School students’ aspirations for STEM careers
This study examined the processes that contributed to students’ aspirations for STEM careers and unpacked the relationships between students’ self-concept in science and mathematics learning, perceived parental expectations, perceptions of STEM professionals, career outcome expectations and STEM career aspirations. Structural equation modelling was used to analyse quantitative survey data of 2,477 primary and secondary school students studying in…
Middle leaders as catalysts for faux comprehension and pseudo-understanding
Case study of four Hong Kong schools using action-driven sensemaking framework. • On teachers' superficial compliance and misaligned goals masked by overconfidence. • Extends sensemaking theory through strategic compliance and cognitive bias. • Suggests improved guidelines and communication for better reform implementation. This study examines 'Faux Comprehension' and 'Pseudo-Understanding' among middle leaders and teachers in curriculum developm…
STEM career aspiration
Students’ social identity is considered to have profound effects on their learning and academic performance, but there was a lack of research on whether students’ social identity would also influence their aspirations to pursue STEM careers. This research studied the associations between the social identity of students and their aspirations to engage in STEM careers. Nearly 4,000 Hong Kong students from three key learning stages participated in a…
Parents' Perceptions of Education and Culture as a Context of Parental Stress
This study examines how cultural context mediates the association between parents' perceptions of education and parental stress under the ABC-X model. The analysis was based on a sample of 6454 parents of preschool children in Hong Kong. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis detected two major dimensions of parents' perceptions of children's education. Ordinary least squares regression models with interaction terms were used to analyze the…
Maintaining secondary school students’ STEM career aspirations
There have been increasing concerns about the significant decline in teenagers’ intentions to pursue STEM subjects or careers. This study examined how students’ perceptions of parental expectations, STEM cultural capital, mathematics/science self-efficacy, gender, and parents’ jobs were associated with STEM career aspirations and tested whether these associations differed by school level. Data were collected from 1,864 junior and 665 senior secon…
Parents or teachers
While existing research has well-recognized educational plan as an important predictor of students’ educational achievement, the alignment of educational plan and achievement should not be taken for granted. As plan-achievement misalignment is liable to negative psychological and social consequences, this study aims to examine the extent to which parents vis-à-vis teachers could guide students into plan-achievement alignment. Specifically, this s…
Revival or Innovation? Chinese medicine at the crossroads of professionalization in Hong Kong
Based on 67 in-depth interviews of Chinese medicine (CM) Practitioners in Hong Kong, this paper reviews the ongoing debate within Hong Kong's CM community between the two pathways of professionalization: revival of the Chinese traditional knowledge or innovate by incorporating biomedical principles. Following earlier efforts to apply social movement perspectives onto the study of professionalization, we examine how segments of CM practitioners st…
The Dynamics of Social Movements in Hong Kong
Studies of Hong Kong society have long focused one-sidedly upon economic proserity and political stability. Contributors to this volume redress this imbalance by taking a critical view of Hong Kong’s political development from the perspectives of social conflicts and collective actions. Instead of looking at Hong Kong from the top, this volume documents the active role played by local actors from below (political groups, student activists, trade …
Geopolitics, Global Production, and the Three Paths of Development in East Asia
Why did the East Asian region experience, not one, but three different paths of development (Japan’s rise from a core to a global economic power, China’s shift from revolutionary Maoism to market socialism, and the upgrading of Hong Kong, South Korea, and Taiwan to the status of the NIEs)? And why did the entire East Asian region become an epicenter of capitalist accumulation for the global economy in the 1990s? Adopting a regional framework, thi…
