  • Understanding China's Future
    PALACKÝ UNIVERSITY OLOMOUC PHILOSOPHICAL FACULTY Department of Politics and European Studies UNDERSTANDING CHINA’S FUTURE: A CRITICAL EXPLORATION OF FUTURE- ORIENTATED APPROACHES TO ANALYSING SOCIO-POLITICAL PHENOMENA Doctoral Thesis Jeremy Garlick, M.A. Supervisor: Gaudenz Assenza, D.Phil. (Oxon), M.P.A. (Harvard) Olomouc, 2014 Declaration: I hereby declare that this thesis is entirely my own work and I have faithfully and accurately cited all sources used to the utmost of my ability. ………………………………………………. Jeremy Garlick, M.A. 2 Abstract This thesis has two main aims. The first of these is to study available methodologies for researching the future in the social sciences, and particularly in political science and international relations (IR). To be more specific, it attempts to determine whether it is possible to establish, given the present state of scientific knowledge, a relatively rigorous method for examining the futures of socio-political phenomena. The second aim is to set out to use the methodological approach(es) established in the first part of the study to examine the future of China, both as an applied example of the use of the methodology as well as an end in itself within IR’s sub-field of China studies. Thus, the thesis fits within the areas of future studies and China studies, but with a particular focus on the implications of the research for political science and IR within the broader social sciences. The research reveals that the most suitable candidate for researching socio-political futures, at least until computer modelling and complexity theory are refined enough to examine the future with greater accuracy (if this is possible), is scenario construction, given that it deals not with prediction of definite outcomes, but with future possibilities.

    International Conference on Education, Management and Computer Science (ICEMC 2016) Research on the Actuality and Development of Graduate Education in Jilin Province Yan Bao1, a and Chunyan Wang2, b 1Scientific Research Office, Jilin Engineering Normal University, Changchun, China 2College of Business Administration, Jilin Engineering Normal University, Changchun, China [email protected], [email protected], Keywords: Jilin Province; Graduate education; Actuality; Development Abstract. The graduate education in Jilin Province started earlier and has been showing a relatively stable structure after many years of exploration and development. But there are still several problems, such as an imbalance between academic education and professional education, the imperfect quality of graduate education, the poor implementation of education program and so on. This paper introduces the general situation of graduate education in Jilin Province, analyzes the existing problems in the system of graduate education, and gives some constructive suggestions for them. Introduction As one of China’s education output provinces, Jilin Province transported a large number of talents for many industries, and these talents provided supports for the overall country’s economic development and social progress. With the popularization of higher education in China, the main subjects of social interests put forward higher requests to the graduate education. This trend has forced the government, universities and education researchers to focus on the construction and improvement of the graduate education system [1]. Though their cooperation, they hope to further coordinate the balance between the quantity and quality of graduate education, to adjust the structure and benefits of graduate education in Jilin Province. Graduate education in Jilin province education can be traced back to the founding of new China.

  • Multicultural Curricula in University for Nationalities in China—The Survey of Yanbian University
    International Journal of Business and Social Science Vol. 5, No. 10; September 2014 Multicultural Curricula in University for Nationalities in China—the Survey of Yanbian University Yicao Tan PhD in Chinese Literature Associate Professor College of Liberal Arts Yanbian University Hongpei Jin PhD in History Associate Professor Liberal Arts, Yanbian University Jilin Province China. 133002 Abstract With the outstanding development of ethnic education in China, the multicultural curricula and bilingual education are becoming more and more important. But the teachers’ qualities of multicultural education are deficient. It was indicated that the teachers in Korean primary and middle school agreed the significant part of the multicultural education qualities, but in fact, their knowledge and ability of multicultural education are really weak. Yanbian University is the university with ethnic characteristics in the northeast of China, in which 65% of students are Chinese-Korean. One of the primary goals of Yanbian University is to cultivate the pre-service teachers for the Korean primary and middle schools, so in 2010, the multicultural curricula were put forth in order to train the multicultural educational competence of the pre-service teachers. The goal of multicultural curricula is to cultivate the pre-service teachers’ ability of multicultural education. Keywords: pre-service teachers; multicultural qualities; multicultural curricula Yanbian University is a minority university for Chinese-Korean which was put up in 1949. Yanbian University is located in Yanbian Chinese-Korean Regional Area in the northeast of China, in which 65% of students are Chinese-Korean and 80% of teachers are Chinese-Korean. One of the primary goals of Yanbian University is to cultivate the pre-service teachers for the Korean primary and middle schools, hence how to cultivate the qualities of multicultural education of the pre-service teachers are becoming the urgent issue for the teacher education program.
