What is Artificial Intelligence (AI) Competency: Essence, Composition and Evaluation Systems Baichang Zhong, Xiaofan Liu, Minghuan Yang Journal of East China Normal University(Educational Sciences)    2024, 42 (1): 71-84.   DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5560.2024.01.005 Abstract （1577）   HTML （102）    PDF （845KB）（1536）       Knowledge map    The ChatGPT has both positive and negative effects on education. The field of education should consider not only how to empower students to meet the challenges posed by AI, but also how to develop students’ competency to adapt to AI. In this paper, we refer to this competency as AI competency, i.e., the core competency of students with both domain specificity and domain generality cultivated through AI education. AI competency is a new competency arising from the development of AI technology. Technology ontology, philosophical epistemology and educational psychology are interconnected to understand the essence and composition of AI competency. From the perspective of technology ontology, this paper analyzes the essence of AI competency-the technicalization of human beings. From the perspective of philosophical epistemology and educational psychology, this paper analyzes the composition of AI competency. Key competency development is essentially a dynamic transformation process of “knowledge and thinking”. Affectivity, as a knowledge-derived emotional experience, not only nourishes the process of knowledge construction and thinking development, but also serves as the foundation and source for acquiring moral conceptions. Thus, the interplay of knowledge, affectivity and thinking underpins the logic of students’ AI competency. In this vein, this paper constructs an evaluation system of AI competency based on three dimensions: AI knowledge, AI affectivity, and AI thinking.

Expectation and Reality: An Analysis of Pay Level and Pay Mix of University Staff in China Yongmei Hu, Ping Zhao, Jing Yuan Journal of East China Normal University(Educational Sciences)    2024, 42 (1): 24-40.   DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5560.2024.01.002 Abstract （748）   HTML （63）    PDF （921KB）（954）       Knowledge map    In order to find out the problems and then provide empirical basis for the reform of pay system of Chinese university staff, the current study analyzes the actual and expected pay level and pay mix of Chinese university staff by using administrative data and large-scale micro survey data, and draws the following conclusions. The pay level of Chinese university staffs is relatively competitive in China, but it is not internationally competitive enough. The annual pay and its components of most staff are lower than the average, and the pay expectation of the vast majority of staffs is higher than the actual pay. The proportion of the base pay of university staff in the monthly pay is low, and it is lower than their expectation. The proportion of faculties in the “Double First-Class” universities and staff in the eastern regions expecting salary increases is significantly higher than that of other staff. Based on the above research findings, the study proposes three suggestions on raising pay level and optimizing pay mix to facilitate the reform of pay system of Chinese university faculty.

Theoretical Foundations and Practical Strategies of Developing Creative Talent David Yun Dai Journal of East China Normal University(Educational Sciences)    2024, 42 (1): 1-23.   DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5560.2024.01.001 Abstract （1035）   HTML （95）    PDF （917KB）（907）       Knowledge map    The nurturing of creative talent is a significant and urgent matter. However, what constitutes creative talent, and how to identify and educate them-these issues still await good theoretical answers and practical guidance. This article is intended to address human creative potential in terms of how it develops and leads to creative accomplishments, and how educational and social interventions can be designed accordingly to identify, nurture, and culturally support the development of creative productivity. For the nature of creative talent, the article identifies five types of innovations and three types of creative talent. For identification, it is proposed that identification should be more dynamic and developmentally responsive. For nurturing creativity, a three-phase developmental and domain-specific approach is proposed. For cultural support, several issues are brought up as to what constitutes a creativity-friendly culture. Finally, the article proposes a set of five strategic considerations for implementing such a practical agenda, and for guiding policy, the article suggests four principles to follow, as well as precaution for conceptual traps that might hinder this line of work.

The Vitality of Teachers and Positive Teacher-student Relationships: A Study on the Emotional Transmission Effect Wei Yan, Zhongying Shi, Kaiping Peng Journal of East China Normal University(Educational Sciences)    2024, 42 (3): 78-86.   DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5560.2024.03.007 Abstract （716）   HTML （46）    PDF （742KB）（870）       Knowledge map    In recent years, the emotional interactions between teachers and students in the classroom have garnered increasing attention. Drawing from the vitality theory, this study posited that the vitality of teachers might enhance students’ vitality and foster positive teacher-student relationship via emotional transmission effect, specifically through students’ perception of teacher enthusiasm. This hypothesis was empirically examined with a sample of 2,386 Chinese middle school students and 76 headteachers. Data on student and teacher vitality, students’ perception of teacher enthusiasm, and positive teacher-student relationship were collected using questionnaires. A chain mediation model was established and evaluated. Results showed that teacher vitality directly predicts positive teacher-student relationship. The relationship is underpinned by the mediators of students’ perception of teacher enthusiasm and student vitality, and by the chain mediating effect of the two. In essence, when teachers demonstrate energy, enthusiasm, and vitality in their teaching, they are more likely to transmit this passion to their students. This, in turn, fosters more positive teacher-student relationships. These findings have significant implications for bolstering educational vitality, enhancing the mental health of teachers and students, and cultivating positive teacher-student relationships.

First Report on the Development of Chinese Adolescents’ Social and Emotional Skills: Based on the Second Round of SSES Data Zhenguo Yuan, Zhongjing Huang, Hong Wang, Xiangyu Wang, Jing Zhang Journal of East China Normal University(Educational Sciences)    2024, 42 (5): 1-32.   DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5560.2024.05.001 Abstract （501）   HTML （71）    PDF （4355KB）（796）       Knowledge map    This report analyzes data from the Survey on Social and Emotional Skills for the 10- and 15-year-old groups of students in Jinan City, China, and finds that students in the 10-year-old group scored higher than students in the 15-year-old group in all 16 social and emotional skills. In the 10-year-old group, boys scored higher than girls in all social and emotional skills except responsibility and achievement motivation, where the top three skills with the greatest differences were curiosity, creativity, and emotional control. In the 15-year-old group, girls scored higher than boys on responsibility, empathy, and tolerance, with empathy being the top one with the largest difference. Boys scored higher than girls in all other social and emotional skills, with the top three skills with the greatest differences being stress resistance, emotional control, and curiosity. The social and emotional skills of the advantaged students were higher than those of the disadvantaged group. There is no significant difference in social and emotional skills between general secondary school students and vocational secondary school students. In the 15-year-old group, private school students were slightly higher than public school students in engaging with the others and open-mindedness, while the results were reversed in other skills. Optimism was by far the skill most closely related to health behaviors, body image, life satisfaction, satisfaction with relationships, and current psychological well-being. Emotional control and stress resistance were most closely related to students’ test and class anxiety. Task performance, especially achievement motivation and perseverance, as well as curiosity were strongly associated with better student performance in Chinese, Math, and Arts. Notably, 15-year-old girls benefited more than boys from social and emotional skills, while 10-year-old boys benefited more than girls from social and emotional skills. The relationships between body image, health behaviors, satisfaction with relationships, current psychological well-being, and most of the skills were stronger for advantaged than that for disadvantaged students. Advantaged students tended to participate in more career development activities than disadvantaged students. Students with higher social and emotional skills, especially those with higher levels of creativity and curiosity, engaged in more career development activities. Girls and advantaged pupils tend to be more ambitious about their future education and careers than boys and disadvantaged pupils. Students with high levels of open-mindedness and task performance have higher future educational aspirations and career ambitions. Table and Figures | Reference | Related Articles | Metrics

The Impact of Family Socioeconomic Status on Students’ Social and Emotional Skills: The Serial Mediation Role of Growth Mindset and Test and Class Anxiety Zhi Liu, Jia Li, Chenxi Liang Journal of East China Normal University(Educational Sciences)    2024, 42 (5): 83-98.   DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5560.2024.05.005 Abstract （334）   HTML （43）    PDF （1097KB）（680）       Knowledge map    Based on the data from the OECD Survey on Social and Emotional Skills conducted in Jinan in 2023, this study focuses on the impact of family socioeconomic status on students’ social and emotional skills. It explores the mediating mechanisms through which growth mindset and test and class anxiety influence this relationship. The findings indicate that: (1) both family socioeconomic status and growth mindset have a significant positive effect on students’ social and emotional skills, while test and class anxiety has a significant negative effect; (2) growth mindset plays a significant positive mediating role, meaning that family socioeconomic status positively promotes students’ social and emotional skills through the mediation of growth mindset; (3) test and class anxiety, as a mediator, shows a significant negative mediating effect, suggesting that family socioeconomic status can adversely affect students’ social and emotional skills through the mediation of test and class anxiety; (4) the study further reveals a significant positive serial mediation effect between growth mindset and test and class anxiety, indicating that family socioeconomic status affects students’ growth mindset, which in turn regulates their level of test and class anxiety, ultimately exerting a comprehensive impact on their social and emotional skills. Based on empirical discussions, this study proposes three suggestions for enhancing the development of student’s social and emotional skills. Firstly, schools should provide more resources and platforms to support students from lower socioeconomic backgrounds. Secondly, establish a path mechanism for cultivating growth mindset with schools as the main battlefield system. Thirdly, promote collaboration between home and school to address the issue of test and class anxiety among adolescents jointly. Table and Figures | Reference | Related Articles | Metrics

Research on Teachers’ Emotion Regulation: The Shift from Individual Orientation to Interpersonal Orientation Wenlan Wang, Wenyan Jiang, Hongbiao Yin Journal of East China Normal University(Educational Sciences)    2024, 42 (7): 77-88.   DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5560.2024.07.007 Abstract （276）   HTML （21）    PDF （771KB）（607）       Knowledge map    Interpersonal interactions are the foundation and center of teachers’ work. Therefore, educational activities are full of the flow of emotions, and emotions permeate and pervade teachers’ daily work. Due to its multi-disciplinary nature, the research on teachers’ emotion regulation has evolved three typical approaches, namely, emotion regulation, emotional labor, and emotional management. However, these three approaches demonstrate a notable individualistic inclination, and lack the adequate attention to the interpersonal characteristics and dynamic processes of emotion regulation. In the past decade, the international literature on emotion regulation has emerged a shift from an individual orientation to an interpersonal orientation. Gradually, the interpersonal-oriented emotion regulation research has experienced the stages of germination and formation. The emerging field of interpersonal emotion regulation has developed some theoretical models and measurement tools that have been applied in various disciplines. It is valuable for the researchers to further strengthen the interpersonal-oriented teacher emotion regulation research because of the interpersonal characteristics of teachers’ work and the recent perspective shift in emotion regulation research. In future, when applying and adjusting the cutting-edge theories to educational research, researchers who are interested in teachers’ emotion regulation need to pay enough attention to the issues of cultural differences and contextual adaptations.

A Study on the Current Situation and Influencing Factors of Students’Labor Literacy in Primary Schools in China Xiaojie Wang, Naiqing Song Journal of East China Normal University(Educational Sciences)    2024, 42 (2): 78-91.   DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5560.2024.02.006 Abstract （767）   HTML （57）    PDF （879KB）（586）       Knowledge map    Through the analysis of the data of 156,050 students in primary schools and 100,039 parents in 24 provinces in China, we found that student’s labor literacy is generally good, but there is still room for improvement,in particular,the “unity of knowledge and practice” of students’ labor, students’ concept of labor honor and disgrace, students’ willingness to housework, students’ labor creativity, students’ labor time, students’ labor initiative, students’ refined labor capacity need to be improved. The labor concept of urban pupils is significantly better than that of rural pupils; the labor capacity of pupils in the west is significantly higher than that of pupils in the central and east China; the labor participation of girls is significantly better than that of boys, and the labor capacity of third graders is significantly lower than that of fourth, fifth and sixth graders. Also,the number and types of labor courses and activities in school, special places and teachers of labor education, parents’ labor education concept, attitudes and participation have a positive impact on students’ labor literacy, among them, the types of school labor education courses and activities, and parents’ attitudes towards labor education have a greater impact. Being only child family, having a nanny care has a negative impact on students’ labor literacy, but the impact is relatively small. Accordingly, we put forward countermeasures and suggestions from the aspects of changing educational ideas, improving course content, optimizing teaching methods, paying attention to characteristic development, perfecting the coordination mechanism, and strengthening the condition guarantee.

Cultural Capital and Educational Attainment: Exploration and Innovation in China’s Context Xiulan Yu Journal of East China Normal University(Educational Sciences)    2024, 42 (6): 20-37.   DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5560.2024.06.003 Abstract （396）   HTML （16）    PDF （979KB）（577）       Knowledge map    With regard to the study of cultural capital and educational attainment in China’s context, scholars have not only verified Bourdieu’s theory, but also expanded it due to the inadequacy of the theory being too “French” and “static”. Scholars have explored concepts such as “underclass cultural capital”, and added new indicators to the specific measurement of the concept of cultural capital. They have verified the effect of cultural capital, especially explored the context factors that regulate the influence of cultural capital on education attainment, such as social context, exam-oriented education system, cultural traditions, and changes of times. As for the mechanism of cultural capital affecting education attainment, they have found the mechanism of cultural identification in addition to the exclusion of highbrow culture. The problems in the existing research are mainly reflected in the confusion in the measurement of the concept of cultural capital, the rigid application of cultural capital theory and the lack of innovative research based on the local situation in China. In the future, we need to further define the boundary of the concept of cultural capital and find out the characteristics and mechanisms of cultural capital in China’s context and in the changing times.

The Status, Problems and Solutions of the Base Salary System for Faculty in Chinese Universities: From the Perspectives of Security and Incentive Function Ping Zhao, Yongmei Hu Journal of East China Normal University(Educational Sciences)    2024, 42 (1): 41-57.   DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5560.2024.01.003 Abstract （406）   HTML （25）    PDF （1236KB）（515）       Knowledge map    Promoting the reform of university faculty’ salary system is an important means to improve the qualifications of university faculties. The base salary system should be brought into theoretical discussion and practical reform because of its dual functions of security and incentive for university faculty. Based on relevant policies, administrative data and universities faculty’ salaries survey data, this study analyzes the implementation of the university faculty’ base salary system in China. We find that the base salary system has some problems, such as centralized management, inconsistency between basic salary level and local economic development level, low starting point, low proportion of base salary, inconsistency between the design of salary grade and the law of salary management, and failure of salary adjustment to achieve policy expectations, which inhibits security and incentive effect of base salary. In view of the above problems, combined with the salary management theory, the following policy implications are proposed. Firstly, the human resources and social security departments of central government should establish a unified national base salary system for university faculty, and the provincial government should formulate an overall base salary scale. Secondly, the minimum of base salary of university faculty and the base salary of faculties in developed provinces should be raised moderately to ensure their actual purchasing power. Thirdly, simplify the elements of university faculty’ salary and gradually increase the proportion of base salary. Fourthly, improve the grade difference of the base salary at each post level, and adjust the floating range of the base salary to enhance the medium and long-term incentive effect on faculties. Finally, the adjustment of base salary scale should take into account its proportion in total salary and its grade, and ensure that the increase of base salary and the proportion of base salary in total salary are reasonable.

Strengthen Replication of Educational Quantitative Research in China Yi Li, Jianqing Zhang, Yanling Yang Journal of East China Normal University(Educational Sciences)    2023, 41 (11): 85-96.   DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5560.2023.11.007 Abstract （300）   HTML （21）    PDF （949KB）（506）       Knowledge map    In this study, the principle of replication, replication of research and repeated research were discriminated theoretically. Then it discussed three types of repeated research (exact, direct and conceptual) and two functions (validation and extension) and elaborated the meaning and value of replication. Based on that, this study took the repeated quantitative research published in 37 educational CSSCI journals from 2015 to 2020 as samples to analyze the current situation and the problems of replication for the educational quantitative research in China. The study found that it is not fully recognized that replication is the basic position of innovative research; the undeveloped foundation of quantitative research leads to the difficulty in conducting repeated researches; the failure of replication is misunderstood, which leads to the panic of ‘replication crisis’; the traditional thinking inertia hinders the original research teams to continue their original research interest. Accordingly, the study presented the following suggestions: reinforce understanding of the value of repeated research, establish incentive mechanism of repeated research; strengthen training of researchers in quantitative research methods, build an open science platform to turn the ‘black box’ into the ‘white box; overcome the stereotype of “success rate only”, build a stable research team to follow up and form research clusters.

The Practical Characteristics, Difficulties and Cooperative Ways of Teacher Subjects in Children’s Transition from Kindergarten to Primary School: An Empirical Investigation of Kindergarten and Primary School Teachers from 11 Provinces and Cities Jin Huang, Fang Tian, Hui Qiao, Meng Zhang, Chang Yu Journal of East China Normal University(Educational Sciences)    2023, 41 (11): 1-12.   DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5560.2023.11.001 Abstract （554）   HTML （61）    PDF （1189KB）（505）       Knowledge map    The transition from kindergarten to primary school is a critical period for children to adapt to society and future education. Kindergarten teachers and primary school teachers are important participants to ensure effective two-way coordination and support the smooth transition. Based on the perspective of multi subjects’ collaborative participation in the transition practices, this study investigates the transition beliefs and practice of kindergarten and primary school teachers. Participants were 9,872 kindergarten teachers and 7,411 primary school teachers from 11 provinces and cities. The findings revealed that there were conflicts in the belief and understanding of transition to school between kindergarten and primary school teachers, and there was inconsistency in the organization and implementation of curriculum and teaching. They faced such practical difficulties as weak belief in cooperation, low implementation rate of cooperation, limited external support, and insufficient internal understanding. These findings highlight that it should promote the coordination of kindergarten and primary school teachers to support the smooth transition of children in such aspects as establishing a consensus on two-way coordination based on children’s position, realizing the continuity of curriculum and teaching, building an interactive platform and forming a supportive guarantee system.

Research on the Adaptability Model of Senior High School Teachers under the Background of New College Entrance Examination: From the Perspective of Personal-environmental Fit Theory Muzhou Li, Sixin Zeng Journal of East China Normal University(Educational Sciences)    2024, 42 (3): 26-37.   DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5560.2024.03.003 Abstract （322）   HTML （36）    PDF （796KB）（504）       Knowledge map    With the all-round progress of the new college entrance examination reform, senior high school teachers, as the practitioners of the new reform, are facing new problems and challenges in education and teaching, and the adaptive development of high school teachers has become a key factor for the effectiveness of the new reform. Based on the theory of personal-environment fit, this paper constructs an analysis model of teachers’ adaptability. The results show that high school teachers have a high overall evaluation of teachers’ adaptability development under the new college entrance examination. High school teachers of different genders, schools, degrees, professional titles and subjects have significant differences in their cognition of teachers’ adaptive development under the new college entrance examination. Stress adaptation has become the key factor to affect the adaptive development of high school teachers, and there is a positive and weak correlation between stress adaptation→knowledge adaptation, stress adaptation→organizational adaptation. Under the background of the new reform, we should promote the adaptive development of high school teachers, set up the idea of life-long learning, and enhance the knowledge adaptation of high school teachers. Also, it's important to optimize the teacher evaluation mechanism, enhance the pressure adaptability of high school teachers, strengthen digital technology to empower and enhance the organizational adaptability of high school teachers. We should attach importance to college entrance examination reform and enhance the goal adaptability of high school teachers. Table and Figures | Reference | Related Articles | Metrics

Metaverse in Education: Position Every Child Real Experience in the New World Xiaoqing Gu, Ping Wan, Gong Wang Journal of East China Normal University(Educational Sciences)    2023, 41 (11): 13-26.   DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5560.2023.11.002 Abstract （484）   HTML （40）    PDF （735KB）（492）       Knowledge map    Metaverse attracted attention in the field of education, but there is still a lack of rational understanding. Therefore, it is necessary to rethink about the real meaning of metaverse and its educational value. Metaverse is the existence that connects the real world you are currently in with other different time and space, through which you can enter the real situation of any time and space, and this is also the way for students to learn knowledge in the future. The Metaverse in education enriches the existence of knowledge, the depth of the learner’s learning experience and the scope of the true-life world, allowing students to directly experience the process of knowledge dissemination, knowledge construction, knowledge application, knowledge production and creation. At the same time, the process of interaction between learners and the situation affects the formation and development of human social knowledge, and the influence is fed back to the real-life world to promote the real occurrence of knowledge learning. On this basis, this research further explores the possible application scenarios of metaverse in education and analyzes the key technologies and potential educational value and risks.

Does the “Double Reduction” Policy Affect Parents’ Willingness to Have More Children: A Survey Based on 29 Provinces Across China Xiangmei Chen, Bentao Ning Journal of East China Normal University(Educational Sciences)    2024, 42 (6): 75-85.   DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5560.2024.06.007 Abstract （442）   HTML （56）    PDF （1058KB）（457）       Knowledge map    Family fertility willingness is related to the long-term balanced development of the population. Our country faces a risk of low fertility, and the phenomenon of low fertility has become the norm. Most studies focus on the impact of fertility policies on the population and ignore the influence of education policies. Based on a survey of 10,341 primary and secondary school parents in 29 provinces (cities, districts) across the country, the research used the propensity score matching method empirically to test the impact of the “Double Reduction” policy influence on parents’ willingness to have more children and its influencing mechanism. The results found that increasing parents’ recognition of the “Double Reduction” policy in primary and secondary schools can significantly increase parents willingness to have more children. Parents who endorse the “Double Reduction” policy have a higher effect on their willingness to have more children, with an average of 14.6% higher. This result shows that the positive externalities of the “Double Reduction” policy have spilled over to the field of population, and the policy has a positive impact on family reproduction plans. Family education expenditure and educational anxiety mediate the role between parents’ recognition of the policy and parents’ willingness to have more children. Therefore, parents in primary and secondary schools should further improve their awareness of the policy, continue to increase the implementation of the policy, strengthen policy supporting governance, implement multi-level policies in the fields of education and population and fertility, and comprehensively and effectively improve the national rejuvenation fertility desire.

Research on the Resource Allocation of Preschool Education in Urban and Rural Areas of China from 2021 to 2050 under the Three-child Policy Chen Huang, Ling Li Journal of East China Normal University(Educational Sciences)    2023, 41 (12): 113-126.   DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5560.2023.12.010 Abstract （278）   HTML （15）    PDF （1816KB）（453）       Knowledge map    Leslie matrix was used to establish a population prediction model. Based on the census data and a sampling survey of fertility intention, the population of urban and rural permanent residents of preschool education and the size of children in kindergartens, as well as the size of kindergartens, teachers, and total expenditure on preschool education in 2021-2050 were predicted. The results show that by 2035, after raising resource allocation standards, compared with 2020, 40,700 kindergartens will be built, while 1,0755,500 full-time teachers will be added and 909,200 child-care workers will be added, with an additional total expenditure of 365.211 billion yuan for preschool education. It is suggested to dynamically monitor the changes of school-aged population, scientifically distribute preschool education resources in advance, timely revise and adjust the supporting enrollment spaces of the residential population in urban and rural communities based on the consideration of urbanization process, rural revitalization strategy, COVID-19, implementation of the three-child policy and local realities, carry out follow-up inspection on the governance of supporting gardens in urban communities, construct supporting kindergartens in strict accordance with the standards, set up public kindergartens in remote rural areas where it is difficult to run kindergartens, explore the system of overall planning and adjustment of staffing to alleviate the pressure of shortage of preschool staffing, implement equal pay for equal work for irregular teachers, increase the teachers’ subsidies for working years, and strengthen provincial and municipal overall planning and improve the level of subjects guaranteeing financial investment in preschool education.

Framing the Research into Teacher Professional Learning Communities: Paradigms, Interests and Discourses Hongbiao Yin, Han Qin Journal of East China Normal University(Educational Sciences)    2024, 42 (3): 61-77.   DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5560.2024.03.006 Abstract （235）   HTML （24）    PDF （790KB）（435）       Knowledge map    Teacher professional learning communities is one of the major issues in the field of teacher professional development and teacher learning. With more than thirty years of development, establishing and developing teacher professional learning communities has been commonly recognized as an important strategy for enhancing teacher learning and improving school effectiveness in the educational policies and school reforms across the world. Accordingly, researchers have extensively examined teacher professional learning communities in different contexts. However, existing studies have rarely investigated the underlying values, epistemological interests, and inquiry intentions held by the research and practices of teacher professional learning communities. Drawing on Habermas’s theory of cognitive interests, we summarized the three inquiry paradigms (i.e., technical, practical, and critical paradigms) and six research discourses (i.e., restructuring, effectiveness, community, cultural, critical, and transformative discourses) in the existing research on teacher professional learning communities, and concluded the understandings of the nature of teacher professional learning communities, research emphases, and developments in each paradigm. Based on this paradigmatic analysis, we presented our attitudes towards various research paradigms, and outlined the directions for future research into teacher professional learning communities in each paradigm.

How Teachers Develop: A Depiction and Analysis Based on Experiential Learning Circle Theory Lu Wang, Ruxia Ma, Le Peng Journal of East China Normal University(Educational Sciences)    2024, 42 (2): 30-45.   DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5560.2024.02.003 Abstract （308）   HTML （39）    PDF （1564KB）（427）       Knowledge map    In order to comprehensively understand and promote the change of teachers, it is necessary to deeply portray the process of the change of teachers. This study used epistemic network analysis and cross-lagged analysis to analyze big data on classroom teaching behaviors and practical knowledge of 41 teachers who had participated in a complete experiential learning circle in the COP program for a total of 4 semesters over 2 years, and obtained the evolutionary patterns of teachers’ change based on the experiential learning circle. It was found that there was a definite causal relationship between the knowledge components of teachers’ practical knowledge, such as educational beliefs, reflective knowledge and self-knowledge, and key teaching behaviors related to innovative changes in teaching, such as teachers encouraging students to ask questions and teachers asking high-order thinking questions. The evolution of practical knowledge as an internal characteristic of the change of teachers went through three stages: competitive coexistence, synergistic complementation, and synergistic transformation, while the teaching behaviors of encouraging students to ask questions and asking higher-order thinking questions as external characteristics of the change of teachers went through a quantitative change process from less to more. Practical knowledge and classroom teaching behaviors together as the internal cause of teachers’ change were the basis of teachers’ change, while the big data evidence-based course research support services provided by university researchers were the external cause of teachers’ change and constituted the conditions for teachers’ change, and the external cause induced the change of teachers through the internal cause.

How School Education Contributes to the Social and Emotional Development of Students: A Study Based on Cluster Analysis Jing Zhang, Jie Zheng, Haili Cui, Lijun Zhang Journal of East China Normal University(Educational Sciences)    2024, 42 (5): 72-82.   DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5560.2024.05.004 Abstract （507）   HTML （48）    PDF （853KB）（421）       Knowledge map    This study focuses on five key school influencing factors perceived by students: student-classmate relationship, student-teacher relationship, teacher feedback, extra-curricular activities, and sense of belonging at school, and investigates how they collectively impact the social and emotional skills development of students. Utilizing data from the OECD's SSES2023 China survey, which includes a total of 7,648 students aged 10 and 15, we conducted a cluster analysis with the aforementioned five influencing factors as variables. By employing variance analysis and post-hoc tests, we uncovered differences in social and emotional competencies among student groups categorized by these factors. The study identifies five student clusters based on the perceived five school variables: School Satisfaction Group (students scoring high on all five school influencing factors), Social Advantage Group (students scoring high on student-classmate relationship, student-teacher relationship, and student-classmate relationship, student-teacher relationship), Diverse Interest Group (students scoring highest on extra-curricular activities), Feedback Proficient Group (students scoring high on teacher feedback), and School Support Group (students scoring lowest on all five school influencing factors). Among these, students in the School Satisfaction Group demonstrate the most outstanding performance in social and emotional skills, while the School Support Group exhibits the weakest performance. Furthermore, the Social Advantage Group, Diverse Interest Group, and Feedback Proficient Group show variations across different age groups and skill levels. This study not only provides robust data support for schools to conduct social and emotional skills but also offers empirical evidence for understanding the comprehensive influence of school factors on students' social and emotional skills development. It is of significant importance for guiding schools to formulate targeted teaching strategies and intervention measures, thus promoting students’ comprehensive and healthy development.
