Abstract(638) PDF(1628)

Abstract:
Teacher is an important foundation of rural primary schools. However, currently rural primary schools are generally unable to recruit and retain excellent teachers, which constrains the development of these schools. Under the background of the poverty alleviation campaign and the progression of educational modernization, this paper examines the dilemmas of being unable to attract and retain outstanding teachers in rural primary schools, as well as teachers' inadequate interdisciplinary teaching ability and low recognition. It argues that the state should support teacher training universities to strengthen their interdisciplinary comprehensive teaching ability by improving relevant policies, training programs and practical mechanisms of directional training of free general subject teachers for remote and poverty-stricken rural areas. The state should also cultivate the local identity consciousness of students through several phases of local training and select candidates of rural primary school teachers with a passion for the country and education, who have the motivation to stay and to contribute to the development of rural primary education.

ZHAO Dan, ZHAO Kuo

2020, (6): 18-23.

Abstract(597) PDF(53)

Abstract:
In the new era of high-quality and balanced development of compulsory education, improving the quality of small rural school education is the key to making up for the shortcomings of rural education and ensuring that children in remote rural areas receive high-quality education. Based on this theory, the study analyzes the quality dilemma of small-scale schools from the three dimensions of school supporting input, educational process and educational output, including:enrollments from poor families; insufficient community support; shortage of educational resources; uneven leadership levels of principals; low level of campus cultural construction; single method of teaching; student with poor academic performance and poor self-esteem. Recognizing the practical dilemmas, governments at all levels should increase investment in educational resources, incorporate hidden factors of education quality into the evaluation system, activate the advantages of small-scale schools, promote school-community cooperation and high-quality resource sharing, and comprehensively improve the quality of small-scale school education.

Abstract(525) PDF(133)

Abstract:
For the first time, the unified compilation of Chinese Language textbook has set up the unit of writing exercise that is writing -oriented and reading -for -writing. Teachers should take the idea of dual -line organization unit structure as the guiding principle and implement it creatively on the basis of deep understanding of the textbook. The first unit of writing exercise at primary school level starts from unit 5, volume 1, grade 3. From this case, it is not difficult to find that teachers need to comprehensively apply various theories and measures, such as task-driven reading and writing, picture book instruction. They also need to have a comprehensive and systematic understanding of the unit theme and language elements of each year of primary school, as well as the sequence of their development. Moreover, teachers need to consider the six parts of the unit of writing exercise as a coherent whole, and design the teaching scheme, so as to achieve the comprehensive goal of integrating reading and writing as a whole.

University Students' Perception of General Elective Courses: An Analysis Based on Metaphors

GAO Wei, WU Xiuxia

2020, (6): 30-39.

Abstract(421) PDF(13)

Abstract:
In order to understand university students' perception of general elective courses, the authors guide students to create three metaphors based on their experiences and feelings:what general elective courses are like, what the teachers of general elective courses are like and what the students of general elective courses are like. The authors ask students to give explanations of their metaphors, so as to put forward their own understanding of general elective courses. The analysis result shows that the metaphors created by students are cognitive, diverse and systematic. Students mainly focus on the function of the courses to acquire knowledge and expand their vision, the richness of course type and content, teachers' professional competence and the teaching process and students' personal characteristics, their needs and learning process, etc. At the same time, the result also reflects the following problems, such as inadequate supply of high-quality courses, the weakness of some teachers' professional competence and insufficient participation of students in the courses.

Abstract:
In order to explore whether empathy and network public opinions will affect the donation willingness of college students, this research randomly selected 200 college students to test their empathy ability, and selected 70 subjects with various empathy ability to conduct experiments. The participants first read the Weibo public opinion event, then read the positive or negative comments on the event, and finally asked the subjects to fill out the empathy response scale and report their willingness to donate. The results showed that:(1) Under different types of comment conditions, there was significant differences in the willingness of the participants to donate. The willingness to donate under positive conditions was significantly higher than that under negative conditions; (2) In high empathy ability condition, the sympathy dimension in the empathy response plays a partial intermediary role between network public opinion and the willingness to donate. The higher the level of empathy, the stronger the sympathy response to network comments, the stronger the donation will.

Abstract(724) PDF(266)

Abstract:
To understand the status of mental health of college students during the epidemic, we randomly selected 427 college undergraduates in Guangdong province, and used Self Rated Health Measurement Scale 1. 0 (SRHMS 1. 0), Self -rating Depression Scale (SDS), Self -rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), Coping Styles Questionnaire to measure their mental health, depression, anxiety, and coping styles. The results showed that the overall health, physical health, mental health and social health of college students were lower than the norm of Guangdong province, and the scores of anxiety and depression were significantly higher than the national norm during epidemic. Gender, major, grade, cognition and attitude towards the epidemic situation, coping style and other factors have obvious influence on mental health. It can be seen that the current mental health education should pay attention to the impact of major public safety incidents on the mental health of college students, and strengthen the intervention measures to improve the mental health of college students.

MAO Jinde, ZHU Guoli

2020, (6): 78-86.

Abstract(355) PDF(18)

Abstract:
Since the "Regulation of Academic Committee in Higher Education" has been promulgated, higher education institutions have formulated or revised the regulation of academic committee and reformed the organizational system of academic committee. Based on a case study of a research-oriented university, this study identifies that with the continuous institutional improvement of academic committee, the committee's transactional decision -making power has been expanded, while its institutional decision-making power has weakened. The institutional supply, the streamlining of administration and delegating power, and the resource allocation configuration are the main factors that affect the power distribution of academic committee.
