Student narratives on family capital and higher education in China
Exploring conceptualisations of vocational education in China
This research examines conceptualisations of Chinese vocational education. The parallel routes of academic and vocational education sort students into either strand with standardised exams. However, the status of academic and vocational work has been established through a culture of Confucianism. In order to examine current conceptualisations of vocational education, website-based commenting was used as an e-research method. Postings on the Chine…
Adult higher education as both an ‘opportunity’ and a ‘trap’
Through examining the perspectives of students within the Chinese Adult Higher Education sector, this paper investigates their motivation for gaining a degree (that many felt was undervalued) and their perceptions of credentialism in China’s post-massification era. Forty semi-structured interviews were undertaken with adult students studying for degrees in early childhood education. The resultant data is interpreted through the lens of credential…
Chinese adult higher education as a heterotopia
A tribe hidden in plain sight
The unbundling of the higher education sector has led to an increase in the number of academic tribes. One such tribe is that of the ‘instructor’. This paper examines how instructors at a university in Trinidad and Tobago are conceptualised at the institutional and individual level. Three data sources were examined: a document review of role descriptions as found in job adverts; quantitative self-perception data, and qualitative data on perceptio…
Impact of Time Management Behaviors on Undergraduate Engineering Students' Performance
Effective time management is associated with greater academic performance and lower levels of anxiety in students; however many students find it hard to find a balance between their studies and their day-to-day lives. This article examines the self-reported time management behaviors of undergraduate engineering students using the Time Management Behavior Scale. Correlation analysis, regression analysis, and model reduction are used to attempt to …

Improving higher education practice through student evaluation systems
Many higher education institutions use student evaluation systems as a way of highlighting course and lecturer strengths and areas for improvement. Globally, the student voice has been increasing in volume, and capitalising on student feedback has been proposed as a means to benefit teacher professional development. This paper examines the student evaluations at a university in Trinidad and Tobago in an effort to determine whether the student voi…

Cognitive Processes Used by Survey Respondents to Answer Behavioral Frequency Questions
Behavioral frequency questions are a common and important part of consumer surveys. The conventional model of how people answer such questions and how response errors occur has presumed that respondents recall and enumerate specific behavioral episodes. Recent laboratory research, however, has shown that respondents use a variety of processes in answering such questions. Results of this study confirm this finding in a field setting and show that …
Psychologic stress and blood glucose levels in nondiabetic subjects
This study analyzed the effect of a standardized psychologic stressor on blood glucose levels in nondiabetic subjects. Subjects participated in a stress and nonstress session, presented in counterbalanced order. At each session, subjects were fed a carbohydrate load and blood glucose responses were measured 0, 30, 60, 90, and 120 min after the load. On nonstress days, subjects relaxed after drinking the load, while on stress days subjects partici…
