Exploring Interest Formation in English Learning through XploreRAFE+: A Gamified AR Mobile App

The use of gamification and AR technology is found to have the capacity to enhance students’ interest. In this study, the researchers chose a class in a vocational college in China as a specific case that used the gamified AR mobile application, called XploreRAFE+. This study aimed to explore the use of XploreRAFE+ in the formation of learners’ interest in order to answer the research question: What is the process of interest formation among vocational college students in a gamified AR environment, and how does it sustain students’ motivation in learning English? The data for the study were collected via observations, interviews, and document analysis. The findings of the study indicated that in a gamified AR environment, vocational college students’ interest was triggered by piquing curiosity. This then led to optimal learning experiences, where eventually the students began to have positive perceptions of English lessons and were motivated to extend learning experience on their own. These three components of interest formation formed a dynamic loop where interest formation was developed in a cyclical process. It is proposed that a cyclical formation of interest developed through a gamified AR environment over time could sustain learners’ motivation.

How to Improve Entrepreneurship Education in "Double High-Level Plan" Higher Vocational Colleges in China.

Entrepreneurship education complements vocational education in helping students develop their career prospects. This empirical study comprehensively analyzed sample data of 13,885 students from 40 “Double High-level Plan” higher vocational colleges in China using robust standard error regression analysis and other methods. The results showed that Entrepreneurship Practice (EP), Entrepreneurship Curriculum (EC), and Integration of Entrepreneurship Education and Professional Education (IEEPE) have a significant positive effect on Entrepreneurship Education Performance (EEP), with EP being the most important factor. Furthermore, ascribed factors (gender, household registration, only child or not, whether parents have entrepreneurial experience) and self-achieved factors (double high-level type, school area, subject major, whether to accept social entrepreneurship education) were found to affect students' perception of investment in entrepreneurship education. The study summarizes the existing problems of entrepreneurship education in “Double High-level Plan” higher vocational colleges and proposes four suggestions: pursue the integrated development of entrepreneurship education and “Double High-level” construction, advance both theoretical education and practical education, promote digital reform of the “three teaches” (teachers, teaching materials, and teaching methods), and develop entrepreneurship education in a comprehensive and balanced manner. This has certain theoretical and practical significance for the improvement of entrepreneurship education in other developing countries.

Understanding preservice music teachers’ intention to remain in the profession: An integrated model of the theory of planned behaviour and motivation theory

Music teacher attrition represents a serious educational concern, especially among preservice music teachers due to their lack of sufficient occupational identity and commitment. However, factors influencing their decisions on remaining in/leaving the profession are not well understood. This study proposed and empirically tested a psychological decision model by integrating the theory of planned behaviour and motivation theory to explain preservice music teachers’ intention to remain in the profession. Questionnaires were administrated to 218 preservice music teachers from vocational colleges in China. The results showed that the integrated model could explain 78% of the variance in behavioural intention. Attitude, subjective norm and intrinsic motivation were identified as significant antecedents for preservice music teachers’ intention to remain in the profession, while perceived behavioural control and extrinsic motivation exerted indirect impacts on behavioural intention through mediating roles of intrinsic motivation and attitude. The findings provide important implications for the design of effective policies and strategies to attract and keep preservice music teachers in the profession.

Research on the Development and Promotion Strategies of Diversified Professional Development Based on Computer Network Technology

With the progress and development of the society, the society needs more computer network talents to adapt to the development of the society. However, due to the disadvantages of various aspects of development, the network computer talents trained by colleges and universities cannot meet the market demand, resulting in the employment difficulties of some students. The main reason is that many colleges and universities cannot meet the needs of society. At present, great changes have taken place in the general education model and discipline model of vocational education in China, and new attempts have been made to combine work with study, production with teaching in practice. The existing experience shows that school-enterprise cooperation is the only way for the reform and development of secondary vocational schools.

Gender ideologies of youth in post-socialist China: their gender-role attitudes, antecedents, and socio-psychological impacts

In dialogue with the new gender ideology “egalitarian essentialism” which reveals uneven transformation of gender equity in public and private spheres, this study looks into the nuanced gender ideologies among Chinese youth, their antecedents and socio-psychological impacts on the young people. We apply latent class analysis to data on gender-role attitudes that were collected in 12 vocational colleges in China (N = 4,793). The three gender ideology profiles that we identify—egalitarian, essentialist, and neutral groups—demonstrate an alternative version of “egalitarian essentialism” in post-socialist China which highlights that a continuation of egalitarian attitudes in families co-exists with a growth of essentialist attitudes in employment. Furthermore, multivariate analysis shows that the three gender ideology profiles are structured primarily by sex and socio-economic backgrounds. We also find that the gender ideologies contribute to the prediction of the youth’s subjective well-being, especially their future expectations and psychological distress—the relations that have been under-researched in previous studies in China.

Understanding vocational accounting students’ attitudes towards sustainable development

ABSTRACT The goal of this study was twofold: firstly, to investigate vocational accounting students’ attitudes towards sustainable development; secondly, to explore the influence of students’ professional scepticism on their attitudes towards sustainable development. We surveyed 363 accounting students enrolled in a vocational college in China. We found that students had the most favourable attitudes towards the educational dimension of sustainable development and the least favourable attitudes towards the social dimension. Female students had significantly more favourable attitudes towards the environmental and educational dimensions of sustainable development, as compared to male students. Students at higher academic levels had significantly more favourable attitudes towards the educational dimension of sustainable development, as compared to students at lower academic levels. We also found that the questioning mind dimension of professional scepticism played the largest role in fostering the students’ favourable attitudes towards sustainable development, followed by the search for knowledge and interpersonal understanding dimensions, then by the suspension of judgement, self-confidence, and self-determining dimensions. The results of this study provide insights for educators to improve the accounting curriculum in vocational higher education in China.
