INFLUENCING FACTORS AND IMPROVEMENT STRATEGIES FOR JUNIOR MIDDLE SCHOOL TEACHER LEADERSHIP IN REGIONAL SCHOOLS-TAKE CHAOZHOU CITY GUANGDONG CHINA AS AN EXAMPLE

In the 21st century, educational development and changes have become increasingly globalized, and teachers have been given an increasingly important role in the educational reform and development of countries around the world. The concept of teacher leadership and actions to develop teacher leadership have been recognized by more and more countries. Based on the urgent need for educational modernization, the new situation of integrated development and reform of urban and rural education, and the changes in the social environment brought about by new urbanization, the comprehensive two-child policy, and the reform of high school and college entrance examinations, China has put forward different and higher requirements for the construction of teachers. In 2018, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council jointly issued "Opinions on Comprehensively Deepening the Reform of Teacher Team Construction in the New Era" with Zhongfa No. 4. There have been new changes in the development of main policy concepts, emphasizing the transformation of teachers from passive policy implementation roles to the main body responsible for education quality. This article chooses junior high school teacher leadership as the research topic. Through interviews with junior high school teachers in Chaozhou City, Guangdong Province, China, it explores the development issues of school improvement in junior high school teacher leadership since China’s new round of basic education reform started in 2021.

Typologising formal school-to-school collaborations—education collectives—in China through the metaphor of Chinese landscape painting

ABSTRACTIn China, formal school groupings known as ‘education collectives’ have become one of the most common forms of school-to-school collaboration, promoted by policymakers to narrow the achievement gap between schools and optimise resource allocation. Previous research has focused on the purposes and achievements of education collectives rather than their structural diversity. This article seeks to address this gap by typologising education collectives in China. We map the landscape of education collectives, illuminating how school-to-school collaboration and education collectivisation have been promoted and operationalised in China. To achieve this, we employ the metaphor of traditional Chinese landscape painting as a methodological tool. Through this, we promote a deeper understanding of the cultural and psychological roots of school-to-school collaboration in China. We conceptualise education collectives from three perspectives inspired by the features of landscape painting: power relations, legal status, and external institutional engagement. These three dimensions also illuminate the homogeneity, exclusion and unsustainability that the education collective may encounter in their development process. This typology places education collectives within the broader policy context of Chinese basic education and system reform and offers insights into the diversity of network and partnership structures among inter-school collaborations.

Children Left Behind: An Implementation Analysis of Migrant Childrens Education Reform in China

In 2001, the Decisions on Basic Education Reform and Development were issued by the Chinese State Council, against a backdrop of increasing rural-to-urban migration. The Decisions and subsequent policies initiated a decade of reform to improve migrant childrens access to urban public schools. This case study examines why a significant proportion of migrant children still receive no public education in cities despite laws and legislations that promise otherwise. Since the policy implementation process in China is rather opaque, this paper complements the analysis of secondary literature with insights from two interviews with local policy implementers. By examining the organizational structure, central-local dynamics, and street-level actors of the migrant education reform, this paper concludes that the migrant education policies suffer from partial implementation because of: (1) an informal organizational structure with little enforcements mechanisms or oversight; (2) misalignment of interest between the central and local government, and (3) gatekeeping mechanisms that street-level bureaucrats use to ration services. This study is important for shedding light on the organizational structure of policy implementation and identifying the reasons for the failure of ambitious policy objectives to deliver the intended outcome in China.

Exploring Chinese Students’ Learning Burden Reduction Policy: a Historical Policy Analysis

Abstract The student learning burden reduction policy has always been a key field concerning national education development and it is also a highly debated field in recent years. For the period of improving physical fitness, since the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, the Directive on Reducing the Excessive Burden on Primary and Secondary Schools, which was the first policy document specifically aimed at reducing the burden on students, marked that the formulation of the policy of reducing the burden in China was on the right track. For the one-sided pursuit of enrollment rate period, the comprehensive restoration and reorganization of educational work was gradually carried out. To boost economic development with talents, the country has focused on improving the teaching level and quality of schools at all levels. For period for improving the quality of education, the 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed that schools at all levels should improve the quality of education. For the period of curriculum reform of basic education, the international situation was changing rapidly, science and technology were constantly iterating, and knowledge economy became the hot spot.

A Practical Exploration of the Holistic Module Learning Model

The holistic module learning model was initially developed by the Shandong 271 Education Group as part of their efforts to reform classroom instruction. With the progress of basic education reform in China, the model has evolved into a pedagogical approach that prioritizes student-centered learning and teacher-guided instruction, with the goal of nurturing students’ self-development and exploratory skills. Furthermore, the productivity of this approach has been demonstrated through experiments conducted by various schools across the nation. This study provided a concise overview of the historical development of the model and demonstrated its core elements and implementation strategies through its application in Chinese courses. The aim was to offer valuable insights into holistic module learning for the basic education community.

Teaching the Big Concept of Chemistry in the Context of China's Basic Education Reform

In the eighth curriculum reform, China proposed to develop students' core literacy in disciplines, aiming to explore what kind of teaching mode and means can cultivate outstanding talents through Chinese school education, and emphasize the emphasis on the teaching of major concepts of disciplines to make the curriculum content structured. The teaching of major concepts is highly abstract and generalized, which can help students establish a knowledge structure system and promote the transfer and application of knowledge. This paper takes the knowledge of galvanic batteries as the carrier and the question of "why can the fan rotate" as the driving force, forms a cognitive model, and puts forward a unit teaching led by a large concept from the perspective of energy conversion, so that students can better understand the galvanic battery model and apply it to life, so as to promote the development of students' core literacy.

Protocol-Guided Teaching: An Experiment in Chinese Basic Education

In this model, the teacher plays an essential guiding role, and the main objective is the development of the student’s autonomous learning ability. The purpose of this article is to increase interest in and conversations about the protocol-guided teaching model among educational professionals by describing the history of the approach, summarizing its features, and highlighting its implementation tactics.

The Education of Nature of Science in the Internet Era

Modern science and technology can not only promote social development for the benefit of mankind but may also cause catastrophic consequences if improperly employed. They are the two sides of the same coin. Science education plays an increasingly important role in the rapidly developing human society. With the rise of new educational strategies in the “internet plus education” era, the education of nature of science (NOS) exhibits its significant value in contemporary primary science curricula (Zhu & Yu, 2008). Science is not about conclusive truth. The history of science has witnessed numerous controversial issues which often sparked intense debate. The introduction of socio-scientific issues (SSI) to science education allows students to experience the process of scientific development. NOS education concerning scientific questioning, experimentation, and investigation and the establishment of scientific laws and theories as well as their application is of great significance to the development of teaching philosophy and methods in pre-service primary school teachers (Liu, 2003). It also poses new requirements and challenges in the reform of basic education in the internet era.

Educational Practice Outside the System: Exploring the Legalization Dilemma of Chinese-styled Homeschooling

Meeting the increasingly unique and different educational requirements of people has become a genuine problem for education in all countries as society develops and advances. The growth of alternative educational approaches globally is an investigation of this topic, and China's basic education reform urgently needs to learn from the positive experiences of the rest of the world. In recent years, the phenomenon of "home schooling" has quietly emerged in mainland China, but the ensuing issue of the legality and legitimacy of "home schooling" has attracted widespread attention. This paper analyses the legality and legitimacy of home schooling on the basis of the right to education and national legislation, and offers suggestions for the future legalisation of home schooling in China from both legal and policy perspectives, with a view to benefiting basic education in China.

Construction of Multimedia English Teaching Resource Base Based on K-Means Clustering Algorithm

Because of the explosive development of the Internet today, network education resources are becoming more and more valuable, and so is the rapid development of the information teaching environment. Let us pay more attention to the construction of teaching resources. In order to help schools improve the quality of teaching and promote the reform of basic education in China, the teaching resource bank must be enriched in connotation and perfect in function. However, the current teaching database is still facing some difficulties in the construction process, such as insufficient information, and database content structure relative disorder. In fact, the progress of computer technology is likely to help overcome the above difficulties, but there are still some problems in the construction process of the current teaching resource database, such as the connotation of teaching resources is not full, the organization structure of the content of the education resource database is relatively messy. The development of computer technology is likely to help solve the above problems. Therefore, the research on constructing the service system using computer technology has become a very key and hot topic today. Based on the current situation of resource library construction and the classification and summary of some technical problems, the author of this study puts forward a set of methods and procedures for the construction of a multimedia English teaching resource library. An improved hybrid clustering algorithm ISPO + K-means was proposed to integrate PSO and K-means. Compared with other algorithms, the algorithm clustering results are better. Based on this process, this study can automatically sort and classify the collected learning resources, reduce the consumption of manpower and material resources, and improve the service efficiency of the resource library. The purpose of this study is to find the methods that can use information technology to serve the construction of a multimedia English teaching resource bank, hoping to provide a valuable reference for the related research on the construction of teaching resource bank.

Development and Utilization of English Online Course Resources Based on Fuzzy Neural Network

Since the reform and development, after decades of changes in the times, China’s basic education reform has been promoted several times, and the degree of information technology in the campus will become one of the important factors for parents to choose this school or not. From digital projectors since 2003 to multimedia-assisted English teaching nowadays, it is evident that online English teaching has become an important part of today’s English online resources, but most of the English online resources nowadays are developed by professional research institutions, which leads to a situation where online English curriculum resources are not closely connected to the actual English teaching mode, and more importantly, there is a lack of online English course resources and they are outdated. In the new curriculum reform requirements, the development and utilization of English online resources are clearly pointed out, which shows the importance of developing and utilizing English online course resources and the need to develop in the direction of innovation and modernity, and the need to consider combining the development and utilization of English online course resources with modern technological progress, not only at the theoretical level but also at the practical level. English is a comprehensive and practical language that needs to be used and reinforced by users in order for them to be able to communicate and express their thoughts in English. In this paper, we adopt a fuzzy neural network approach and a gradient descent algorithm to address the shortcomings of current English online course resource development and utilization, and adopt an averaging process for weight updates, and then realize the control of the number of fuzzy rules by adding pooling operations. The experimental results show that this paper can effectively develop English online resources.

The Construction of Middle School Chemistry Efficient Classrooms Under the Background of New Curriculum Reform in China

From 1949 to the present, China's basic education has undergone eight curriculum reforms. The “Outline of China's Education Reform and Development ”issued in June 1994 clearly put forward the concept of quality education, and "quality education" has become the main theme of curriculum reform. In 2022, a new round of curriculum reform vigorously implemented the policy of "core literacy" and comprehensively cultivating high-quality talents. Quality education and high-efficiency classroom teaching research to comprehensively promote core literacy education have been paid more and more attention by the majority of researchers. The revised two-dimensional framework of the theory of Bloom's classification of educational objectives is helpful to build an efficient classroom and cultivate students' high-level thinking. In combination with the teaching practice under the background of basic education reform, this study discusses the construction methods and strategies of high-efficiency chemistry classroom in Middle School under the theory of Bloom's classification of educational objectives.

Psychology Education Reform and Quality Cultivation of College Music Major From the Perspective of Entrepreneurship Education.

With the continuous development of the times, music education in primary and secondary schools is constantly innovating in terms of teaching concepts, teaching methods, and implementation methods. The reform of basic music education has aroused the reflection of music teacher education in colleges and universities, and the talent training model of music teachers has become a hot issue that has been widely concerned in the new era. To explore the educational significance and influencing factors of entrepreneurship education in college music education and examine the mediating role of self-efficacy and gender adjustment in entrepreneurial education, based on the analysis of music education and entrepreneurial talent training in colleges and universities, a questionnaire survey, statistics, and data processing were adopted in this work. In this work, a path model was established based on the mediating effect and the moderating effect, and the equation model was tested. The results show that music education has a positive correlation with entrepreneurial self-efficacy and a negative correlation with entrepreneurial intention, which has not been proved to have a certain effect on entrepreneurial intention. Entrepreneurial self-efficacy has a positive correlation with entrepreneurial intention, and the mediating effect between music professional education and entrepreneurial intention has also been proved. Since there are gender differences and certain stereotypes that cannot be ignored in music education learning, gender adjustment also has a certain influence on entrepreneurial self-efficacy based on music professional education, thereby having a moderating effect on entrepreneurial intentions. Entrepreneurship education can improve the comprehensive competitiveness of students. As a result, entrepreneurship education can improve the innovation and entrepreneurship education model and the music education system in colleges and universities by combining with the relationship between entrepreneurial efficacy and intention, and it contributes to the overall cultivation of talent in colleges and universities.
