Preservation and Transmission of Cultural Knowledge about Bronze Drums in Donglan County, Guangxi, China

The preservation and transmission of cultural knowledge about bronze drums in Donglan County, Guangxi, China, is crucial for protecting a valuable cultural heritage that has been passed down through generations. In Guangxi, Guizhou, and Yunnan, several ethnic groups, such as the Zhuang, Buyi, Miao, and others, still include bronze drums in their cultural practices. These drums function as visible connections to ancient customs and are actively conserved through on-site visits and recordings of performances. Donglan County in Guangxi is crucial to this effort, as it has been officially designated as a national-level zone for the protection of both cultural and ecological resources starting in 2023. This project emphasizes the dedication to protecting intangible cultural resources, with cooperation between communities and educational institutions guaranteeing the transfer of this cultural knowledge to future generations through education. The clear differentiation between male and female bronze drums, as well as their specific acoustic characteristics, contributes to the cultural wealth of this heritage. This is preserved through cultural events and educational programs, ensuring its lasting importance for future generations.

The Impact of Globalization on Cultural Identity

Purpose: The general objective of the study was to investigate the impact of globalization on cultural identity. Methodology: The study adopted a desktop research methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive’s time, telephone charges and directories. Thus, the study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through the online journals and library. Findings: The findings reveal that there exists a contextual and methodological gap relating to the impact of globalization on cultural identity. Preliminary empirical review revealed that globalization had a profound impact on cultural identity, reshaping perceptions and facilitating cultural exchange, which enriched local cultures but also challenged traditional norms. This led to the emergence of hybrid cultural forms, blending local and global elements, while also posing threats of cultural homogenization and the erosion of unique identities due to the dominance of global media and consumer culture. Efforts to preserve local traditions and promote cultural resilience were deemed crucial, including the adoption of supportive cultural policies and educational programs that emphasized cultural diversity and heritage. Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The Cultural Hybridization Theory, Cultural Homogenization Theory and World-System Theory may be used to anchor future studies on globalization and cultural identity. The study on the impact of globalization on cultural identity recommended advancing theoretical frameworks to better understand cultural interactions, implementing cultural education and awareness programs, and developing policies to protect and promote cultural diversity. It highlighted the need for legal protections for cultural rights, community engagement in cultural initiatives, and continuous research and monitoring of globalization’s effects on cultural identity. These recommendations aimed to enhance cultural preservation, support cultural expression, and ensure the resilience and sustainability of diverse cultural identities in a globalized world.

문화예술교육과 학업성취도가 청소년 삶의 만족도에 미치는 영향 경로

This study examined the mediating effects of self-esteem and sense of community on the relationships among culture and arts education, academic achievement, and adolescents’ life satisfaction. Data were collected and analyzed from a sample of 560 adolescents who responded to an online survey among the adolescents who participated in the CJ Welfare Foundation’s Culture and Arts Education Program in 2022, and the results are as follows. First, culture and arts education and academic achievement were found to have a positive impact on life satisfaction when no mediating variables were introduced. Second, culture and arts education had a positive impact on both self-esteem and sense of community, but academic achievement had a positive impact on self-esteem only. Third, both self-esteem and sense of community had a positive impact on life satisfaction. When they were introduced as mediating variables, the relationships among culture and arts education, academic achievement, and life satisfaction became insignificant, thus confirming the full mediation of self-esteem and sense of community in the relationships among culture and arts education, academic achievement, and life satisfaction. Fourth, the total indirect effect of arts and culture education on life satisfaction through self-esteem and sense of community was greater than that of academic achievement. In addition, the individual indirect effect of self-esteem was greater than that of sense of community in the relationships among arts and culture education, academic achievement, and life satisfaction. Based on these research findings, suggestions were made regarding ways to promote cultural and arts education as a means to enhance the life satisfaction of adolescents.

문화예술 기업가적 역량 계발을 위한 이론적 모델 연구

This research aims to establish a framework for cultivating entrepreneurial skills in the arts and cultural sector. Viewing entrepreneurship as a skill that can be nurtured through targeted education and training, the study identifies specific skill sets relevant to arts and cultural entrepreneurship and proposes suitable course content for such education. To achieve this, a qualitative meta-analysis and additional content analysis of a broad spectrum of arts and cultural entrepreneurship research were conducted to compare and amalgamate infrequently cited entrepreneurial competencies. As a result, the study presents the creation of 'contextual competencies' and 'situational competencies' models. Based on these models, we suggest structuring educational content across three aspects: imparting “knowledge” about entrepreneurial practices, honing “skills” for executing entrepreneurial actions, and nurturing enduring entrepreneurial “attitudes”. The research ultimately offers a model for the development of entrepreneurial competencies in the arts and cultural sector, emphasizing the relationship between educational outcomes, objectives, and content. This model underscores the need for educational goals centered on the development of entrepreneurial skills in the arts and culture, and for the provision of contextual and situational competencies as educational content to foster competency-based learning among students. This model is intended to serve as a preliminary tool for understanding arts and cultural entrepreneurial skills and as a guide for the creation of arts and cultural entrepreneurship education programs.

메타버스를 활용한 차문화 교육과정 개발을 위한 탐색적 접근

In this study, we applied an exploratory approach to develop a tea culture education curriculum on the Metaverse, which has been receiving considerable attention as a new educational platform beyond the existing online setting. Our findings provide a direction to the development of a creative education curriculum using Metaverse content that can conserve the traditional aspects of Korean tea culture, while creating new value and types of knowledge. By analyzing the traits of different Metaverse platforms, Zepeto was selected as it provides a number of maps that include Korean characteristics and culture, as well as three-dimensional characters and multiple languages; it also allows users to create their own maps. However, due to limitations on sharing content and objects, a map using only images was produced. Based on this, a tea culture education teaching-learning curriculum using the Metaverse was proposed. The significance of this study is that it suggests a new approach in the field of tea culture education that can be more fun and interesting for students. In addition, directions have been proposed for a new type of tea culture education and character education program in the form of etiquette education on the Metaverse beyond existing etiquette education.

Based on Whole Thinking through Imagination Strategies for Programming in Arts Genre Integrated Arts & Culture Education Program: Centered on Gaston Bachelard's Material Imagination

본 연구는 2021년 한국문화예술교육진흥원이 주최하는 <문화예술교육사 대상 프로그램 개발 공모전>에서 프로그램을 개발했던 경험을 바탕으로 한다. 연구자는 경험을 통해 통합 문화예술교육 프로그램을 계획할 때, ‘상상을 통한 총체적 사고 과정’이 필요하다고 생각했다. 이에 가스통 바슐라르의 ‘물질적 상상력’을 통해 주제를 다-감각적으로 상상하는 과정, 방법에 대한 연구를 하였다. 그래서 본 연구에서는 연구자의 예술 장르 통합 프로그램 경험을 언급하고, 문제점을 해결하기에 바슐라르의 상상력이 어떤 의미를 지닐 수 있는지 살펴볼 것이다. 그리고 이를 어떻게 통합 문화예술교육 프로그램 계획에 활용할 수 있는지 연구자의 사례를 통해 설명할 것이다. 이에 교육 현장의 실질적 경험을 바탕으로 한 연구는 통합 문화예술교육의 질적 성장을 위한 좋은 밑바탕이 되기를 기대한다.In 2021, I developed a program for the <Culture and Arts Education Program Development Contest>. When planning a program, I became to think ‘whole thinking through imagination' is necessary. Based on Gaston Bachelard's 'material imagination', a study was conducted on the process and method of imagining a subject multi-sensibly. Therefore, in this study, the researcher's experience of the integrated program was mentioned and looked at what Gaston Bachelard's imagination can mean for solving problems. And I would like to explain how this can be used in planning cultural arts education programs through the case of a researcher. Research based on practical experience in the educational field can be a good foundation for the qualitative growth of integrated culture and arts education.

Cultural Proficiency in First Nations Health Research: A Mixed-Methods, Cross-Cultural Evaluation of a Novel Resource.

Recent efforts have illustrated the efficacy of culturally proficient approaches to research, underpinned by robust partnerships between researchers and First Nations peoples and communities. This article seeks to determine differences in approaches to First Nations research engagement perceptions between First Nations and non-First Nations researchers, as well as whether participation in a cultural proficiency workshop improved the perceived cultural proficiency of non-First Nations health researchers. Also, whether a set of novel cultural proficiency resources, designed in the Sydney region could be applied broadly across First Nations contexts within Australia. The evaluation adopted a mixed-methods, cross-cultural (First Nations and non-First Nations) design to appraise the novel cultural proficiency resources, identifying participant perceptions to First Nations research engagement, as well as views regarding the feasibility of universal application of the resources. A quantitative pre- and post-workshop evaluation was also undertaken to measure differences in self-reported cultural proficiency. Qualitative data underwent thematic analysis and quantitative data were analysed applying t-tests. Both qualitative and quantitative evaluation showed minimal variation between the cultural groups regarding research engagement perceptions, based on viewing of the online resources. A statistically significant increase in self-reported cultural proficiency was found in non-First Nations workshop participants. Cultural proficiency education and training programs that promote an immersive, interactive, and ongoing framework can build the perceived cultural proficiency of non-First Nations health researchers, however First Nations expertise must validate this perceived cultural proficiency to be beneficial in practice. Based on the research findings, applying the underlying ethical principles of First Nations research with a local, context-centred approach allows for the broad application of cultural proficiency research education and training programs within Australia.
