The Relationship between Achievement Goal Orientation and Academic Achievement in Senior Secondary School Students: The Mediating Effect of Self-Regulated Learning
Get PDFAcademic achievement is not only an indicator of students’ learning outcomes but also a predictor of their future academic well-being, social adaptation, and career development. The achievement goal, as a basic component of the achievement motivation of the individual, has the potential to pose significant impacts on student academic performance. According to the achievement goal orientation theory, student achievement goals include the performance approach goal, performance avoidance goal mastery approach goal, and mastery avoidance goal. This article is a close examination of the relation between the achievement goal orientation and academic achievement in Chinese senior secondary school students as well as the mediating effect of self-regulated learning on this relationship. The research is based on a longitudinal survey of academic results of 1,389 10th and 11th graders within six months

The Implementation of Project-Based Learning in Chinese Basic Education: Challenges and Recommendations
Get PDFProject-based learning is a form of student-centered and inquiry-based learning. It differs from traditional instructional approaches by emphasizing students’ acquisition of transferable knowledge through active exploration of real-world problems and challenges. For China’s basic education community, project-based learning is still a relatively novel notion, and its popularization is subject to a variety of challenges. This study aims to pinpoint the barriers to the successful implementation of this pedagogical method in Chinese basic education. Recommendations on how to enhance its application are also proposed
Professional Educational Researchers in China’s Five-Level Education and Teaching Research System: Their Promotive Roles in Chinese Basic Education Development
Get PDFProfessional Educational Researchers (PER) are a crucial component of China’s Five-Level Education and Teaching Research System (ETRS), which has been of fundamental importance to Chinese basic education development. PERs play a significant role in directing teachers’ professional development, advancing basic education curriculum reform, and supporting educational decision-making. This article explains the concept of the PER in the context of the ETRS, describes the professional criteria for being a PER, and expounds on their significance for basic education advancement
Inclusive Education in China: Complications and Causes
Get PDFInclusive education is aimed at giving children with disabilities equality of opportunity in education. The Chinese government has released a host of regulations and action plans concerning inclusive education, defining its direction and setting forth the principle of respect for differences in its implementation. Nevertheless, there remain many challenges in inclusive education development. Among them is the low level of popularization of inclusive education in compulsory education. This article delineates the complications of the implementation of inclusive education in China and analyzes their causes with the intent of contributing to its high-quality development in this country
Protocol-Guided Learning as a Facilitator of the Integration of Project-Based Learning into Chinese Compulsory Education
Get PDF Currently, there are growing conversations about how to successfully integrate project-based learning into regular curricular instruction at the compulsory education level in China. Protocol-guided learning, which originated in Chinese basic education, has proven to be one of the most productive teaching methods in recent decades. It shares comparable educational philosophies with project-based learning and has the potential to compensate for the inadequacy of the latter’s application in Chinese compulsory education by providing effective implementation paths for it. The purpose of this article is to reveal the significance of the protocol-guided learning method for the successful implementation of project-based learning in China by pinpointing the issues the project-based learning approach faces, delineating the characteristics of protocol-guided learning, and expounding on its potential roles in supporting the application of project-based learning in Chinese compulsory education schools
The Effects of Criticism on the Behavioral Improvement Intention of Junior and Senior Secondary School Students: The Role of the Teacher-Student Relationship
Get PDFThe cultivation of good behavioral habits in students is among the chief goals of school education. The teacher’ praise and criticism play important roles in this process. As opposed to praise, criticism is a negation of student misconduct, which is usually deemed negative feedback by the students criticized, but in the teacher’ eyes, is meant to make them aware of and correct their misbehavior. Currently, there remain divides among researchers on the effects of criticism in the education process. Recruiting 228 8th- and 11th-graders from a middle school and a high school in X City, this study seeks to explore the effects of different types of criticism (outcome, process, and person criticism) on the relationship between the secondary teacher and their students as well as on the latter’s behavioral improvement intention. Also examined is the role of the teacher-student relationship in the relation between the type of criticism and student behavioral improvement intention
Pre-Service Science Teachers’ Conceptual Integration Understandings in Explaining the Subject of Metabolism with the Concepts of Physics and Chemistry
Get PDFThis study focuses on exploring pre-service science teachers’ conceptual integration understandings in explaining the subject of metabolism with the concepts of physics and chemistry. Action research was employed in this study. Nine pre-service science teachers taking the General Biology II course participated. Participants were taught metabolism considering conceptual integration. Data were collected via paper-and-pencil questionnaire administered before and after the intervention. The results showed that the pre-service science teachers could not understand physics and chemistry concepts at a sufficient level while explaining metabolism. Although the activities and practices were executed for conceptual integration in the action plan, only three participants achieved complete conceptual understanding for better conceptual integration at the end of the course in the first question. Thus, future studies could design interventions to be effective in conceptual integration. Further research could also design experimental investigations to examine how conceptual integration is necessary for establishing the relationship between science and other fields
