Parents as customers, students as consumers
Making troublemakers
Discipline and order hold high value in China, with teachers prioritizing classroom management strictly. Drawing on a longitudinal ethnographic study conducted in an elementary school in China, this article examines the social construction of the “troublemaker” identity. Grounded in Becker’s labeling theory, we track the trajectory of students from their initial entry into school to the eventual solidification of their deviant roles. The findings…
Navigating Campus Crisis
This study investigated experiences and decision-making strategies of Student Affairs Officers (SAOs) facing significant crisis at a Sino-foreign cooperative university during the COVID-19 pandemic. Using habitual decision-making and 4 R crisis management frameworks, the study examined how SAOs navigated crisis management, anticipated student needs, and exercised decision-making authority. Findings highlight the importance of empowering SAOs thro…

Aladdin’s Genie or Pandora’s Box for Early Childhood Education? Experts Chat on the Roles, Challenges, and Developments of ChatGPT
Research Findings: This study aims to explore the optimal roles, pressing challenges, and future developments of ChatGPT in early childhood education (ECE) by interviewing six expert professors from China and the United States. A content analysis approach that combined inductive and deductive coding was employed to analyze the transcribed interviews. The findings of this study revealed two primary roles of ChatGPT in ECE: (1) conversational agent…
Professional legitimacy in flux
Institutional analysis typically assumes professional newcomers use strategic isomorphism to craft a legitimation project. A qualitative study of 31 tutors and their respective clients and managers in Beijing indicates how this project is continually in flux, predicating the life stages of its practitioners. Using the dyad theory of legitimacy, we find that tutors' professional legitimacy is anchored to their ability to meet the immediate expecta…

The Absent Family and the Education among Contemporary Tibetan Students
The deficiency of educational resources is typically held as one of the major impediments to the educational development of Tibetans in China. Even though the Chinese state has committed to supportive policies and providing resources to the region, the academic performance of Tibetan students remains low. The current study examines how students’ family life affects their academic performance in schools. Based on the fieldwork in two Tibetan-servi…
Classroom compositional effects on low‐ability students' achievement in China
Peer effects are at the center of educational policy debates regarding school choice, ability grouping, and instructional design. Though emerging empirical evidence suggests that positive peer effects exist, less is known about how it affects students with varying cognitive abilities. Using a nationally representative sample from China, we generated a student‐level measure of classroom composition of peers based on cognitive ability to understand…
Disenchantment revisited
Typically understood through a universal-statist framework, modern schooling in contemporary China often contributes to the disenchantment of ethnic students. Based on year-long research in a Tibetan-serving secondary school, we provide additional insight in this discussion. We argue that to treat disenchantment as a fixed state ignores the space-temporal quality of human action. The school’s social process is multiple and momentary in nature and…
Teaching under opportunism
Academic tutoring as a supplementary form of education has quickly spread across China. Tutoring has attracted young college-educated practitioners and has become a highly organized industry. The industry is fast-churning and opportunistic. This article examines the nature of tutors' work using the qualitative data of 31 tutors and their managers in Beijing. Characteristics of tutoring are typical of precarious service labor with irregular work s…
Towards a school culture of pedagogical fairness
Educational scholars have argued for fair pedagogical practices in response to the learning needs of diverse students. While pedagogical fairness has been widely advocated, few studies have systematically assessed its impact on student learning, and even fewer have examined pedagogical fairness from a school organisational perspective. To narrow this gap in research, the current study develops an expansive conceptualisation of pedagogical fairnes…

Generalized Inflated Discrete Models
Analysts of discrete data often face the challenge of managing the tendency of inflation on certain values. When treated improperly, such phenomenon may lead to biased estimates and incorrect inferences. This study extends the existing literature on single-value inflated models and develops a general framework to handle variables with more than one inflated value. To assess the performance of the proposed maximum likelihood estimator, we conducte…

A within-cultural comparison of filial piety beliefs among college students in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau
This study investigated variance in the structure, functions and implications of young adults’ dual filial piety beliefs in Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan using the dual filial piety model (DFPM). A total of 879 Chinese college students participated in the study, including 424 students in Hong Kong, 155 in Macau and 300 in Taiwan. Information on these young adults’ filial piety beliefs and life satisfaction was collected. The results showed that whi…
Mapping Trafficking of Women in China
In recent years, exposés on the trafficking of women have caught the public’s attention in China. However, due to data scarcity, the scope and nature of such criminal activity are not well understood. The authors of this study provide a new angle in the analysis of human trafficking by digitizing and analyzing court sentencing documents on trafficking in China during 2014–2015.Through mapping court data to geographic information and performing ne…
Trails of Data
As the availability of online data grows rapidly, researchers are confronted with a pressing question: How should social scientists collect Internet data for research? This study focuses on one of the most commonly used data collection techniques: web scraping. Going beyond canned approaches by leveraging a general framework of data communication, this study illustrates how online information can be systematically queried and fetched for reproduc…

Understanding the Constraints on the Supply of Public Education to the Migrant Population in China
The right to education for children from rural migrant families in urban areas has sparked heated debates in China. While there are increasing indications of policy changes to bring public education to all citizens regardless of their residency, it is less clear what kinds of resources are needed to create an education supply to serve this constantly moving and ever-growing population. Using archival and interview data on a large urban district i…
Social Segregation in Hong Kong's Schools
This article examines the distribution of students from various socioeconomic backgrounds across secondary schools in Hong Kong. Using data from the Program for International Student Assessment over the past decade, we computed axionomical indices of social segregation for 15-year-old students. The degree of social segregation in Hong Kong is compared with three other Chinese societies: Macau, Taiwan, and Shanghai. We found that social segregatio…

Challenges to maternal health care utilization among ethnic minority women in a resource-poor region of Sichuan Province, China
We present a simple descriptive study of maternal health care utilization among ethnic minority women in a remote region of China. Factors that affect women obtaining care and their decision-making are explored. Results show that utilization of maternal health care services is associated with a range of social, economic, cultural and geographic factors as well as the policies of the state and the delivery of services. Utilization is not necessari…

Science and Mathematics Achievement and the Importance of Classroom Composition
In this multicountry analysis, we generate a student-level measure of socioeconomic status (SES) “mixing” to understand the benefits or pitfalls of placing low-SES children with diverse peers. We conduct this analysis separately for equal and unequal countries that provide the same curriculum to all children regardless of ability level, and we find some surprising similarities. For example, lower mathematics and science test scores are associated…
