Trust is the essential element to bring harmonious human relationships. The thesis highlights the importance of trust between the principal and the teachers and aims to show that trust can be enhanced by the principal when choosing the right role in the building up of the school climate. Based on the Chinese context, one famous high school is chosen as the case study in this thesis. Both quantitative and qualitative methodologies are selected to get data for the study. The OCDQ-RS of Hoy (1987) is used as the research instrument of the survey while the ethnographic method is used to give qualitative data of the case school. The result shows that the school climate is open but the trust between the principal and the teachers is low. The principal supports the teachers less than he directs them. The analysis of the study is based on the perspective of the Chinese context. In order to improve the situation, suggestion for the principal in the thesis is that the principal needs to empower his teachers, become a role model, pay attention to the teachers’ personal welfare and keep transparency. The suggestions can be used in other schools, but the author of this thesis recommends later studies to carry out bigger survey or involve more interviews in the data for the generalization of the study.

Luottamus on oleellinen tekijä harmonisten ihmissuhteiden toteutumisessa. Tutkielma korostaa luottamuksen tärkeyttä rehtorin ja opettajien välillä ja pyrkii osoittamaan että rehtori voi edistää luottamusta valitsemalla oikean roolin koulun ilmaston rakentamisessa. Tutkielman konteksti on Kiinassa ja se on tapaustutkimus yhdestä kuuluisasta kiinalaisesta koulusta. Tutkimuksessa on käytetty sekä määrällistä että laadullista tutkimusmenetelmää tutkimusmateriaalin hankinnassa. Kyselytutkimuksessa käytettiin Hoyn (1987) kehittämää OCDQ-RS – kyselyä, ja laadullinen materiaali hankittiin etnografisella menetelmällä. Tulos osoittaa, että koulun ilmasto on avoin, mutta luottamus rehtorin ja opettajien välillä on vähäinen. Rehtori pikemminkin johtaa opettajia kuin tukee heitä. Tutkimuksen analyysi perustuu kiinalaisen kontekstin näkökulmaan. Tutkimus esittää tilanteen parantamiseksi, että rehtorin tulee valtauttaa opettajansa, tulla roolimalliksi, kiinnittää huomiota opettajien henkilökohtaiseen hyvinvointiin ja ylläpitää läpinäkyvyyttä. Ehdotuksia voidaan soveltaa muissakin kouluissa, mutta tutkielman tekijä suosittelee laajempaa kyselytutkimusta tai lisähaastatteluja tuloksen yleistämiseksi.

    Concurrent Session 1 并行会议一 Research on West-East Reciprocal Learning in Classroom & Curriculum 课堂与课程设置中的互惠学习 Concurrent 1A: Students’ Mathematics Learning 分组会议 1A: 数学学习 Juan Yu Hubei University of Education, China A Research on Learning Difficulties and Coping Strategies in Mathematics for Taiwan and Mainland Middle School Students This is a reciprocal learning research from Taiwan to solve Mathematics learning difficulties for mainland students in China. Based on the learning difficulties and the corresponding coping strategies in mathematics for middle-school students in Taiwan and analyzed the variations with different demographic variables. The research was conducted through questionnaire survey totally 1,020 middle school students participated in the survey, and 999 valid questionnaires were collected. The major findings of research are as follows: 1. The level of learning difficulties of mathematics for students of middle schools was close to mediocre level. The students’ scores on “personal factors” respond the highest, but students’ scores on “school factors” respond the lowest. 2. There were significant differences in learning difficulties of mathematics of middle school students with different demographic variables. 3. When students encounter learning difficulties in mathematics, they adopt “active coping” as coping strategy, followed by “seeking supports” and “emotional coping”; however, “avoidance” is adopted less than others. 4. There were significant differences in the coping strategies used by the students who have learning difficulties in math with different demographic variables. 5. Learning difficulties and coping strategies have significant correlation. The research findings show the overall learning difficulties of middle school students is medium (mean= 2.42). Among these factors, the mean score of personal factors shows the highest (mean= 2.67), while the mean score of school factors show the lowest (mean= 2.24).

  • 2016 Physicsbowl Results
    2016 PhysicsBowl Results Dear Physics Teachers, Thank you for having your students participate in this year’s AAPT PHYSICSBOWL contest. This year there were more than 6400 students participating from almost 250 schools from the United States, Canada, Kuwait, Mexico, South Africa, the Republic of Korea, and the United Kingdom, as well as almost 300 schools participating from China! With the addition of the large number of Chinese schools, the contest is almost in two parts with Regions 01 – 14 competing for prizes from AAPT while ASDAN China is coordinating the contest in China. As a result, for simplicity of trying to read the long lists, there are three files: the list of winners in Regions 01 – 14, the list of winners in Regions 15 – 19, and a list of the top students/teams from all regions in both divisions! Instructors from regions 01 – 14 can obtain the scores of their students from the AAPT website and that link will be provided to you in an email from the national office. Please realize that we were able to retrieve some scores that were disqualified for improperly recording the required information, but this was done after-the-fact. If the information was not encoded correctly, the student was immediately disqualified from winning prizes even though we may be able to link that student to your code now. Some students provided no codes, the wrong regions, no name, just a last name, etc. There are a lot of records and we cannot go back and fill in missing information. While it is unfortunate to disqualify anyone, these are the rules of the contest.

In Pursuit of the Great Peace: Han Dynasty Classicism and the Making of Early Medieval Literati Culture Abstract This dissertation is focused on communities of people in the Han dynasty (205 B.C.-A.D. 220) who possessed the knowledge of a corpus of texts: the Five Classics. Previously scholars have understood the popularity of this corpus in the Han society as a result of stiff ideology and imperial propaganda. However, this approach fails to explain why the imperial government considered them effective to convey propaganda in the first place. It does not capture the diverse range of ideas in classicism. This dissertation concentrates on Han classicists and treats them as scholars who constantly competed for attention in intellectual communities and solved problems with innovative solutions that were plausible to their contemporaries. This approach explains the nature of the apocryphal texts, which scholars have previously referred to as shallow and pseudo-scientific.

Degree awarded June 2012 ii © 2012 Jing Pei Goh iii THESIS ABSTRACT Jing Pei Goh Master of Arts Interdisciplinary Studies Program: Asian Studies June 2012 Title: “Chineseness” in Malaysian Chinese Education Discourse: The Case of Chung Ling High School The Chinese education issues in Malaysia appear frequently in political discourse, often featuring contentious discussions of language learning and national education policies. Applying an historical approach to contextualize a political discourse, this thesis examines the politics and transformation of Malaysian Chinese education, in microcosm, at the level of a renowned Chinese school, Chung Ling High School in Penang. It explores and maps the question of “Chineseness” through the examination of the history and development of Chung Ling since its establishment in 1917. This thesis also aims to elucidate the complex negotiation between multiple stakeholders of the Chinese community which took place at different historical junctures in a postcolonial and multi- ethnic nation.

  • A New Wave—Teenage Chinese Studying in the U.S in the 2010S ______
    A NEW WAVE—TEENAGE CHINESE STUDYING IN THE U.S IN THE 2010S ____________________________________ A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of California State University, Fullerton ____________________________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in History ____________________________________ By Angela Sugiyama Thesis Committee Approval: Laichen Sun, Department of History, Chair Kristine Dennehy, Department of History Lisa Tran, Department of History Fall, 2016 ABSTRACT Research of Chinese students in the United States has focused on the adult students who studied in American colleges and universities. Little is known about the younger ones, who are between 13 and 17 and whose stories are equally, if not more, important historically. My research aims to investigate the motivations, the goals, and the life experiences of Chinese teenagers who dare to cross the biggest ocean on Earth—the Pacific. Their physical presence since the 2010s apparently becomes a new wave from the East to the West. Through analysis of students’ surveys that were conducted both in China and in the United States in 2013 and 2014, of interviews with school directors, parents and minors, I seek to understand the push-and-pull factors behind this new wave, the motivations for these teens’ willingly and non-willingly Western cultivation, and their life experiences embedded in the transcontinental sojourn. I also aim to examine the impacts they make in American society, and the effects of the boundary crossing on the host nation. Through my examination of the teenagers’ motivations and the economic and political factors that make them move, I argue that Chinese teens’ sea-crossing voyage continues the one century and a half Chinese western-learning legacy since the late 19th century, and yet, their motivations and goals in the transformation are for self-gain, not for China.

Todd, Iris Chyi Abstract: This article mainly talks about how Chinese students are seeking different ways to get into American universities. Because of the large number of applicants, the competition is intense. Some students are trying something different to get their documents look great, such as changing transcripts, fake recommendation letters and non-existing experiences in the resumes. In addition, there are actual consulting and servicing agencies in China helping students apply to American colleges with partially fake material. In the U.S., these type of modifications are called cheating, but with a bigger picture that considering the cultural and societal differences between China and the U.S., we are able to find several reasons that why this phenomenon is happening and expanding; meanwhile, what possible steps can the American colleges do to solve or reduce the cheating trend in China. iv Table of Contents Text····························································· 1-21 Reference···························································22 v During a five-minute break between GRE classes at the Chengdu New Oriental School in Chengdu, China, study abroad hopeful Wenrui Shuai glanced at an appealing advertisement.
