Building preschool teachers’ capacity for teaching Chinese to ethnic minority children in Hong Kong: A qualitative study

ABSTRACT

Teaching Chinese to second language learners is a challenge for preschool teachers in Hong Kong so effective teacher professional development programmes are urgently needed to enhance their knowledge and skills. An Integrative Model Teacher Professional Development Programme which incorporates three theoretical underpinnings (i.e., culturally responsive teaching, meaningful and pleasurable learning, and effective teaching of Chinese as a second language) is designed to equip preschool teachers with knowledge, skills, and awareness in teaching Chinese to ethnic minority students. Through qualitative interviews with 15 in-service preschool teachers who joined the Programme, teachers’ perceptions and changes in three theoretical areas of teaching Chinese to ethnic minority students were explored. Particularly, teachers increased their awareness of ethnic minority cultures, developed empathy with ethnic minority children and their families, gained knowledge of implementing culturally responsive teaching and meaningful and pleasurable learning of Chinese. The role of teacher sharing in effective professional development was highlighted.  相似文献   

The role of stroke knowledge in reading and spelling in Chinese     

Lap‐yan Lo  Pui‐sze Yeung  Connie Suk‐Han Ho  David Wai‐ock Chan  Kevin Chung 《Journal of Research in Reading》2016,39(4):367-388

The present study examined the types of orthographic knowledge that are important in learning to read and spell Chinese words in a 2‐year longitudinal study following 289 Hong Kong Chinese children from Grade 1 to Grade 2. Multiple regression results showed that radical knowledge significantly predicted children's word reading and spelling performance across the years. Stroke knowledge contributed both concurrently (Grade 1) and longitudinally (Grade 2) to children's spelling performance after controlling for rapid naming, phonological awareness, morphological awareness and radical knowledge. These findings support the significance of radical knowledge in Chinese reading and spelling and the specific role of stroke order knowledge in Chinese spelling. The findings have implications for the design of an effective curriculum for teaching children to spell Chinese characters.  相似文献

Advocacy for gender minority students: recommendations for school counsellors     

Jack D. Simons  Matthew J. Beck  Nancy R. Asplund  Christian D. Chan  Rebekah Byrd 《Sex education》2018,18(4):464-478

Abstract

Research shows that teachers’ and educators’ responses to gender diversity issues in schools either improves or limits the experiences of students. The school counsellor has an important role to play in this process by working closely with other stakeholders to advocate for transgender, intersex and genderqueer (TIG) students. Following a review of recent developments in the USA, recommendations are made and resources identified to assist school counsellors in validating TIG students, and improving school systems in pursuit of their academic, social and emotional success.  相似文献   

Structural Equation Modeling With Unknown Population Distributions: Ridge Generalized Least Squares     

Ke-Hai Yuan  Wai Chan 《Structural equation modeling》2016,23(2):163-179

This article proposes 2 classes of ridge generalized least squares (GLS) procedures for structural equation modeling (SEM) with unknown population distributions. The weight matrix for the first class of ridge GLS is obtained by combining the sample fourth-order moment matrix with the identity matrix. The weight matrix for the second class is obtained by combining the sample fourth-order moment matrix with its diagonal matrix. Empirical results indicate that, with data from an unknown population distribution, parameter estimates by ridge GLS can be much more accurate than those by either GLS or normal-distribution-based maximum likelihood; and standard errors of the parameter estimates also become more accurate in predicting the empirical ones. Rescaled and adjusted statistics are proposed for overall model evaluation, and they also perform much better than the default statistic following from the GLS method. The use of the ridge GLS procedures is illustrated with a real data set.  相似文献

THE MEDIA AND ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES IN HONG KONG 1983-95     

Chan  Kara 《Int. Journal of Public Opinion Research》1999,11(2):135-151

This study tests the agenda-setting hypothesis for the environmentalissue in Hong Kong from 1983 to 1995. It was found that theagenda-setting hypothesis was supported for the initial periodof five and a half years. In the subsequent period of sevenand a half years, despite the increased media coverage of theissues, there was a significant drop in the perceived salienceof the environmental problem. This may be due to the dilutionof public attention as a result of diversity in the news agendaand reporting of local environmental problems as ‘soft’news. It was also found that the environmental issue failedto compete with other prominent issues directly affecting thepublic. The mass media played a much less important role inkeeping the environmental issue on the public agenda at thelater stage.  相似文献   

创业不问出处？家庭出身与农民创业的关系研究     

杨婵  贺小刚 《研究与发展管理》2021,33(5):1-12

农民的决策行为受到家庭因素的制约,而家庭出身将如何影响到农民的创业行为,这仍旧是一个悬而未决的重要研究问题。本文基于上海财经大学千村调查的数据,就体制内精英家庭出身与农民创业之间的关系进行了分析,并得到以下研究结论：家庭出身的优越性将显著提高农民的创业动机,相比于普通出身或寒门出身,那些出身于体制内精英家庭的农民更倾向于选择创业。同时,体制内精英家庭出身对农民创业的影响还受到家庭社会地位的制约,即在那些社会地位较高的家庭,体制内精英家庭出身对农民创业所产生的积极效应更为明显。进一步分析表明,个体人力资本将影响到农民创业与否的选择,过高或过低的人力资本均将降低农民创业的动力,但人力资本对于精英家庭出身的调节效应并不显著。本文从精英家庭出身入手,探索家庭层面的非市场力量对农民创业的作用机制,不仅有利于挖掘农民创业的内在动因,而且拓展了农村精英的研究维度,为传统精英理论的发展提供新的研究视角。  相似文献
