Research Report on Employment Trends of Chinese College Graduates: Based on 2003—2021 Survey Data Changjun Yue, Qinxue Feng, Xiaojia Xin, Wenqi Qiu Journal of East China Normal University(Educational Sciences)    2023, 41 (9): 138-154.   DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5560.2023.09.010 Abstract （6909）   HTML （750）    PDF （853KB）（3260）       Knowledge map    Based on ten national survey data sets on Chinese college graduates’ employment status from 2003 to 2021, this paper conducts empirical analysis on employment characteristics and trend of Chinese college graduates. The main conclusions are as follows. First, from the perspective of graduation destination, the proportion of formal employment has reached a new low level, while the proportion of further education continues to rise. The placement rate has declined, and the unemployment rate has rebounded. The placement rates of graduates with different educational levels tends to converge. Second, from the perspective of employment quality, the higher the graduates’ education level, the higher the starting salary and the faster the salary grows. There is a L-shaped downward trend in relative starting salary. Nearly 50% of graduates have lower starting salaries than expected. Employment satisfaction is on a fluctuating upward trend. Third, from the perspective of employment structure, the employment proportion in large and medium-sized cities exceeds 80%. The employment proportion of private enterprises has jumped to first place. The employment proportion of enterprises increases at the beginning and then decreases, which exceeds 50%. Career types shift from homogenization towards diversification, then back to homogenization. The education industry has become the preferred choice for graduates. Fourth, from the perspective of employment matching, the proportion of education-job match first decreases and then increases, exceeding 70%. The proportion of major-job mismatch is about 40%. Fifth, from the perspective of job-searching status, schools are the main source of job-searching information. The number of job applications has not gradually increased over time, and some graduates have obtained job opportunities but do not accept. Expenses on human relationship, transportation and clothing are the three major job-searching expenses. Ability is the most important factor that affects employment outcomes. Graduates have stable career intentions, attaching importance to prospects and income. Table and Figures | Reference | Related Articles | Metrics

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 （1578）   HTML （102）    PDF （845KB）（1538）       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 （749）   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.

Colleges and Universities as the Subject in Enrolling Students QIN Chunhua Journal of East China Normal University(Educationa    2018, 36 (3): 99-114+169+170.   DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5560.2018.03.010 Abstract （202）   HTML （25）    PDF （1198KB）（1331）       Knowledge map    The new system of college entrance examination differs from the old one in that colleges and universities can act as the subject in enrolling students,This change from passive admission to active enrollment enables college admission criteria as a guideline to promote students' healthy growth. If admission agencies in colleges and universities cannot transform their functions and still enroll students based only on scores, the current "exam-oriented training" and "only test scores matter" will likely be further aggravated. And the pre-reform dead hand in admission may lead to more problems with grade assignment, the conversion and comparison of multiple calculation methods, equivalence and so on. On the other hand, if the admission agencies transform their duties by truly implementing the spirit of two basics and one reference, it is likely to achieve the goal of strengthening moral education and that problems like profit-seeking in the pilot reform can also be easily solved.

Determining Sample Size in Qualitative Research: Saturation, its Conceptualization, Operationalization and Relevant Debates Ailei Xie, Jiayi Chen Journal of East China Normal University(Educational Sciences)    2021, 39 (12): 15-27.   DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5560.2021.12.002 Abstract （2703）   HTML （492）    PDF （899KB）（3554）       Knowledge map    Saturation has become an important criterion to judge the quality of qualitative research and explain the rationality of sample size. This paper systematically and critically reviews the literature and introduces three types of saturation: theoretical saturation, thematical saturation and data saturation and points out that researchers should consider their own overall research design to decide which model to adopt. The paper also introduces three ways to record the process of saturation. Among them, the structural coding book is more suitable for recording deductive thematical saturation and data saturation. There are two types of saturation tables which are more suitable for recording a prior thematical saturation. The conceptual depth scale is particularly suitable for recording theoretical saturation. This paper points out that saturation is a process rather than an event. Quality rather than quantity is the key to understand saturation. Saturation itself should be a concrete methodology practice. Researchers should pay attention to the concept of saturation and make a clear statement of the process of achieving saturation, which can help to improve the standardization, transparency, quality and recognition of qualitative research.

The Impact and Psychic Mechanism of Media Violence on Children and their Aggressive Behavior XING Shu-Fen,WANG Dan-Yang,LIN Chong-De Journal of East China Normal University(Educationa    2015, 33 (3): 71-78.   DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5560.2015.03.010 Abstract （648）   HTML （1094）    PDF （548KB）（4805）       Knowledge map    With the prevalence of new medium and violent games, the relationship between media violence and aggressive behavior has become a research focus again. However, controversy still exists regarding the causal relationship between media violence and aggressive behavior, including two opposite theoretical models: General Aggressive Model and Catalyst Model. According to the General Aggressive Model, the effects of media violence on aggressive behavior involve short-term and long-term effect, with different psychic mechanisms. However, such factors as children’s personality, initial aggressive level, their recognition of the role and characteristics of the game will play a regulatory role. In this regard, future studies will be conducted using new paradigms and techniques, in order to reach a relatively consistent conclusion. Related Articles | Metrics

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.

Positive Psychology Applied among Schools in China Xi Juzhe, Ye Yang, Zuo Zhihong, Peng Yanan Journal of East China Normal University(Educational Sciences)    2019, 37 (6): 149-159.   DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5560.2019.06.014 Abstract （576）   HTML （134）    PDF （593KB）（1709）       Knowledge map    Since the 21st century, the influence of positive psychology has been growing in western countries, as well as in China. There were not only targeted experiments such as PRP and the Strath Haven Positive Psychology Curriculum, but also structural applied programs such as GGS model in western countries. Positive psychology exerts effects on Chinese school education, but the links between theory and practice could be closer. Based on the fundamental theories of positive psychology, the authors conceived an implementation framework of positive psychology among schools in China. Firstly, the school practice of positive psychology has three points, i.e., to utilize the three pillars of positive psychology, to translate the theories into practice, and to adhere to the concept of people-oriented. Accordingly, four strategies could be put into practice, including improving students' well-being during study, promoting their intrinsic motivation of learning, fully developing positive education, and focusing on the positive development of teachers. Finally, four practical approaches should be followed, i.e., replacing the traditional fixed education with strength-focused education advocated by positive psychology and positive education, attaching more importance to students' social practice and physical exercise, fostering teachers' empathy, and constructing a positive environment of school management. The primary and critical purpose to apply positive psychology in schools is to forster an education ecosystem facilitating positive construction. Reference | Related Articles | Metrics

Research on the Influence of “Double First-Class” Policy on the Quality of Undergraduate Students Jinlong Wang, Zhihui Wu Journal of East China Normal University(Educational Sciences)    2021, 39 (4): 64-72.   DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5560.2021.04.006 Abstract （125）   HTML （127）    PDF （1718KB）（906）       Knowledge map    Based on the ranking data of the best universities in China from 2016 to 2020, this paper analyzes the influence of “double first-class” policy on the source quality of undergraduates by using the single group time series experiment method in the interruptive time series quasi experiment method. It is found that there are great differences in the quality of students in “double first-class” universities, but the distribution is relatively stable. The “double first-class” policy has a certain impact on the quality of undergraduate students. 38 of Project 985 universities and 67 of Project 211 universities have further consolidated the advantage of high quality students. In addition, 3 of Project 211 universities have entered the list of first-class universities and 19 of non-Project 211 universities have entered the list of first-class disciplines and the quality of their students has improved to a certain extent. However, the quality of students in those colleges and universities with good quality but not in the list of “double first-class” construction shows a downward trend. This results from the continuity of government resource input, the orientation of social talent demand and the stability of the university’s own development.

Testing the “Thresholds” of High School Students’ Learning Motivation, Learning Pressure and Subjective Well-being: An Example of S Province in East China Tian Wang, Qimeng Liu, Haifeng Luo, Jian Liu Journal of East China Normal University(Educational Sciences)    2021, 39 (3): 59-70.   DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5560.2021.03.006 Abstract （179）   HTML （150）    PDF （929KB）（1366）       Knowledge map    High school students are generally believed not to enjoy a high level of physical and mental health and happiness due to the pressure of the College Entrance Examination. This phenomenon has attracted more and more attention from society, schools and families. Although many policies and measures for reducing burdens and stimulating students’ interest have already been implemented, they have not achieved the expected results, indicating that there may be more complicated relationships between learning motivation, learning pressure and subjective well-being than simple correlation. Using the online questionnaire to survey more than 14,000 high school students from a province in east China, the piecewise regression model (PRM) was used to explore the possible thresholds of learning motivation and learning pressure. The results show that learning motivation has more influence on students’ subjective well-being than learning pressure; and high school students with high learning motivation can feel the happiness of active learning. For high school students, it needs to be targeted to effectively improve the subjective well-being of students with higher learning pressure. Besides, it is necessary to focus on the academic development and healthy growth of high school students whose learning motivation and pressure are not up to standard.

The Quantitative Methods in Education Empirical Research in China: A Review on Five Years’ Application Lyu Jing Journal of East China Normal University(Educational Sciences)    2020, 38 (9): 36-55.   DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5560.2020.09.003 Abstract （540）   HTML （303）    PDF （1070KB）（1586）       Knowledge map    Since the “National Educational Empirical Research Forum” was first held in 2015, the application of quantitative methods in the field of education science in China has been popular. However, due to the limitation of research level and research environment, investigating the methodology of quantitative methods and applying quantitative methods in quantitative or mixed research are still a weak point in educational research in China. The academic community has not formed a comprehensive and objective understanding of the application of quantitative methods in education empirical research. Even though some scholars review the application of quantitative methods in education empirical research in China, they only describe and summarize the statistical data, and there is limited analysis on the specific problems with the application. Moreover, there is no correction for the misuse of quantitative methods, which cannot help the applicators effectively. Therefore, efforts to analyze the practical application of quantitative methods in China and give more specific suggestions on its shortcomings are of great significance for the development of quantitative methods in China. This paper examined the articles published in 11 comprehensive education journals included in the Chinese Social Science Citation Index (CSSCI) from 2015 to 2019 as the objects. It summarized the application of quantitative methods in educational empirical research in China in the past five years, and provided suggested solutions to some specific issues. Also, it presented the misuse of some widely used quantitative methods, and made the correct application suggestions; analyzed the future trend of applying quantitative methods in educational empirical research in China.

The Improvement of Percentile Band Score: Experience, Restriction and Possible Direction ZHANG Jianshi Journal of East China Normal University(Educationa    2018, 36 (3): 79-86+168+169.   DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5560.2018.03.008 Abstract （215）   HTML （24）    PDF （1320KB）（1912）       Knowledge map    The score comparability of different subjects in Gaokao reform has always been a big concern in recent years. Experience in some provinces shows that standard score reform is not a proper solution to this problem because of its technical flaws in the process of score conversion. Percentile band score,despite some restrictions like using total raw score in admission, seems a compromised choice. To some extent,percentile band score, as a kind of simplified standard score, makes it possible to compare the scores of different subjects before adding them together while leaving some negative influence on teaching and learning. However,technically, percentile band score still needs improving given the existing practice of using Gaokao scores. Reference | Related Articles | Metrics

Developmental Trajectory of High School Students’ Academic Motivation and Its Relation with Academic Achievement Yi Jiang Journal of East China Normal University(Educational Sciences)    2022, 40 (11): 80-91.   DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5560.2022.11.007 Abstract （722）   HTML （62）    PDF （910KB）（1263）       Knowledge map    As a bridge between compulsory education and higher education, high school education plays a vital role in Chinese education system. Whether students can establish adaptive motivational beliefs in high school significantly influences their future academic development. Using latent cross-lagged modeling, the present study investigated the longitudinal interrelation among self-concept, interest value, and effort cost in students’ academic achievement from grade 11 to 12 for both math and English domains. Results based on a sample of 694 Chinese high school students revealed significant reciprocity between self-concept and effort cost in math. In math, effort cost in the second semester of grade 11 also negatively predicted interest value in the first semester of grade 12. In English, the development of motivational beliefs is relatively independent, only self-concept in the first semester of grade 11 negatively predicted effort cost in the second semester of grade 11. In both math and English, self-concept positively predicted academic achievement, whereas effort cost negatively predicted academic achievement. Latent interaction analysis further revealed that there was significant interaction effect between self-concept and effort cost on achievement in the math domain. Findings of the present study highlight the importance of students’ motivational beliefs in influencing their academic achievement. In the meantime, the developmental trajectories of motivational beliefs are dynamic and demonstrate a clear pattern of domain-specificity. Table and Figures | Reference | Related Articles | Metrics
