawn millions of workers from all over the country accompanied with their family. And Bao’an District as the biggest district in Shenzhen, it has 4.49 million of population, including 0.89 million local hukou residents. Due to the hukou system, 177,682 students enrolled in public schools while 189,287 in migrant private schools. School facilities and teacher quality varied from public schools and migrant private schools lead to widening gaps of the academic achievements between students in migrant private schools and public schools. The equity for migrant children becomes a topical issue in education. This study aims to examine the roles of family and school social capital associated with variations in children’s academic achievements. The present study also attempts to find out the effects of school social capital on migrant and local students in both migrant private schools and public schools, so as to investigate potential policies to support migrant students in both school types.
Methods: Adopting a mixed methods approach for the study, a questionnaire is designed for sixth-grade students from six sample schools in Bao’an District, Shenzhen City, consisting of three public and three migrant private schools, with a total of 1,313 valid samples. Hierarchical regression is used to investigate the roles of family and school social capital in children’s academic achievements (i.e. Chinese, English, Math, Science and the mean score of these four subjects) in both migrant private schools and public schools, as well as the impacts of school social capital on migrant students and their local peers. Then, in-depth interviews with 24 teachers are conducted to determine how school social capital can be utilized to mitigate the effects of migrant students’ low-income family backgrounds from the teachers’ perspectives.
Results: The empirical findings reveal that both family and school social capital have positive and significant effects on academic achievements for students in migrant private schools and public schools. Among the indicators of family social capital, time-spent with parents on discussing about school matters, time-spent with parents and parental academic expectations affect students’ overall achievements positive statistically significant. For school social capital, indicators of teacher-student interactions, teacher’s academic expectations, and feeling of safety at school have positive statistically significant impacts on the overall achievements. Results also show that school social capital has great impacts on migrant students than on local students, whereas different indicators indicate different impacts in different school types. Teacher participants in the interviews perceive the teacher-student relationship and the teacher-colleague relationship as the most influencing factors on students’ academic achievements comparing to relationships between teacher-teacher, teacher-parent and teacher-leader.
Conclusion: The findings of the study fill a research gap in examining the impacts of both family and school social capital for migrant and local students in migrant private schools and public schools, as well as the impact of school social capital on student status in Bao’an District, Shenzhen City. It also includes how to help migrant students from teachers’ perspectives. This study suggests that policies should be adopted to increase teacher’s expectation through teacher-student interactions, teachers’ professional capacity and parental interactions in students’ education so as to improve students’ achievements
Song Poems (sanqu) of the Yuan Dynasty : The power of poetic imagery
Using a cluster of carefully chosen images, Ma Zhiyuan’s “Autumn Thoughts” invites readers to identify themselves with a weary traveler, a “heartbroken man at the end of the earth.
Poetic Theory and Practice in the Ming and Qing Dynasties : Poetry : The pain of loss and the pleasures of everyday life
In this final episode, we will first listen to the “Song of Suffering Calamity” by the woman poet and scholar Wang Duanshu (1621-ca. 1680), narrating her flight from the invading Qing army during the Ming-Qing transition. We will conclude with two examples by women among the many poems in the Ming and Qing that record quotidian pleasures and reflections on daily life. Whether pain and loss or pleasure and joy, men and women in late imperial China inscribed their emotions and thoughts in poetry
「社交媒體、視訊會議平台和樂齡產品在長者院舍的應用情況」研究簡報
香港的老年人口增長迅速,從1988年至2018年間,老年人口由46萬增加到127萬(政府經濟顧問辦公室, 2019)。隨著人口老化,長期護理服務需求也相對增加。資助安老院舍的平均等待時間長達20個月(香港政府, 2021)。在2017至2018年間,有40,000人在輪候資助安老院舍,其中6,600人在等候期間去世(香港政府, 2018)。安老服務業一直面臨人力短缺的問題,2017年的相關職位空缺率為15-20%(香港政府, 2017)。2013年的研究統計發現超過一半的安老服務前線員工超過50歲(勞工及福利局, 2019)。隨著退休潮的來臨,人力短缺的問題會進一步加劇。因此,科技與安老服務的結合被視爲減輕人手壓力的方向。結合科技和院舍服務不僅可以減輕工作量,還能提高服務質量和效率。社交媒體和視訊會議平台可以減少在訊息傳遞上的時間和人力成本。樂齡科技產品,諸如可穿戴設備和遠程監控傳感器,可以讓護理人員更快捷和系統化地掌握服務對象的狀態,從而減少親自監測的次數(Chen, 2020)。因此,自2017年起,香港政府與各部門積極推廣樂齡科技,並於2018年設立樂齡及康復創科應用基金,幫助合資格的安老及康復服務單位購置、租借和試用科技產品。香港政府於2022年更將此計劃擴展至其他非資助的私營或自負盈虧的安老院舍及殘疾人士院舍。在過去三年的新冠疫情影響下,大部分安老院舍因為防疫工作量的增加而面臨更嚴重的人手短缺,不少院舍開始將科技融入服務,以應對疫情衍生的需求和改善現有服務質素。然而,香港院舍對於如何應用社交媒體、會議平台和樂齡科技產品的研究甚少。在此背景下,本研究旨在瞭解院舍應用相關科技的情況,並提供應對有關障礙的政策建議
《牡丹亭》愛情觀和至情觀再探
「十部傳奇九相思」,愛情作為中國文學永不過時的題材,從《詩經》首篇《周南.關雎》起,文學家便用文字抒寫了諸多悲歡離合。儘管中國文學史上有著很多與愛情相關的作品,但它們風格各異,內容有別,造就了文學地圖的不同風貌。當中湯顯祖的《牡丹亭》以其豐富的文化內涵和情感的複雜性脫穎而出,是為愛情戲劇的經典之作。
《牡丹亭》是湯顯祖(1550-1616)於晚明時創作的傳奇戲曲,題詞云:「情不知所起,一往而深,生者可以死,死者可以生。生而不可與死,死而不可復生者,皆非情之至也。」劇中杜麗娘可為情而死,又為情而生,論者常謂其愛情表現反映了湯顯祖的至情思想。湯顯祖以「情」為世間之最,可超生死,並有意通過戲作激勵時人依照本心追求「至情」。此理念與明代奉行「存天理,滅人慾」的禁慾思想背道而馳,故雖然《牡丹亭》在民間流傳甚廣,但劇目乃至湯顯祖本人在當時文壇飽受非議,論者多以「置法字無論」評之,只有少數如茅暎(活動時期約1630)等仍維護其文學價值。
現今《牡丹亭》的文學地位已無容置疑,其文學手法、人物形象、主題思想亦已備受肯定。本文欲從《牡丹亭》中角色對愛情的認知和作者的愛情觀出發,再探《牡丹亭》愛情觀和至情觀
異化母系社會下的女性悲劇——論莫言《豐乳肥臀》之生殖崇拜
生殖崇拜是《豐乳肥臀》的核心文化觀念。作者莫言以充滿生命力的身體描寫和複雜的多重人物塑造,表達了對母親的歌頌和女性身體的尊崇。最原始的生殖崇拜對象為女性,直接建構了原始母系社會。因此,書中背景雖設於新中國父系社會時期,但貫穿全文的女性生殖崇拜流露了母系社會的蹤影,並與父權社會造成衝突,導致不同的女性困境。
本文將以人物分析角度,探討小說中的女性生殖崇拜和母系社會現象,並論述當父系社會取而代之,女性悲劇是如何發生的。文章分為四部分:首先,導言部分將簡略介紹作者莫言,並闡述研究背景和研究概況;其次,筆者將簡述生殖崇拜的起源和形式和其與母系社會的關聯性;然後,分別分析四個代表性人物:上官魯氏、上官想弟、上官領弟和上官金童,分析母系和父系社會碰撞之下的女性悲劇;最後總結全文作結
The changing power dynamics in the HoA between the US and China : the cases of Djibouti and Ethiopia
This paper will try to look at the changing power dynamics in the Horn of Africa between the US and China. The paper uses the case study of Djibouti and Ethiopia to analysis how there is an on-going alteration in the distribution of power between the US and China which is having an implication on the overall power dynamics in the region. Although the US still holds a power advantage vis-à-vis China in the HoA region the recent rise of China is challenging this discourse. With the launch of the BRI in 2013 China has slowly become the largest economic partner of both the nations both in terms of investment and trade. It is also expanding its political sphere by backing the current governments and helping in the establishment of various political infrastructure projects. With the establishment of its first offshore military base in Djibouti, China is also increasing its military footprint in the region. It has also become the major military hardware supplier to these nations which in a way is dynamically increasing China’s value in the region. This is directly challenging the US position and has led the US to come up with various countermeasures. This is therefore challenging the balance of power in the HoA. This we argue will enhance the power competition in the HoA region between both the nations in the coming times
