This article highlights the processes of education reform in the People's Republic of China (PRC) associated with the transition to a new stage of civilizational development, from an industrial to an information digital society. The main purpose of this study is to analyze the new stage of education reform in China. The following methods were used in the article: an empirical research method, such as analysis of open sources, official documents, publications in the state media of the People's Republic of China, as well as expert assessments of scientists from Russia, Singapore, Australia and island China. The method of qualitative analysis – in-depth interview was also applied. It was noted that there is a continuous search for new approaches to education that would be competitive in the global market, but at the same time taking into account national specifics. One of the main documents referred to by the authors in the study is "Opinions on standardization of the development of educational institutions off-campus", published in July-August 2021 from the General Staff of the State Council of the People's Republic of China. These documents were adopted in order to optimize the education system of the People's Republic of China, which was strongly influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic. The main goal of the "Opinions" is the need to improve the quality of school and higher education, as well as the standardization of extracurricular education in the centers of additional education. These measures are aimed at improving the quality of education in the country. The article provides brief reviews of articles by foreign scientists and highlights the main points of the laws with the main excerpts from a number of provisions on the role of teachers in China. The adoption of new reforms in China, as well as the situation with COVID-19 in the world, affected the activities of foreigners working in kindergartens and additional education centers, who remained inside the country during the pandemic. This law imposed a complete ban on the activities of educational institutions, thereby leaving foreigners without a basic source of income abroad. This article presents a number of in-depth interviews with young professionals with experience in teaching foreign languages in China. The interview was conducted on the condition of complete anonymity, all the names in the article have been changed. It was found that the information received from the respondents has a certain value, as it allows us to assess how the reforms in the field of education have affected not only the Chinese themselves, but also foreigners working in China. During the interview, the main conclusions were drawn, presented in the form of graphs and diagrams that allow you to visually assess the results of the study. This article covers the events that have been taking place in China since the summer of 2021 to the present day, this is its scientific novelty, since "Opinions" have introduced a number of significant changes into the Chinese education system that have not yet been fully studied, and their impact on Chinese society has not been fully revealed.

Understanding a STEM teacher\u2019s emotions and professional identities: a three-year longitudinal case study

BackgroundTeacher emotions are sometimes underplayed in the research field of teaching and teacher education. Also, teachers often undergo transformations in their professional identities during education reforms. However, very few studies explore the connections between teacher emotions and their professional identities against the background of education reforms, especially in Asian contexts. There is an increasing emphasis on STEM as an education reform in China and the world, and a deep understanding of STEM teacher emotions and professional identities is necessary in the fast development of STEM education. This study examined how a STEM teacher emotionally constructed her professional identities under the STEM education reform.MethodsThis is a 3-year longitudinal case study employing a narrative inquiry approach with one STEM teacher in China. Data collection included one in-depth, semi-structured interview, three conversations, personal emotional diaries, and correspondence records. A four-step data analysis was conducted.ResultsThree major themes reflecting the participant’s emotional professional identities emerged, including “an interested but confused learner”, “an enthusiastic but nervous explorer”, and “an excited but unsatisfied mentor”. In the participant’s experiences as a learner, explorer, and mentor, positive and negative emotions were always intertwined. These helped construct and shape her professional identities and encouraged her to be the best STEM teacher that she could be.ConclusionThis study provides a series of vivid and dynamic pictures of a STEM teacher’s emotions and professional identities against the background of STEM education reform in China from a 3-year longitudinal perspective. It also indicates the personal, social, cultural, and contextual factors that could have strong effects on teachers’ emotional experiences and the construction of professional identities. Furthermore, this study reveals that three processes (i.e., the process of education changes, the process of creating new or multiple professional identities, and the generation process of teacher emotions) could be intertwined and developed together.

From government to governance: School coalition for promoting educational quality and equity in China

The major aim of recent school education reform in China is to improve educational equity and quality. This paper aims to explore a collaborative reform in a school district in Hangzhou in Zhejiang Province. The major focus of the reform has been a change of school management from “government” to “governance,” which is a shift from individual school effort to multi-school collaboration, from a single point development to a regional ecological development, as well as from loose development to excellence and equality development. Under such reform and through the school coalition among all schools within the district, high-quality and balanced development of the regional education has been promoted. Reform strategies in the school coalition studied include enhancing educational equity within the coalition; coordinating multiple powers; upholding educational quality by a shared curriculum; putting in extra resources to release school burdens; improving the quality of the teaching force; and developing an evidence-based comprehensive assessment system. The results of such changes not only promote teacher professional development but also meet students’ individual needs and growth. The schools involved in the collaborative endeavor have all earned support and recognition from parents, respect from the bureau, and a good reputation, and have improved competitiveness in Hangzhou.

Was educational reform in China’s New Policies “genuine reform”? The critical role of political ideology (1901–1904)

ABSTRACT The nature of the New Policies in China (1901–1911) has been hotly debated for decades. While scholars doubt the sincerity of the Qing government in their pursuit of constitutional reform, there is a general agreement on the high quality of their educational reform. Some even consider their educational innovations as “genuine reform” but condemn the political reform as “pseudo reform”. How could educational reform be independent of political influence? To understand the institutional change in education in the final decade of imperial China, this article analyses the relationship between educational reform and political ideology in the New Policies before 1905 by comparing the 1902 and 1904 Decrees on education. It will be shown that the 1902 Decrees deemphasised the imperial orthodoxy, and they were therefore unacceptable for the ruling circle and did not work out. The 1904 Decrees, on the contrary, succeeded because of their accordance with the dominant political ideology. The “genuineness” of the educational reform in the New Policies seem not to be an indicator of the central government’s determination to pursue fundamental reform before 1905. Rather, to a large extent, this determination was manifested in the substantial achievement of educational reform at the local level during 1906 to 1911.

Construction of Personalized Education Model for College Students Driven by Big Data and Artificial Intelligence

The combination of big data, artificial intelligence and education has become a new mode of university education reform in China.

The Effect of the Compulsory Education Reform on Biomarkers for Allostatic Load in Middle Adulthood: A Natural Experiment from China

Background: Lower education is associated with an increased biological risk for allostatic load, but it remains unclear whether increasing years of schooling through policy interventions can reduce these risks. Methods: Using a regression discontinuity design (RDD), we assessed the causal effect of the compulsory education reform in China on biomarkers in the cardiovascular system, the metabolic system, the inflammation system, the urinary system, and the total allostatic load in middle adulthood. Findings: The reform resulted in a significant increase in years of education for those from communities with the middle 1/3 per capita income (PCI) (β 2·68, 95% CI 0·21–5·14). Eligibility to the reform had no impact on biomarkers for the total sample (β 0·11, 95% CI -0·70 – 0·91) and for those from communities with the lowest (β 0·31, 95% CI -0·84 – 1·46) or highest third of PCI (β 0·76, 95% CI -0·46 – 1·99), while it reduced the metabolic risk (β -0·13, 95% CI -0·26 – -0·01) and total allostatic load (β -1·73, 95% CI -3·22 – -0·25) among those from communities with the middle third PCI. These findings were robust across sensitivity analyses of different placebo cutoff points and bandwidths. Interpretation: Education led to better health to some extent, but the effect only manifested in people from communities with a moderate community PCI, and had little impact on affluent or disadvantaged groups. Our findings stressed that the institutional context and respondents’ socioeconomic environment must be taken into account when assessing the health impact of the compulsory education reform. Funding: None. Declaration of Interests: We declare no competing interests. Ethics Approval Statement: The researchers from the Carolina Population Center who are responsible for the collection of CHNS data had received ethic approval the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Supportive learning environments at elementary level in China

Since the first curriculum reform in the 1990s, education reforms in China have aimed at creating a student-centred education model based on creativity. The effectiveness of such strategies is, however, questionable. This paper explores the current level of supportive learning environment at elementary schools. Through empirical research conducted at a primary school in China, the study sheds light on situations that affect the implementation of creativity at school. The researchers adopted qualitative methodologies for the examination of three aspects: classroom activities, teaching behaviour and assessments. The results suggest that, to a certain extent, teachers at the selected primary school are aware of the significance of facilitating a creative learning environment. Interviews with students and researchers’ observations demonstrate, nonetheless, that strategies to foster student creative potential are put into practice at a very low level, bringing forth a learning environment that is far from creative.
