Autoethnographical Research on the Experience of Identity Change as an Artist, Teacher and Teaching Artist

AbstractAn autoethnographic exploration of identity formation raises the question of how individuals inhabit, negotiate, accommodate and resist the social groups to which they belong, continually coming to terms with who and what they are. This paper discusses, through this researcher's autobiographical exploration, the ways in which pedagogical discourse and practice produce identities that are constructed within the broader sociocultural context of arts education. As an art educator who has been learning and teaching in the Korean sociocultural context since the 1970s, I have experienced the struggle between my identity as an artist and my identity as a teacher amidst the changes in educational ideology reflected in the Korean national curriculum, which is a set of pedagogical discourses and practices that are constructed within a particular sociocultural context. It can be said that my autobiographical narration has important implications for the practice of art education in connecting individuals and society in an ambiguous and complex future society by enhancing theoretical understanding of wider social phenomena. In this paper, the narrative interpretation of my changing identity as an artist, an art teacher and a teaching artist provides a timely insight into identity shifts in how the artwork we encounter and our perceptions of art are shaped and transformed by our own cultural experiences and recollections of our own personal experiences within the interconnectedness of art and education across time.

The Inspiration of German Civic Education to China’s Ideological and Political Education Work

German civic education has undergone a complex development process and has a long history. Through the analysis and study of the basic profile of German civic education, it is clear that the characteristics of German civic education: focusing on the democratic nature of education, focusing on the practical experience of the citizens, emphasizing the citizens’ sense of rights and responsibilities and strengthening the influence of religious education, has a multifaceted significance for promoting the further development of the theory and practice of ideological and political education in China.

«Любование стариной» в эпоху «великого перелома»: Н.И. Воробьев и преподавание этнографии в вузах Казани (1920-е – начало 1930-х гг.)

The paper examines the teaching activities of the famous ethnographer, geographer, researcher of the ethnography of the Tatars and other peoples of the Volga region, Nikolay Iosifovich Vorobyev, at Kazan University and the Eastern Pedagogical Institute in the 1920s – early 1930s. His role in organising special departments of these universities, where ethnography and related disciplines (anthropology, anthropogeography, ethnology, etc.) were taught, is shown. The views on ethnographic education of the Kazan teaching community, students and authorities at various levels are described. The paper shows that in the first years of the Soviet rule, ethnography was taught in large quantities at several Kazan institutes of higher education – Kazan University, North-Eastern Archaeological and Ethnographic Institute, and Eastern Pedagogical Institute. The main initiators of including ethnographic disciplines in the curriculum of institutes were employees of Kazan University, including N.I. Vorobyev. However, officials of the RSFSR People’s Commissariat for Education considered ethnography as a discipline that studies ‘backward peoples’ and ‘relicts’, and did not see it as a means of ideological education of students. Therefore, the number of hours assigned to this subject was reduced quite quickly. N.I. Vorobyev and his colleagues proposed a number of educational departments projects (geographical and museum-ethnographic sections of the Eastern Pedagogical Institute) in order to preserve ethnographic education in Kazan. As a result of their efforts, students of the Physics and Mathematics Department of Kazan University and the Eastern Department of the Eastern Pedagogical Institute studied ethnography and related subjects until its ‘defeat’ on the cusp of the 1920s and 1930s.

The complexity of the student counselor system in China’s higher education: A case study on restrictions and possible flexibility in ideological education

Student counselors in Chinese higher education serve as conduits for providing political guidance and indoctrinating students with socialist values. Their primary role is to administer citizenship education as a means of political socialization, encompassing both ideological and organizational aspects. This article examines this phenomenon within the context of a specific university’s historical trajectory, drawing upon qualitative data to present a nuanced understanding of its complexities. Through this case study, the article sheds light on various approaches to citizenship education and offers valuable insights into the landscape of Chinese higher education amidst globalization. It reveals the coexistence of constraints and flexibility in ideological education within this context, shaped by the intricate interactions between student counselors and students. These dynamics are driven by the imperative of stability maintenance mandated by both the state and the university. The pragmatic approaches adopted by student counselors in their daily work serve as means to facilitate its implementation.

Education of Deported Lithuanian Children

As a result of Soviet repression about 40,000 Lithuanian children with their families were deported to Siberia, where they had started or continued their education. The Soviet, with knowledge of education importance of the new regime loyal generation, spend a lot of attention, increased funding, and enforce compulsory education. The education system was affected by World War II: the number of pupils in schools fell by as much as 25%, pre-war levels were reached again by 1950. School conditions were poor – children did not have learning tools, there was a lack of premises, textbooks, teachers. The situation started to get a little better in the postwar period, but no major changes took place until about the early 1960s. Teachers had the greatest influence to the quality of learning. Ideological education played an important role to the learning system turning children into loyal Soviet citizens. However, adults were teaching their children at home in case of possible ideology affection, loss of national identity. The opportunities of deported people to study at higher schools were limited, nevertheless, a number of them entered higher education and completed their studies.

Research on the influence mechanism of college students' mainstream consciousness leadership under the background of mobile Internet

In recent years, the rapid innovation and popularization of mobile communication and new media technologies have brought about profound changes in the mode of social information dissemination. For college students whose ideological values are still in the critical period of development and change, how to enhance their mainstream ideological leadership in the mobile Internet era and guide the ideological and behavioral development of college students with socialist ideology guided by Marxism has become a common focus of attention in society and academia. At present, the research on the mainstream ideological leadership of college students in the academic community mainly focuses on the negative impact of modern communication technologies such as new media on the ideological work of colleges and universities and the corresponding countermeasures, while the theoretical core and internal composition of the mainstream ideological leadership, as well as the deep impact logic, positive and negative impacts and systematic improvement paths of the technological and social changes in the mobile Internet era on the mainstream ideological leadership of college students are still insufficient. Therefore, this study aims to go beyond the research perspective of traditional college ideological education management, deeply explore the basic connotation and force composition of the mainstream ideological leadership, systematically analyze the deep impact logic of the mobile Internet era on the mainstream ideological leadership of college students, sort out its improvement opportunities, and explore the structural dilemmas in it, and propose a systematic path for improving the mainstream ideological leadership of college students.

Implementation of Ideological and Political Theory Course Based on Problem-Based Learning Combined with Small Private Online Course teaching model to Enhance Learning Achievement and Citizenship of Chinese College Students

Background and Aim: Problem-based learning is a kind of targeted and practical learning for students to solve real problems. In the problem design stage, the design of problem scenarios is the core of problem-based learning. The concept of Small Private Online Course (SPOC) was first proposed by Professor Armando Fox, director of MOOC Lab at the University of California, Berkeley, and is abbreviated for Small Private Online Course. In this study, Problem-Based Learning combined with a Small Private Online teaching model were combined to generate a new teaching model. This teaching model emphasizes the role of the problem in the teaching process. Learning throughout the course is an open and dynamic system that can be adapted and improved based on feedback. The purpose of this study was; 1) To compare students’ learning achievement before and after learning through ideological moral and legal basic courses based on problem-based learning combined with the Small Private Online Course (SPOC) teaching model and 2) To compare citizenship of Chinese college students before and after learning through ideological and political theory course based on problem-based learning and Small Private Online Course (SPOC) teaching model. Materials and methods: In this experimental study, 50 students (one class) from Xi’an University were investigated. This study used test and self-evaluation forms given to students before and after learning through ideological and political theory education based on problem-based learning combined with small private online (SPOC). Data were collected and analyzed by means, standard deviation, and dependent sample t-test. Results: The results of the learning achievement before and after learning based on problem-based learning and small private online (SPOC) on ideological and political theory course, it was found that the mean scores of pretests of students’ learning achievement were 13.31(SD=6.860) and mean scores of posttests were 17.32 (SD=7.197). The post-test score of students' learning achievement was higher than that of the pre-test score at.01 level of significance. Moreover, the results of citizenship of Chinese college students found that the mean scores of pretests of citizen self-evaluation scores were 35.42 (SD=9.338) and the mean scores of posttests were 44.18 (SD=9.736). The posttest scores of citizenships of Chinese college students were higher than that of the pretest scores at.01 level of significance. Conclusion: The developed ideological and political theory course based on problem-based learning combined with small private online (SPOC) has a significant effect on improving the learning achievement and citizenship of Chinese college students.

교육적 이상향으로서 인문주의에 나타난 ‘안과 밖’의 모순 - 독일 교양시민계층의 사례와 정전(正典) 논쟁을 중심으로

This thesis focuses on two historical cases by comparing the contradiction between the ideal of humanistic education and its realization in the concept of dialectical logic to the inner and outer. The first inside and outside is the socio-political consequence of the Bildung concept, which is the German typical of modern humanist educational ideology, and the educated middle class, which has made it a group identity. The result of the neo-humanistic educational ideals and the instrumentalization of education understood by the German educated middle class shows the modern origin of class inequality in schooling, which is a drastic problem in modern capitalist society. The second contradiction is that between the inner logic of European tradition and values, and the outer logic of non-European perspectives. Humanism has regarded the power-guaranteed classics, called canon, as an absolute value transcending time and society. However, since the middle of the 20th century, the discourse of diversity driven by multiculturalism, criticism of orientalism, feminism, and political correctness debate have raised questions about the canonization itself. Humanism tried to preserve its content value as a European heritage, but from the outside, charges of Eurocentrism were accused. The contradictory attributes of humanism are related to the aporia of discord between the ideology of education and reality.

千定煥 명예교수의 교정간호 개혁론: 채용측면

Correctional nursing is nursing that which is related medical practices for inmate and it comes from the educational ideology. The ideology of correctional nursing should be transferred to correctional nursing welfare that contributes to resocialization as it is transferred to the correctional welfare ideology and It is my correctional nursing welfare theory that the recruitment of correctional nurses should be a friendly recruitment of correctional nursing welfare. In the reality, correctional nurses and security officers may have business conflicts due to different values and behaviors pursued. A new nurse will have an ethical dilemma if he / she is employed without knowing the characteristics of the correction environment in which the security symbol acts strongly as a substructure. This reduces the productivity and resocialization of correctional care. Therefore, it is important to recruit a nurse with corrective motivation, propensity and qualities. In order to do this, it is necessary to approach from the perspective of correctional environment and personnel administration. At present, in terms of personnel, there is a recruitment method of a dualized correctional nurse consisting of a plain clothes nurse and a uniform nurse. But, the dual recruitment method hinders the unity of personnel administration and the uniform nurse system has many problems in terms of social psychology. Therefore, as a reform plan, fundamentally, it is necessary to reform the general correctional officer recruitment system. Thorough correction reforms such as abolishing the memorization-oriented recruitment system that hinders the validity of the test and hiring through the establishment of a correctional welfare university are necessary, but it is difficult to expect a thorough security regime in Korea. Therefore, it should be precisely employed to enhance the validity of the correctional nurse recruitment test. In this logic, we need to unify the recruitment method of the currently dualized nurses or testing methods should be revamped to ensure that correctional-friendly nurses are employed. However, if the current system is maintained, the recruitment system such as the written test should be reformed to make the test valid, the correction-friendly recruitment ideology and the human rights ideology. In terms of personnel environment, institutional measures should be sought to include correctional facilities in clinical practice institutions such as nursing departments. Until the first half of 2023, there were no papers suggesting the problems of recruitment of orthodontic nurses. Therefore, this paper describes the problems and development plans in a multidisciplinary approach from a unique point of view.

Examining The Dual Impact of Comprehensive Psychological Intervention and Ideological and Political Education on College Students' Health Behaviour

Background: College students face unique challenges including lifestyle transitions and increased academic demands, highlighting the need for interventions that address both behavioral and psychological health. Recent insights into ideological education and mental health suggest they significantly influence students' health-related choices. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of an Integrated Physical Education (IPE) curriculum coupled with a psychosocial intervention on the health-related behaviors of college students. Methods: We employed a pre-test/post-test design to assess changes in self-reported health behaviors, physical activity levels, stress management, and sleep quality following the intervention. Results: The intervention led to noticeable improvements across several areas. Participants experienced reduced stress levels and enhanced sleep quality, attributed to the intervention's focus on relaxation techniques, potentially improving overall energy levels. Additionally, there was a positive shift in physical activity patterns, with an increase in moderate-intensity exercises and a decrease in lower-intensity activities. However, the study also identified barriers to sustaining these healthy behaviors, such as time constraints and elevated stress during examinations, which hindered consistent participation in fitness regimes and healthy eating. Lack of social support also emerged as a challenge in maintaining these lifestyle changes. Conclusions: The findings suggest that integrating comprehensive psychological therapies with political and ideological education can effectively promote positive changes in health-related behaviors among college students. The study recommends incorporating practical advice on integrating healthy routines into daily schedules to address time management challenges, thereby enhancing the sustainability of health-promoting behaviors. Recommendations: Future interventions should focus on strategies for overcoming time barriers and enhancing social support to facilitate long-term adherence to healthy behaviors among college students.

Teaching Reform of Veterinary Microbiology Based on the Hybrid Teaching of Ideology and Politics

The veterinary microbiology teaching team thoroughly implements the national education policy, and iteratively promotes the implementation of the teaching reform of Sanquan education. The teaching team is focused on a “student-centered” approach to education, emphasizing the foundation of “cultivating people and nurturing the root and soul of the nation.” By integrating “knowledge exploration, skill training, and value shaping” into the talent training plan, they are reshaping curriculum objectives and emphasizing ideological education in the syllabus. The teaching content system is being reconstructed, combining multiple interactions of blended teaching with the “six-in-one” ideological education model, to achieve the educational goals of the new agricultural “in-class-extracurricular” approach. This effort provides an empirical basis for the ideological and political teaching reform of the veterinary microbiology curriculum.

Refashioning the Relationship with the Social World: A Nexus Analysis of a Japanese Queer Immigrant’s English Learning in Canada

Drawing on ethnographic data, this article chronicles a Japanese queer immigrant’s English learning experiences in a metropolitan area in western Canada. Informed by sociocultural theories and identity-centred approaches to Second Language Acquisition (SLA) research, I highlight the significance and interconnection between social identity, ideology, and language learner agency in second language (L2) learning, teaching, and education. Over a seven-month span, I investigated two research questions targeting the ideological constraints and potential coping strategies in the key participant’s English learning. Nexus analysis is applied as the methodological framework. Following a three-step procedure, I first illustrate my positionality as a researcher and the rationale of the project. I then conduct critical discourse analysis delving into two featured social actions selected from the database generated through ethnographic observations, semi-structured interviews, and participant’s reflective journals. I conclude with a discussion of how SLA researchers and educational practitioners can better support marginalized immigrants’ L2 learning. Building on this case, I propose an allyship-centred approach in L2 teaching and researching and a model of collaborative working between researchers and educational practitioners to provoke more equitable nexuses of practice in immigrants’ L2 education.

Integration of curriculum ideology and politics in higher education: a case study of English linguistics in China

Amidst efforts to fulfill the Chinese government’s education guide for morality building and character cultivating, curriculum ideology and politics have emerged as key aspects in higher education pedagogy. English linguistics, a staple for junior English majors and often perceived as theoretical and challenging, represents an opportunity to align with national education directives. This study explores the integration of ideological and political education within the English major’s curriculum, specifically within an English linguistics course. This paper details an empirical case study conducted in a local Jiangxi university in China, where an “ideological education + linguistics” teaching model was carefully crafted and implemented in the introductory linguistics session. Methodologies included classroom observation, post-lesson questionnaire and interview, revealing enhancements in student engagement, understanding of linguistic concepts, and scientific and logical reasoning. Additionally, noteworthy improvements in teaching methodologies were reported. The findings affirm the model’s feasibility and effectiveness in reinforcing the curriculum ideology and politics in major disciplines, suggesting a beneficial tripartite impact on national educational goals, student learning, and teaching innovation. Research significance indicates that by applying their experiences, front-line teachers can act as researchers, enhancing the implementation of educational research; besides theoretical studies, micro case studies are essential to validate and complement educational research, thus contributing to the development of a comprehensive theoretical framework.

Research on the Dilemma and Path of Mental Health Education for College Students from the Perspective of Home-School Cooperation

With the development of society and the advancement of education, the state has increasingly emphasized the importance of mental health education for college students. Mental health education for college students serves as an effective vehicle for psychological education in universities, with family and school education being the two critical fronts. To ensure the smooth implementation of mental health education for college students, it is imperative for schools and families to collaborate and cooperate closely, thus effectively promoting the healthy growth and comprehensive development of students. Given the current challenges such as inadequate awareness of home-school cooperative education, lack of mechanisms for home-school cooperation, and a singular platform for home-school cooperation, we need to comprehensively improve the overall quality of mental health education by unifying the ideology of home-school cooperative education, establishing a sound mechanism for home-school cooperation, innovating the platform for home-school cooperation, and enriching the content of home-school cooperation.
