Study on Paths of Affect Factors on Adaption to University Life of Chinese International Students in Korea —Choosing Korean Training Chinese Students as Main Investigation Objects

The purpose of this paper is to study effect factors of adaptation to university life of Chinese International Students in Korea. 374 Korean language trainees are chosen as investigation objects by means of random cluster sampling. Questionnaire data are collected by using the survey form and then paths of effect factors on adaption to university life of Korean training Chinese students in Korea are analyzed. The results indicate that Korean language proficiency, physical symptoms, loneliness, self-efficacy, acculturation stress are direct effect factors on Chinese students adapting to university life in Korea. Besides, Korean language proficiency, physical symptoms, loneliness are not only direct effect factors on self-efficacy and acculturation stress but also indirect effect factors on Chinese students adapting to university life in Korea. In order to improve ability of Korean training Chinese students adapting to university life in Korea, Korean language proficiency and self-efficacy should be improved. And, some effective interventions should be given to reducing physical symptoms, loneliness and acculturation stress.

Chinese medical students’interest in COVID-19 pandemic

BACKGROUND The outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)happened in early December and it has affected China in more ways than one.The societal response to the pandemic restricted medical students to their homes.Although students cannot learn about COVID-19 through clinical practice,they can still pay attention to news of COVID-19 through various channels.Although,as suggested by previous studies,some medical students have already volunteered to serve during the COVID-19 pandemic,the overall willingness of Chinese medical students to volunteer for such has not been systematically examined.AIM To study Chinese medical students’interest in the relevant knowledge on COVID-19 and what roles they want to play in the pandemic.METHODS Medical students at Peking Union Medical College were surveyed via a webbased questionnaire to obtain data on the extent of interest in the relevant knowledge on COVID-19,attitude towards volunteerism in the pandemic,and career preference.Logistic regression modeling was used to investigate possible factors that could encourage volunteerism among this group in a pandemic.RESULTS A total of 552 medical students responded.Most medical students showed a huge interest in COVID-19.The extent of students’interest in COVID-19 varied among different student-classes(P<0.05).Senior students had higher scores than the other two classes.The number of people who were‘glad to volunteer’in COVID-19 represented 85.6%of the respondents.What these students expressed willingness to undertake involved direct,indirect,and administrative job activities.Logistic regression analysis identified two factors that negatively influenced volunteering in the pandemic:Student-class and hazards of the voluntary job.Factors that positively influenced volunteering were time to watch COVID-19 news,predictable impact on China,and moral responsibility.CONCLUSION More innovative methods can be explored to increase Chinese medical students’interest in reading about the relevant knowledge on COVID-19 and doing voluntary jobs during the pandemic.

On the necessity and countermeasures of the ＂internalization＂ construction of the China-characterized public diplomacy under the new situations

In the era of the globalization of the economy, the network of the information, and the socialization of the citizens, there is the tendency that a country＇s domestic problems will be internationalized, while the international issues will be domestic. Combined with the background of China to realize the ＂China Dreams＂, in the field of the public diplomacy, we should pay sufficient attention to the ＂internalization＂ construction in the aspects of the value ideas, the mode of the systems, the political propositions, and the cultural influence and so on, which is the benign interaction involving the governments, the citizens and the social organizations. In this paper, the author casts a brick to attract jade. Through the discussion of the necessity of the ＂internalization＂ construction of the public diplomacy, the author carries out the discussion from the social and the cultural dimensions, in order to arouse the attention to the ＂internalization＂ construction of the public diplomacy, so that our country will be more influential in the politics, and more approachable in the images, and more appealing in the morality.

Transnational public and global health education in China

Transnational public and global health programs in China have rapidly expanded over the past 20 years,and have potential to make important contributions to China’s global health workforce.However,there has been sparse if any literature specific to transnational public and global health higher education in China.In response,this perspective article aims to:(1)outline current transnational public and global health programs in China,and(2)delineate opportunities and challenges for transnational public and global health programs to enhance China’s global health workforce.Based on internet searches,eight active transnational public and global health programs in China were identified in September 2022(one Bachelors;four Masters;three doctorate).Degree awarding institutions are located in Australia,Portugal,the United Kingdom,and the United States.Courses for stand-alone transnational programs were co-delivered by faculty from the Chinese and foreign sponsoring institutions.The earliest and latest programs were respectively established in 2001 and 2022,and the average year of establishment was 2013.The endurance of some programs(three programs operating≥10 years)indicates the potential sustainability of transnational public and global health programs in China.However,opportunities for cross-cultural engagement appear to be constrained by lack of English(or other language)requirements in some programs,limited recruitment of international students,pandemic travel restrictions,and a dearth of funding for global health research outside China.In addition,students enrolled at transnational universities in China are currently ineligible for China Scholarship Council funding.As China’s need for global health capacity grows amid a rapidly shrinking population of younger citizens,strategic investments in transnational public and global health programs may be of increasing value.

中国特色高校评价体系的内涵与建构

高校是高等教育系统的基本单位,高校评价体系的建构对高等教育高质量发展具有基础性作用。当前我国高校评价存在内涵不清楚、特色不明显、价值导向不明确、分类不尽合理等问题。要解决“五唯”的顽瘴痼疾,建立中国特色高校评价体系是应然的选择。中国特色高校评价体系的建构应以中国特色高校分类评价驱动中国高校的分类发展为目标,以整体设计和关系性思维为指引;以中国式府学关系为基础,以政府评价为主导,以高校内部评价为主体,以社会评价为重要参考,政府评价、高校内部评价与社会评价协同共进;以分类评价、综合评价和增值评价为具体方法,基于赋权型评价、欣赏型评价和包容型评价等基本方略,在各级各类高校中实现结果评价的改进、过程评价的强化,最终基于中国特色高校评价体系以高质量的高校评价加快推进高等教育高质量发展。

清华大学东欧交换生中国语文专修班建班考

清华大学东欧交换生中国语文专修班是中华人民共和国成立之初,在毛泽东等中央领导人直接参与下,由周恩来主持,并经外交部、文化教育委员会和教育部等多部门协同运作,委托清华大学建立的当代中国第一个对外汉语教学机构。该班发端于中国和东欧五国交换留学生的动议,中外双方就学习内容与期限、生源资质、生活待遇等问题进行了充分的协商,形成了建国初期留学生教学与管理的雏形。1950年9月,清华专修班正式成立,至1952年秋季转入北京大学之前,实有教职员工17人,学生36名。其行政管理分为3个层面:政府层面为东欧来华留学生工作组,由相关部委人员组成;学校层面为外籍学生指导委员会,由校内知名学者组成;机构层面即清华大学东欧交换生中国语文专修班,在行政级别上与“系”平级,由邓懿主持具体教学工作。清华专修班的工作原则有二,一为“分工合作”,二为“民主集中”。回首望去,清华专修班的建立不仅培养了一批知华友华的外国学生,而且为中国对外汉语教学的发展奠定了稳固的基石,在中国乃至世界汉语教育史上占有重要的一席。

中国式学前教育现代化的演变及其启示

中国式现代化为中国式学前教育现代化提供了宏观背景和总体引领,中国式学前教育现代化是中国式教育现代化在学前阶段的细化和深入推进,是中国共产党团结领导各族人民紧跟国际教育现代化步伐,以中国式现代化为发展根基,基于国内教育实际情况和办学特色,颁布并实施系列政策法规促进学前教育深化改革,打破“教育现代化”等同于“教育西方化”的片面性认知局限,构建具有中国特色社会主义教育现代化的学前教育新样态。中国式学前教育现代化发展特征表现为教育模式具有时代性,教育价值取向重新回归于促进幼儿的发展,持续推进公平而有质量的教育发展目标,政府主导下实施普及普惠实效性显著。中国式学前教育现代化发展之路的演变经历了发展模式从借鉴到创生、价值取向从对立到整合、发展目标从量变到质变和发展动力从单一到融合。基于此演变逻辑获得相关启示,即坚持党引领下的政府主导制不动摇,始终践行以社会主义核心价值观为主的学前教育现代化理念,持续推进学前教育普及普惠安全优质发展,以创新为驱动力构建高质量学前教育公共服务体系。
