Online Shadow Education in Hong Kong: Perspectives from Secondary School Students and Private Tutors
Get PDFBased on the educational hierarchical reproduction theory and the MMI and EMI hypotheses, this paper discusses the impact of the tracking of general and vocational education at the secondary level on higher education opportunity equity among social classes. The study finds that increasing gross enrollment rates of both general high schools and secondary vocational schools can help improve the equity in admission opportunities of colleges and universities among social strata; expanding the share of general high school places by adjusting the structure of general and vocational tracks (that is, the general-vocational ratio) can effectively reduce the class disparities in college and university admission opportunities; neither the change in the scale nor in the structure of general and vocational tracks will contribute to alleviating class inequality in top university enrollment opportunities
Influences of Teachers, Students and School Climate on Bullying Victimization: Evidence from China
Get PDFGiven the common occurrence of school bullying incidents and high prevalence rates of victimization in China, this study aims to explore the association between multiple school-related predictors and Chinese adolescents’ overall experiences with bullying victimization. Guided by the social-ecological framework for violence prevention, this study integrated different factors involving teachers, students, and school climate into one single research to detect the bullying problem more systematically and holistically. Further, the study applied the data from the 2018 Program for International Student Assessment while utilizing binary logistic regression analyses to perceive anti-bullying variables and their relationships with bullying victimization. The study revealed that teachers’ emotional, instrumental, and informational support other than appraisal support were negatively associated with students’ experiences of being bullied and victimized. The research also indicated that students’ sense of belonging, a cooperative school environment, and classroom disciplinary climate played a buffering role in bullying victimization while competition in school settings adversely increased overall bullying exposure. The results have highlighted the integration of various predictors in influencing multiple social relations and school environments to battle against in-person bullying. The results also have implications for stopping cyberbullying to achieve inclusive school education for all in the post-COVID-19 era
The Relationship between Mobile Phone Dependence and Mental Health among Adolescents: The Mediating Role of Academic Burnout and the Moderating Role of Coping Styles
Get PDFTo investigate the relationships between adolescent mental health and mobile phone dependence (MPD), academic burnout, and coping styles as well as the underlying mechanisms, this study surveyed 1191 adolescents, using the mobile phone dependence indicator scale, adolescent academic burnout questionnaire, simplified coping style questionnaire, and SCI-90 self-report mental symptom inventory. The analysis results by structural equation modeling techniques are that: (i) MPD is a significant negative predictor of adolescent mental health; (ii) Academic burnout partially mediates the relationship between MPD and adolescent mental health; (iii) Negative coping styles moderate the second half of the mediating path; the mediating effect was more significant among adolescents with higher levels of negative coping than those with lower levels of negative coping. The findings of this study offer implications for the protection and promotion of adolescent mental health in the mobile internet era
A Meta-analysis of the Relationships between Chinese Parenting Styles and Child Academic Achievement
Get PDFThis article aimed to examine the relationships between Chinese parenting styles and child academic achievement through a meta-analytical review. After literature screening, 54 studies and 793 independent effect sizes that met the inclusion criteria were incorporated into the analysis (n = 24630). According to the results of the study, positive parenting styles like “emotional warmth and understanding” had prominent beneficial effects on child academic achievement, whilst negative ones such as “punishment and harshness”, “overinvolvement and overprotection”, “preference for the subject”, “rejection and denial”) were significantly unfavorable for child academic performance. In addition, the relation between parental overinvolvement and overprotection and child academic achievement was moderated by parental roles. Children’s ages could moderate the relationships between parenting styles (except for overinvolvement and overprotection) and child academic results. The connection between parental preference for the subject and child academic achievement was moderated by disciplines. The effects of parents’ emotional warmth and understanding as well as overinvolvement and overprotection were moderated by times
Risk Factors for Men Who Have Sex with Men
Get PDFIt is typical for men who have sex with men (MSM) to have several sexual partners, unstable partners, unprotected sex, or intersex relationships, all of which increase the risk of contracting human immunodeficiency virus. As a result of their behavior and close connection to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, MSM individuals have been subjected to a barrage of interrogations, condemnations, and discrimination. Study and analysis of the risk factors of MSMs will not only assist in correctly knowing and comprehending the community, but also aid in the provision of health education, sickness prevention, and treatment
Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA): An Innovative Approach for Integrating Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis
Get PDFEducational research has long used quantitative and qualitative analysis. Quantitative analysis is the process of quantifying things through the use of numbers, which represent quantifiable characteristics of things such as scale, speed, and degree, as well as the spatial arrangement of their constituents (Yang, 1995). Qualitative analysis is the polar opposite, i.e., evaluating things on the basis of their quality rather than their quantity. A thing's quality refers to its normative nature, which distinguishes it from other things (Li, 1997). Simply put, quantitative analysis focuses on the "what" and employs numerical expressions to depict a given reality, whereas qualitative analysis aims to comprehend the "why" and investigates how we describe something
Holistic Module Learning: A Revolution in Classroom Teaching
Get PDFSince Comenius invented the classroom teaching mode centuries ago, classroom learning has experienced a succession of dramatic modifications. China’s educational progress is influenced more by traditional classroom teaching methods. Modern teaching methods place a greater emphasis on the role of students, as well as their experiences and lives. The ultimate goal of holistic module learning is to develop students’ abilities to inquire and learn on their own, which necessitates a significant shift in teaching approaches. Teachers’ primary role is to use available resources, establish optimum learning settings, and provide pupils with a variety of exploratory possibilities
Reflections on Education Groups at Basic Education Level in China
Get PDFIn the context of China’s education reform, the education group emerges as a new form of school organization designed to equalize access to high-quality educational resources. While this increasingly popular mode of school running has achieved notable results in Beijing, Shanghai, and Hangzhou, among other cities, there are concerns about the problems it engenders, such as severe homogenization and poor group management. The purpose of this paper is to examine the causes, outcomes, and problems of education groups and to propose solutions to existing problems, as well as to provide references for future school alliance development
Can Teacher Participation in School Governance Improve Student Academic Performance?
Get PDFThis study published in Modern Education Management uses the data of 9,841 students from the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2015 in four provincial administrative regions of China as sample to analyze the impact of teacher participation in school governance on student academic performance. Since there are significant differences in student academic performance among various schools, the multi-layer regression model is adopted to address the question "whether teacher participation in school governance can improve stu-dent academic performance"
