Sociology of Education in Mainland China: Interruption & Loss (1949—1979), A Comparison Based on the “Sky of History” Cheng Tianjun 2020, 38 (12):  1-20.  doi: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5560.2020.12.001 Abstract ( 422 )   HTML ( 683 )   PDF (992KB) ( 472 )   Save As for the 30-year interruption of the sociology of education in mainland China from 1949—1979, it is inappropriate to touch on it lightly or vaguely, and a comparison based on the ‘sky of history’ is an effective way to review it and its loss. Compared with Soviet Union, it is found that while China was following & surpassing this Big Brother’s old disastrous road, its sociology of education had achieved rapid progress and peaked in the 1960—70s. And a comparison with Taiwan demonstrates that the both sides have the same root but different consequences. Unlike the complete interruption in mainland China, sociology of education in Taiwan at that time fulfilled two tasks of transforming from ‘sprouting’ to ‘laying foundation’ and from educational sociology to sociology of education. In the same period, sociology of education throughout the world developed quickly and promoted its discipline status from the edge to the mainstream. When China’s Opening & Reform came, the 30-year interruption had left us Chinese scholars blind both in time and space. We forgot the nearly 30-year-entrepreneurial-history of the sociology of education in China which had been swept aside during the interruption and also was unfamiliar with the flourishing of the international sociology of education at that moment. As a result, we had to restart learning and carry out the so-called ‘discipline re-construction’ which had never been heard before in the history of the development of sociology of education.

From the data analysis results, it can be seen that students with different entrepreneurial consciousness have different satisfaction with entrepreneurial education. Students of different grades and majors also have significant differences in the satisfaction of innovation and entrepreneurship education. The difference between innovation and entrepreneurship curriculum and traditional curriculum is not obvious. Finally, students’ satisfaction with the faculty of innovation and entrepreneurship needs to be improved. Based on the above conclusions, this study argues that to improve the quality of innovation and entrepreneurship courses, it is necessary to meet students’ curriculum needs and establish a diversified selection mechanism for innovation and entrepreneurship courses. Besides, it's important to enrich the content of entrepreneurship and innovation courses and increase the proportion of innovation and entrepreneurship practice courses that focus on innovation and innovation integration. Also, assessment of innovative course teaching is needed to optimize students' learning of innovation and entrepreneurship course. We should give full play to the role of mentors for entrepreneurship and innovation and establish a system of double mentors to guarantee students’ entrepreneurship and innovation activities.

In a random sampling, a total of 5, 021 valid questionnaires were conducted in 58 colleges and universities in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area which includes 9+2 cities.The results showed that the total score of students’ satisfaction evaluation of innovation and entrepreneurship education in colleges and universities was 3.43, which is in the middle and upper level. Specifically, the implementation and popularization of innovation and entrepreneurship education in colleges universities is satisfactory and the corresponding curriculum system can be adjusted in accordance with the strategic development trend. However, there are some problems to be solved. First, it is still difficult to integrate effectively with regional innovative and entrepreneurial resources in the process of innovation and entrepreneurship education. Second, the innovation and entrepreneurship education lays stress on theory with a single teaching method and insufficient integration with professional education. In addition, there is a shortage of innovation and entrepreneurship platforms, and the cooperative mechanism among colleges and universities, society and government needs to be improved. Last, there is a serious shortage of teachers for innovation and entrepreneurship education. In order to promote the development of innovation and entrepreneurship education, colleges and universities must establish a hierarchical system for innovation and entrepreneurship education based on their own conditions. They can take advantage of the innovative and entrepreneurial resources and industrial characteristics of the core cities in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. Moreover, it's necessary to develop excellent courses integrating professional education with innovation and entrepreneurship education and improve the mechanism of appointment and performance evaluation.

Based on the survey data of more than 14000 parents and students in 140 high schools in S province, this article dealt with the influencing factors of parents’ education satisfaction using the statistical method of multiple regression analysis. The results showed that at the school level, the relationship between teachers and students had the greatest impact on parents’ education satisfaction. At the student level, the interests, subjective well-being and academic performance of students had positive predictive effect on parents’ education satisfaction. Meanwhile, the frequency, content and method of family-school communication also had crucial impact on parents’ education satisfaction. Therefore, it’s suggested that basic hardware facilities and a good campus environment should be created, and a harmonious teacher-student relationship should be built. In addition, high-quality educational resources should be shared, and students’ interest in learning be stimulated to practice the educational concept of the new era. Finally, it’s important to establish a family-school communication mechanism to further promote family-school cooperation. References | Related Articles | Metrics

The Important Role of Education in the Targeted-poverty Alleviation: Empirical Analysis on Rural Economy and Education Development in the Poverty-stricken Areas of Northwest China Meng Zecha, Hao Wenwu, Hong Songsong, Wang Zhongxiao 2020, 38 (12):  109-120.  doi: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5560.2020.12.010 Abstract ( 276 )   HTML ( 499 )   PDF (1315KB) ( 375 )   Save Poor families are unable to get rid of poverty and return to poverty due to the lack of cultural and human capital. Promoting the development of rural education and increasing the cultural and human capital of poor families is an effective way to get rid of poverty and block the intergenerational transmission, which has fundamental and long-term effects. The empirical analysis on the economic and educational development of peasant households in the core areas of the north-west poverty-stricken areas reveals that the income/consumption structure is single, that the economic burden of investment in education is heavy, and that the increasing educational level of peasant households members will obviously promote the benefit of peasant households economic development. Poor families have weak potential for sustained development of human resources, and the problem of population aging is severe. There are obvious differences between the development of poor families and that of non-poor families. There is a high demand for specific education to get rid of poverty, and the distribution is more concentrated. We need to combine the way of economical poverty alleviation and educational poverty alleviation, accelerate the inclusive reform of rural education, carry out the program of “Education Moving Down”, push education into the peasant households and provide targeted service.

This study explores the status quo of reading teaching in rural primary schools in China from the perspective of schools and teachers, and its findings could help promote the development of early reading for rural students. The survey in 150 rural primary schools in Guizhou and Jiangxi and the results of PIRLS show that teaching of reading still needs to improve.The sample rural teachers had lower level of education, and had not received sufficient reading trainings. The reading materials for teaching were quite single and the schools did not develop students’ reading skills in time. The regression results show that there were significantly positive correlations between teaching of reading and student reading achievement in rural China. And education levels of rural teachers and reading training are especially important for reading development. In order to develop student reading, it is necessary to improve reading training and reading environment, and enrich reading resources for teachers in rural primary schools.
