A Game for the Global North: The 2018 Winter Olympic Games in Pyeongchang and South Korean Cultural Politics   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Jung Woo Lee 《国际体育史杂志》2016,33(12):1411-1426

Abstract

The South Korean region of Pyeongchang will host the 2018 Winter Olympic Games. Using Wallerstein’s world system theory and Collins’s notions of zones of prestige and emulation as a conceptual framework, this paper examines the South Korean Government’s intention to stage the winter sporting spectacle. As the Winter Olympics is arguably considered a game for the relatively affluent global north, South Korea, as a semi-core state, attempts to elevate its position to a global economic and cultural powerhouse through being a host of this winter sports mega-event. However, it should be noted that the Winter Olympic Games is an event through which white supremacy and Western cultural hegemony are continuously reinforced. Therefore, the South Korean ambition to enhance its international standing by staging the Winter Olympic Games paradoxically reflects Western cultural imperialism and Orientalism embedded in South Korean cultural politics associated with the winter sporting contest.  相似文献   

Girls and computer science: experiences,perceptions, and career aspirations     

Jung Won Hur  Carey E. Andrzejewski  Daniela Marghitu 《Computer Science Education》2017,27(2):100-120

The purpose of this mixed methods study was to examine ways to promote computer science (CS) among girls by exploring young women’s experiences and perceptions of CS as well as investigating factors affecting their career aspirations. American girls aged 10–16 participated in focus group interviews as well as pre-, post-, and follow-up surveys while attending a CS camp. The analysis of data revealed that although the participants were generally positive about the CS field, they had very limited knowledge of and experience with CS, leading to little aspiration to become computer scientists. The findings also indicated that girls’ affinity for and confidence in CS were critical factors affecting their motivation for pursuing a CS-related career. The study demonstrated that participation in the CS camp motivated a small number of participants to be interested in majoring in CS, but the activity time was too short to make a significant impact. Based on the findings, we suggest that providing CS programming experiences in K-12 classrooms is important in order to boost girls’ confidence and interest in CS.  相似文献   

A logical analysis of faculty collective bargaining     

Loren Jung  Richard Liu 《Research in higher education》1982,17(2):115-124

This paper proposes a model for the verbal theory of collective bargaining. Four variables are used: trust, salary, inclination for collective bargaining, and general professional market. Postulates from the model and strategies for estimating its parameters are also discussed.  相似文献   

Monitoring elementary students’ writing progress using curriculum-based measures: grade and gender differences     

Kristen L. McMaster  Jaehyun Shin  Christine A. Espin  Pyung-Gang Jung  Miya Miura Wayman  Stanley L. Deno 《Reading and writing》2017,30(9):2069-2091

The purpose of this study was to examine slopes from curriculum-based measures of writing (CBM-W) as indicators of growth in writing. Responses to story prompts administered for 5 min to 89 students in Grades 2–5 were collected across 12 weeks and scored for correct word sequences (CWS) and correct minus incorrect sequences (CIWS). Linear mixed modeling revealed that, for students in Grades 2–3, a linear model with random effects on both intercept and slope fit the data best. For students in Grades 4–5, growth trends varied depending on number of weeks and scoring procedure used. The time point at which slopes were significantly different from zero varied by scoring procedure and grade. Gender was related to intercept and slope for CWS and CIWS in Grades 2–3 and to intercept and linear slope for CWS and CIWS in Grades 4–5. Findings suggest that CBM-W may be appropriate for monitoring student progress, and that gender should be considered in data-based decision making.  相似文献   

Course-level modeling of preservice teacher learning of technology integration     

Jiyoon Jung  Anne Ottenbreit-Leftwich 《British journal of educational technology : journal of the Council for Educational Technology》2020,51(2):555-571

We introduce an analytic approach to examine preservice teachers' technology integration learning as a process mapped against their technology-related course experience in a technology integration course. The approach assumes that (1) the preservice teachers have common course learning experience; (2) their data are collected pre- and post-course and paired; (3) the sample size is large enough to generate a structural covariance model; (4) the measurement is contextualized to the course characteristics around the types of technology tasks/tools used in the course and whether or not they were explicitly taught. The approach was applied to 368 preservice teachers' paired data to illustrate how the approach addresses the methodological issue of construct validity in TPACK measures, highlights the importance of technology integration course experience, and provides useful insights into a particular technology integration learning to its stakeholders.  相似文献   

The social,economic and political contexts of adults' participation in undergraduate programmes: a state-level analysis     

Jong-Chul Jung  Ronald M. Cervero 《International Journal of Lifelong Education》2013,32(4):305-320

This study examined the extent to which socially structured factors impact adults' participation in undergraduate programmes in the USA. In a collective sense, this study started with an assumption that adults' decision to participate in educational programmes does not only rely on individual psychological and their adjacent environmental attributes, but it is also, in part, influenced by socially structured contexts surrounding them. Using the state as a unit of analysis, this study analysed the relationships between socio-demographic, economic, educational and political factors and the variation of adults' participation in the undergraduate programmes. Variables from both educational and socio-demographic factors had stronger relationships with adults' participation. Some variables that states can control through policy-related actions were meaningfully associated with adults' participation. Through this sociological understanding of adult participation in higher education, this study will supplement the lack of attention to macro-level perspectives in participation research in adult education.  相似文献   

A study of Korean middle school students’ interests in biology and their implications for biology education     

Jung‐Lim Hong  Kew‐Cheol Shim  Nam‐Kee Chang 《International Journal of Science Education》2013,35(8):989-999

This study analyses middle school students’ interests in biology to provide information on instructional strategies and curriculum development in Korea. An instrument that measures interests was developed based on the middle school biology curriculum. It consists of 64 three‐point Likert‐type items (scores range from 0 to 2). The two components, ‘topic’ and ‘activity’, are composed of 64 items. The topic component and the activity component contain 11 domains and six domains respectively. Data were collected from 267 middle school students in Seoul (male: 169, female: 107). The levels of interest in topic and activity were almost the same and not high. The highest interest domains were ‘genetics’ in topics and ‘observing through a microscope’ in activities. The interest levels in the domain ‘plant morphology’ and ‘plant‐related activity’ were the lowest in each component. The interest level of the eighth graders was the highest found among students. Interest levels of females were lower than those of males in ‘environment and ecosystem’, ‘animal reproduction’ and ‘animal morphology’, but higher in ‘plant morphology’ and ‘plant related activity’ (p < 0.05). Among the topics, the ‘human biology’ domain correlated positively with the domains ‘genetics’, ‘environment and ecosystem’ and ‘respiration of animal and plant’. The correlation between the domains of ‘plant reproduction and nutrition’ and ‘plant development’ was significant in ‘activity’ (r > 0.50, p < 0.001). Consistencies in interests were suggested with respect to instructional strategy and curriculum design.  相似文献   

Exploring regional and institutional factors of international students' dropout: The South Korea case          下载免费PDF全文

Jisun Jung  Yangson Kim 《Higher Education Quarterly》2018,72(2):141-159

With an increasing number of international students in South Korea, the issue of retaining these students and reducing their dropout rates has become important. This study explores the multilevel factors that affect the institutional dropout rate among international students in Korea. The research questions are as follows: (a) to what extent do international students drop out from undergraduate or short‐term programmes in Korean universities?; (b) what are the regional and institutional factors that determine international students' dropout rates? This study uses the panel data on educational institutions as found in the Higher Education in Korea report, which has been updated annually by the Ministry of Education since 2013. According to the pooled ordinary least square and panel analyses, the results indicate that a range of institutional factors (such as type, size, tuition and research performance of academics) and regional factors (such as regional gross domestic product, inflation and the numbers of foreigners in the region) are all associated with the dropout rates of international students. This study suggests that we need to consider various factors to improve the international students' learning experiences both inside and outside of the campus.  相似文献
